Abstract :
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), colleges and enterprises are playing the major roles in the field of green manufacturing in the worldwide. Compared to colleges and enterprises, NGOs can carry out and promote green manufacturing more effectively in view of its non-profit mission and the vision to reduce environmental harm. However, investment for green manufacturing in NGOs is a complicated process, which involves a lot of elements. This paper tries to propose the Logistic Equation method to put forward the investment problems in theoretical explanation. The conclusions indicate that the investment behavior has strong dynamic characteristics influenced by invested fund, economic benefit, social effect, market demands, the governmental policy and so on. Therefore, this paper gives certain meaningful inspirations and some scientific supports to the empirical ideas.
