Abstract :
A firm´s transition toward clean manufacturing (CM) is largely driven by public policy. The pursuit of CM focuses on reducing the amount and toxicity of waste from manufacturing processes. This research examines the optimal transition of a firm´s CM capabilities in response to various forms of public policy including penalties, subsidies, and cost sharing
