Technology transfer for sustainable development Environmentalism and entrepreneurship in Hong Kong International Journal of Social Economics ; Bradford; 1996; Martinsons, Maris G.; Leung, Andy K.Y. ; Loh, Christine; Volume: 23 Issue: 9 Start Page: 69-96 ISSN: Subject Terms: Sustainable development Technology transfer Environmental protection Entrepreneurs Studies Classification Codes: 9130: Experimental/theoretical 9179:Asia the Pacific 1120: Economic policy planning Geographic Names: Hong Kong Abstract: Proactive efforts are increasingly advocated to conserve scarce resources, prevent future deterioration of the natural environment and sustain economic development. The progress towards, and prospects for, such sustainable development in Hong Kong were recently investigated. The long-standing role of the territory as an international gateway and a development model for the Peoples Republic of China magnifies the significance of this research. Although business activities and consumer attitudes in Hong Kong indicate that economic issues still dominate ecological concerns, support was found for a technology transfer theory of environmentalism. The socio-economic psychology of Hong Kong favors market incentives rather than command-and-control policies. Entrepreneurial incentives, information to raise public awareness and effective environmental technology transfer can be the foundation of a strategic environmental management effort across Greater China . To achieve sustainable development, a set of laws and penalties for environmental wrongdoers must be accompanied by incentives for greener behavior.
