Powerful forces are driving a green economic revolution worldwide, providing in the process a strong lever for broad-based economic development in many parts of the globe, and often re-orienting national development trajectories.
South Africa, having one of the most carbon-intensive economies in the world, is no exception. Its national government is strongly committed to unleashing the potential of the green economy. This is clearly spelt out in the ‘New Growth Path’2 strategy document, which classifies the green economy as one of the ten ‘jobs drivers’. The ‘Industrial Policy Action Plan’3 in turn, encompasses strategic initiatives to develop green industries and to improve energy efficiencies. More recently, the ‘National Climate Change Response Strategy’ white paper highlighted a set of near term flagship programmes that underline the progressive transition towards a greener economy4. Importantly, the window of opportunity is quite limited and the international environment is increasingly competitive. This indicates a degree of urgency if South Africa is to succeed in the localisation drive.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the drivers of eco-innovation and to compare the impact of eco-innovation and non-eco-innovation on firm performance. The paper provides insights into the role government regulation can play in directing and stimulating eco-innovation. The findings suggest that regulation and customer perception can explain a firm’s decision to engage in eco-innovation. Eco-innovation is also found to be more important than non-eco-innovation in determining firm performance.

First Solar is the world's largest thin-film solar module manufacturer and largest utility-scale solar project developer. It has constructed the three largest PV solar power plants globally and has worldwide operations across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. First Solar discusses trends in solar PV costs declines, installation growth across key markets, the cyclical nature of subsidy-driven markets, and the need for grid parity and new markets if the industry is to thrive without long-term subsidies. Challenges discussed include accommodating solar at scale without subsidies and ensuring priority grid access, transmission, and continued policymaker support.

Chinese manufacturer wants to expand its existing EU business by going direct with its own brand and starting a new business. It will research the target market, competition, potential customers like agents and distributors, and consumer reports on satisfaction. It will analyze collected data from telephone inquiries, interviews, exhibitions and online research to develop a detailed marketing strategy for finding new customers in Europe. The strategy will include financial overviews, pricing models, volumes and a comparison to closest competitors.
Compare company types (with rep office)cn Helenachn Chen
Representative offices, branch offices, and subsidiaries are different types of local organizations a foreign company can establish. A representative office does not have a separate legal status and can only conduct limited business activities like market research. A branch office is an extension of the parent company and can perform sales and business operations but is still fully liable under the parent. A subsidiary is incorporated as a separate legal entity where the parent has limited liability and it can conduct any business activities. The document provides details on the legal registration process and requirements, taxation, accounting practices for each type.
