“…EM practices to support environment sustainability include, among others, TQM as stated by Garrod and Chadwick [59], Theyel [60] and Yang et al [52]. Besides this, Pipatprapa et al [61] more recently showed that quality management has a significantly positive effect on environmental performance. Therefore, in order to become effective, the EM system should be part of an IMS and must belong to a wider strategy, which should include TQM [62,63].…”

Sustainability, TQM and Value Co-Creation Processes: The Role of Critical Success Factors

2016

Sustainability views firm success and the welfare-wellbeing of societies in which they develop as closely inter-related. Value co-creation assumes that firms create value not only for themselves, but also for all actors willing to participate in co-creation processes, as well as for the whole ecosystem in which they operate. Thus, co-creation can sustain social development and sustainability. However, to ensure sustainability through value co-creation processes, TQM principles must be followed and Critical Success Factors (CSFs) reinterpreted following this perspective. In this important, but understudied context, the aim of the paper is to focus on value co-creation processes fostering sustainability, identifying which CSFs are most suitable to best support each phase of these processes. The paper is based on a review of the literature and bridges sustainability, value co-creation, TQM, EM and IMS literature for the first time, proposing a new model of value co-creation processes, which considers it a never ending cycle. The proposed model presents and discusses, for the first time, the most important CSFs to foster sustainability and opens the discussion on how to re-interpret quality principles, which must also be followed in value co-creation processes.

“…Pipatprapa et al [31] applied the hybrid structural equation modeling (SEM) and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to find out factors that are influential on the environmental performance of Thailand's food industry. The results showed that quality management, market orientation, and innovation capability have significantly positive effects on the environmental performance.…”

Abstract:Competitiveness is the ability and performance of a firm, subsector or country to sell or supply goods or services in a given market. The competitiveness and sustainability of an enterprise are closely related. Competitiveness has received ever-growing attention in the era of globalization. This Special Issue provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to review and disseminate quality research work on competitive and sustainable manufacturing in the era of globalization and their applications, and to identify critical issues for further developments.

“…Other standards are also considered to be important for the sector, such as the BRC and IFS food safety standards. Until recently, the sector was totally focused on quality, but recently there has been a shift towards environmental aspects, which may suggest that the ISO 9001 quality standard has been a facilitating element in this process, coinciding with studies carried out in various other countries [25,29,50,103].…”

Motives, Barriers, and Expected Benefits of ISO 14001 in the Agri-Food Sector

Over time, sustainability has gained a greater presence in companies and with consumers around the world, although it can be said that there is still some confusion in its conceptualization and in the identification of the driving factors. A part of the literature considers that environmental management systems (EMS) such as ISO 14001 are facilitating factors that allow organizational remodeling towards more sustainable production. For a better understanding, this paper presents a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews to analyze the perceptions that managers, employees, and quality managers have about the concept of sustainability and, given that environmental management systems are considered as motivational factors, it also analyzes the perceptions they have about the motivations, barriers, and expected benefits of their adoption in the olive food industry in southern Spain. It is possible to point out the existence of some confusion about the concept of sustainability, and that both regulatory and market factors such as image and reputation improvement, differentiation, and sales increases, especially in exports, are considered to be motivational for their implementation. This work contributes to the literature on sustainability and environmental management systems in sectors of activity with high environmental involvement, such as the agri-food industry.
