Firm-ENGO strategic alliances as a knowledge-based strategy for sustainability: the case of the joint solutions project in B.C.'s coastal forest products industry (Doctoral thesis, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada).

C.'s coastal forest products firms and campaigning environmental non­governmental organizations (ENGOs) had been engaged in an intense conflict for many years over the management and use of the Province's coastal temperate rainforests. In 2000, in response to marketplace pressures and public policy failures, the two sides laid down their arms and established a strategic alliance for developing innovative new approaches for sustainably managing the coastal forests. The outcome of the alliance was a new knowledge base for sustainable forest management. This research presents a three­stage model of knowledge creation based on a firm-civil society alliance.xiii, 479 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
