Comparative Analysys Regarding the Management of Traditional Industrial Parks and Eco-Industrial Parks

Abstract:     
The paper presents the main components of the management system, both in traditional industrial parks and eco-industrial parks, emphasizing the differences between them. Eco-industrial parks are, up to a point, behaving like common industrial parks but they are meant to go beyond this stage because of their environmental aims. The authors bring up the main goals of eco-industrial parks and underline the necessity of a different managerial approach in their case. The most important differences are described in detail beginning with the types of managerial structures and ending with their functions. A major point of the paper is the presentation of some of the responsibilities of the management systems of eco-industrial parks that prove to be critical success factors for the development of those projects.
