management system or EMS would only create benefit for the external environment, but not

one Thai company which is planning to certify to ISO 14001 standard, as the examples to
analyze the perceptions of related costs and benefits when implementing the EMS. The author
interviewed all the four companies and personally talked to the people who were in charge of
implementing and maintaining the EMS. Through a scoring model, the author quantified the
major costs and benefits based on the perceptions of all interviewees and the made the
comparison. The result that the author has found is on the perceptions of costs and benefits
analyses, it does have large internal benefits when a company implementing ISO 14001 . |
