“…should it be just the procurement stage or the full logistics channel? The research in GSCM addresses a variety of issues ranging from organizational research and practice in GSCM [16,31,32] to prescriptive models for evaluation of green supply chain management practices and technology [33e35].…”

Green investments are crucial mechanisms for translating green operation strategies into managerial action. We examine the impact of external pressures on green investment patterns in terms of their scope, type and time horizon across 251 German and US managers. A scenario-based experiment was conducted using a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design in which managers were assigned to high and low consumer, community, and resource treatment groups before being asked to make green investment decisions. Our hypotheses are developed based on resource advantage theory and tested in a number of regression models. The results demonstrate that German and US managers respond differently to external pressures in their green investment decisions. Regarding the scope of green investments, German and US managers invest differently if end consumer pressure increases and partially differently if resource scarcity increases, but they act in a similar way if community pressure increases. Moreover, we detected specific variations in the type and time horizon of green investments across US and German managers. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings for green operations management research and for firms operating in multinational settings are explained.

“…Rao (2004) referred environmental protection as (1) reducing pollution causing substances, such as air emissions, noise and solid and liquid waste and (2) conserving resources that can be renewed and those that cannot be renewed (Rao 2003). Past researchers such as Chu et al (2009), Sarkis (1998 and Theyel (2001) have described improving environmental performance as managing hazardous materials and the usage of recycled products. Accordingly, the present study adopts a similar approach to environmental performance, which is minimising waste as well as hazardous materials.…”

A clear research need has been identified to confirm the structural relationships between greening the supplier, enhanced environmental performance and improved competitive advantage, to provide an impetus for firms to green their suppliers. A mail survey was conducted and empirical data of 119 ISO 14001 manufacturing firms in Malaysia was gathered for this study. Structural equation modelling technique was applied in this research article. Results from the analysis, reveal the existence of a positive and significant linkage between green suppliers with both environmental performance and competitive advantage. At the same time, environmental performance has also been shown to positively and significantly affect competitive advantage; while environmental performance plays a partial mediating role between greening the supplier and competitiveness. Such significant finding is especially essential for the manufacturing sector registered with ISO 14001 who intend to enhance their environmental performance and carve a niche competitive edge in the business arena.
