The document discusses the hesitancy of US firms to adopt ISO 14001 environmental management certification compared to other countries. It analyzes the perceived costs and benefits of certification through a large-scale survey and a detailed case study, concluding that while certified plants experience positive impacts on operations, these benefits are primarily attitudinal rather than strategic. The study emphasizes the importance of industrial context in understanding the effects of ISO 14001 and suggests that US firms may not pursue certification due to insufficient economic justification.
