The durability of consumer durables [PDF]
Business Strategy and the Environment, 1994 AbstractThe life span of a product is a key component in assessing its environmental impact. Until very recently, however, product durability was far from prominent in the environmental debate. This has begun to change due to mounting concern about waste, the prospect of producer ‘take back’ schemes and the importance of quality in highly competitive ...

Durable. Vous avez dit durable ? [PDF]
Traduire, 2013 Quand j’entends l’expression « developpement durable », je ne sors pas mon revolver mais je ne peux m’empecher de penser a une reflexion d’Hercule Poirot dans un episode d’Agatha Christie. Nous sommes sur une scene de meurtre. Les policiers s’affairent autour du cadavre, mais Poirot porte son attention sur un fauteuil et demande : « Ce fauteuil a-t-il ...
