“…Several factors lead firms to pursue green supply chain practices in a global context, including common global environmental standards such as ISO 14000 (Rondinelli and Berry 2000;Miles and Russell 1997), policies from corporate headquarters (Hanson et al 2004), effects of environmental performance on organizations's global reputations (Christmann 1998), cost reduction (Zhu et al 2005;Brito et al 2008), and pressures from stakeholders (Zhu et al 2008a, b, Christmann andTaylor 2001) and competitors (Walker et al 2008). To improve the sustainability and competitiveness of supply chains, it is necessary to integrate environmental management practices into the entire supply chain (Zhu et al 2005;Linton et al 2007).…”

Nowadays, companies are struggling to find an appropriate supply chain strategy to achieve competitiveness. Among the available strategies lean, green and resilient are considered as a new management strategies for the supply chain management to achieve competitiveness. The major issues with theses strategies are the integration and identification of critical issues related to the strategies. This paper aims to identify the critical lean, green and resilient practices on which top management should focus in order to improve the performance of automotive supply chains. The systematic analysis of the lean, green and resilient practices is expected to be of great value for their effective implementation by the automotive companies. The interpretive structural modeling approach is used as a useful methodology to identify inter-relationships among lean, green and resilient practices and supply chain performance and to classify them according to their driving or dependence power. According to this research, the practices with the main driving power are just-in-time (lean practice), flexible transportation (resilient practice) and environmentally friendly packaging (green practice). Customer satisfaction is the performance measure with strong dependence and weak driving power; that is, it is strongly influenced by the other researched variables but does not affect them.

“…Furthermore, through the adoption of EMSs, environmental managers discover how the undesired impacts can be prevented or minimized (Rondinelli & Berry, 2000). It is believed that environmental concerns facing us today are indicators of both environmental and economic inefficiency.…”

“…Promoted as an 'ideal way' through which MNEs can engage in ethical behaviour, activities labelled as 'corporate social responsibility' vary considerably, ranging from involvement with communities (Grayson, 1993;Muthuri, 2008;Seitanidi and Ryan, 2007) to establishing environment management systems (Ingram and Frazier, 1980;Rondinelli and Berry, 2000).…”

Seeking Legitimacy Through CSR: Institutional Pressures and Corporate Responses of Multinationals in Sri Lanka

Arguably, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of multinational enterprises (MNEs) are influenced by a wide range of both internal and external factors. Perhaps most critical among the exogenous forces operating on MNEs are those exerted by state and other key institutional actors in host countries. Crucially, academic research conducted to date offers little data about how MNEs use their CSR activities to strategically manage their relationship with those actors in order to gain legitimisation advantages in host countries. This paper addresses that gap by exploring interactions between external institutional pressures and firm-level CSR activities, which take the form of community initiatives, to examine how MNEs develop their legitimacy-seeking policies and practices. In focusing on a developing country, Sri Lanka, this paper provides valuable insights into how MNEs instrumentally utilise community initiatives in a country where relationshipbuilding with governmental and other powerful non-governmental actors can be vitally important for the long-term viability of the business. Drawing on neo-institutional theory and CSR literature, this paper examines and contributes to the embryonic but emerging debate about the instrumental and political implications of CSR. The evidence presented and discussed here reveals the extent to which, and the reasons why, MNEs engage in complex legitimacy-seeking relationships with Sri Lankan host institutions.
