Abstract

This paper details a specific procedure to conceptualize and measure environmental strategy of handcraft businesses. The conceptualization and operationalization is studied from the perception of the artisan to the operating procedure of a variable. As a result of the process, the statistical validity of the study is presented using an exploratory factorial analysis, and the environmental strategy variable is explained with four factors with a reliability on the scale of .88 according to Cronbach's alpha.
