N2 - Differences in the organisation of particular industrial sectors are crucial for understanding not just variation in the capacity for action but also in the nature and location of such actions, especially as they relate to the newly global construction of the environment. Relevant organisational features include the nature of different products and business processes, intra-business relationships within markets for production and distribution, and the malleability of the technological base of a sector. This chapter elaborates on these differences in the case of four business sectors: baking, building construction, printing and refrigeration. Having taken these differences on board, it explores the extent to which the global environment has seeped into each of the four sectors, as suggested by how key players make connections between global change and their sector's own business practices. Global environmental discourse has, indeed, been translated into sector-specific understanding of relevant practices in the cases of refrigeration and building.
