PurposeThis paper seeks to explore, summarize, and interpret the existing literature linking green supply chain management (GSCM) to culture. To achieve this goal, three main questions are answered: (1) How culture has been linked to GSCM in prior works? (2) What are the general problems exposed? (3) What gaps to detect?Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review related to culture–GSCM was conducted. The review combines descriptive and content analysis of 46 academic peer-reviewed English papers from 30 international journals.FindingsAround 90 percent of the articles are empirical papers, only 10 percent are conceptual papers. These papers systematically focused on two issues: the largest number deal with the organizational culture–environmental practices, then national culture–environmental practices. The GSCM–culture relationship underlines contrast findings stemmed from various factors, levels of analysis, different sample, research design, contexts, and so on. Among the results, a conceptual model is developed, allowing suggestions for future research.Research limitations/implicationsThis review is limited by the environmental practices of SCM raised in the literature, excluding corporate responsibility or ethics researches. This study may not be exhaustive and expose all papers in the field, but it does definitively assess a wider number of papers available and to which access is provided. Future researchers empirically test the conceptual model proposed toward more clarifications.Practical implicationsThis paper provides managers with an extra element to take into consideration while accustoming with GSCM, which is better understanding the role and the sensitivity of cultural values in order to harmonize with the changes.Originality/valueThis paper had extended the prior reviews to add recent and new papers. It does not only update the understanding related to culture–GSCM but goes beyond that to propose a multidisciplinary model theorizing the existing links and calling for ultimate investigations for the detected gaps.

“…On the other hand, previous research has roughly classified green governance contexts across the world into developed and developing countries e.g., [10], rich and poor countries e.g., [45], and north and south countries e.g., [46]. These simple dichotomies obscure the rich connotations of green governance [1,21], overlook the progress made by some countries in green governance [47][48][49], and cause ambiguity for scholars and managers. Thus, through the perspectives of growth priority and green priority, we first pragmatically recategorized green governance contexts along two dimensions: FDI policy and environmental regulation.…”

“…For instance, in recent decades, many developing countries have experienced significant progress in strengthening their environmental regulations [47]. The perception that the governments of developing countries "grudgingly address environmental degradation" may no longer be accurate today [48]. Indeed, there are a growing number of developing countries that have integrated environmental protection into their economic and developmental interests [49].…”

“…Kenya and Brazil vigorously promote green development and have increased their degree of environmental legislation and enforcement in recent decades. Their efforts address environmental degradation [48] and have gradually narrowed the gap between their environmental approaches and those of advanced economies. However, the environmental regulations of Argentina, Mongolia, Venezuela, Nigeria, Peru, and Thailand demonstrate a lower level of stringency, and the enforcement is often crippled by corruption and a lack of monitoring.…”

“…Governmental green governance, by its nature, is dynamic. Through decades of continuous efforts toward environmental protection, many countries that are formerly known as developing, poor, or southern have made significant progress in environmental protection legislation and enforcement [47,48]. In addition, many governments have increasingly come to see FDI as an important driver of economic growth [10].…”

Green Governance and International Business Strategies of Emerging Economies’ Multinational Enterprises: A Multiple-Case Study of Chinese Firms in Pollution-Intensive Industries

et al. 2019

With the global consensus on the need for sustainability practices, green governance has attracted increasing attention from international business (IB) scholars and multinational enterprise (MNE) managers. In this study, we propose a more fine-grained framework of the green governance context along two dimensions: foreign direct investment (FDI) policy and environmental regulation. Then, we examine the framework using cluster analysis. On the basis of a multiple-case study comprising 11 Chinese MNEs in pollution-intensive industries operating in four different green governance contexts, we conclude that (1) the green governance context is a significant factor in MNEs’ global location choices and is an important driving force behind MNEs’ response patterns; (2) environmental capabilities enable MNEs to surmount a host country’s environmental entry barrier and facilitate wider global business deployment; (3) technological capabilities increase MNEs’ competitive edge and allow them to better harness a host country’s growth opportunities; (4) there are four types of green governance response patterns, and the details of the proposed classification structure and its validation are presented; and (5) both strict environmental regulation and friendly FDI policy can positively influence MNEs’ adoption of more active response patterns, and greater availability of environmental and technological capabilities does not affect MNEs’ environmental commitment. This study contributes to the international strategy-capability-environment alignment of emerging economies’ multinational enterprises (EMNEs) in different green governance contexts.

The relationship between green supply chain and green innovation based on the push of green strategic alliances

This article aims to examine the influence of green strategic alliances (GSA) on both green radical and incremental innovation through the effects of green supply chain integration (GSCI). A theoretical model was proposed and evaluated using structural equation modeling. A 37‐item questionnaire was created to assess the proposed relationships, and a total of 303 valid responses were obtained from a sample of industrial and service companies in China. The findings indicate that GSA have a positive impact on GSCI, and thus, on both green radical and green incremental innovation. This study also explores the role of strategic alliances in corporate green innovation, and how members of alliances can benefit from superior green innovation through shared value creation. The authors innovatively adopt the frameworks of value creation and stakeholder theory to explain how supply chain (knowledge, technology, and processes) can aid firms in achieving green radical and incremental innovation.
