Development of a systematic for the internalisation of external effects -
An approach for a sustainable transformation of the manufacturing sector
Abstract
The lack of consideration of external effects leads to fundamental market-failures in economic systems. This has negative impact on society and environment. The aim of this thesis is the development of a systematic for the internalisation of external effects for the manufacturing industry. Addi-tionally, this systematic is intended to serve as a theoretic basis for a possible political Instrument. As foundation for the development, research of the environmental economic principles, current certification methods and action strategies is conduct and enriched with expert interviews. Furthermore, the status of the current discussion on the transformation of the economy is illustrated to enable a short classification of the own approach. The findings underline the fundamental need for a sustainable transformation of the economy. For a partial testing of the systematic there was a cooperation with the bicycle manufacturer Riese und Müller. The results reveal, that this systematic implemented as a political instrument can contribute to a transformation of the economy. There is a great need of research for the functional configuration of such a systematic and its consequences. The master thesis is written in the context of the innovation project QuartaVista under the lead of SAP SE.
