Evaluation of the evolution of green management with a Kuhnian perspective

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the evolutionary development of green management. To do this, first, Kuhn's ''paradigm'' concept has been operationalized and the development stages of a movement of thought were determined. The green management is then scrutinized within the framework of each of these stages and the impacts of environmentalism in management research and practice are examined. It is concluded that the crises in normal science, existence of a scientific community, the presence of common beliefs, values and norms, and the increasing anomalousness are strengths of the green management. However, the core position of profit orientation in business strategies weakens the green management.

Circular business models: level of maturity

“…Therefore, the assumptions of circular business models include: circular supply – renewable energy, fuels and bio-based products; waste as a resource from which useful resources and energy may be recovered; industrial symbiosis – sharing platforms; increasing the utilization rate of products by increasing the number of users; gaining more benefits from the same volume of goods by eliminating downtime; the product as service – dematerialization of products; and providing access to products while maintaining ownership of the producer. Thus, the CE has the potential to change the current model, where, according to Guner (2018), the central position of profit orientation in business strategies weakens green management. Rebs et al (2018) also show that in this context the importance of stakeholder influences on the sustainable supply chain.…”

Board Power Hierarchy, Corporate Mission, and Green Performance

“…Since the dependent variable in this paper is distributed within (0, 1), the following logit regression model was constructed to verify the effect of board power hierarchy on corporate green governance performance through green governance conduct. Models (5) and (6) were set to verify the mediating role of green governance conduct in the impact of board power hierarchy (formal hierarchy and informal hierarchy) on green governance performance (H3a and H3b). In model (6), the coefficient can verify hypothesis H2.…”

“…The concept of green development has been gradually recognized by the world. From firms' green management [6], green finance and the green supply chain, the government's green administration and green gross domestic product (GDP), to the public's green consumption, all society participants have gradually begun to implement green practices [7,8]. Some international organizations have implemented many initiatives or declarations about resources and environmental protection, which provide a certain direction for green development.…”

“…Some international organizations have implemented many initiatives or declarations about resources and environmental protection, which provide a certain direction for green development. However, the concrete practical content of these initiatives is not clear [3], and standard guidance connecting the green concept and practice is lacking [6], which has led to the overall low level of green governance of listed companies [8]. Therefore, the establishment of an effective mechanism for green governance has become a key issue in current green governance research [3].…”
