Thesis defended in December, 2013: CONTRIBUTIONS OF A BROKER TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ECO-INDUSTRIAL TRANSACTIONS ON A TERRITORY. THREE CASE STUDIES IN NPDC REGION.
Abstract : Industrial ecology draws on the cyclic functioning of natural ecosystems in order to reorganize and sustain production and consumption systems. It encourages inter-organizational cooperation in order to develop strategies of utility sharing (organizations pool together to share services) and waste exchanges (the waste of an organization becomes the raw material of another one). These practices lead to waste transactions between economic actors. Such projects are increasing in France and abroad, nevertheless eco-industrial transactions remain difficult to implement. The literature shows that the presence of a broker makes it easier to establish and sustain collective strategies, including eco-industrial initiatives. Adopting a micro-analytical approach and a qualitative methodology, this PhD thesis aims at identifying the contributions of the broker to eco-industrial transactions on a territory. Three inter-organizational networks, located in the NPDC region and operated by a broker, are studied. The mobilization of the theory of transaction costs allows a fine and comparative analysis of industrial ecology practices. This research also assesses the economic interest of the broker and the costs and benefits of utility sharing and waste exchanges for the firm (facilitation of collective actions, absorption of transaction costs, increase in bargaining power, reduction of production costs, coordination with the broker and new transaction costs…).
