“…The literature has introduced a wide and quite disjointed list of environmental activities. While some focus on broader practices such as environmental commitment, plans and policies (Lannelongue et al 2015;Paulraj 2009), environmental management systems (Lo et al 2012), audit schemes and life cycle assessment (Chiarini 2014), environmental awareness programs , compliance with laws (Chiarini 2017), and public disclosure of environmental records (Zhu and Geng 2006), others address more focused tasks such as waste elimination (Li et al 2017;Sroufe 2003), emission reduction (Li et al 2017;Zhu and Geng 2006), water management (Li et al 2017), energy consumption and renewable energies (Kurapatskie and Darnall 2013), packaging material, hazardous material , transport and logistics (Walker and Brammer 2009), and product recyclability (Bos-Brouwers 2010;. This research extracts a thorough list of environmental practices and their cases from the literature and puts them into major categories of environmental activities.…”

“…Those green purchasing activities include strategic environmental sourcing, supplier development programs, supplier selection for environmental sourcing and supplier assessment metrics (Sroufe, 2006). Zhu and Geng (2006) estimated that purchased inputs for a manufacturer account for an overall value of 60% in all product costs and 50% of the quality problems. Consequently, green purchasing plays an important role for reducing environmental impacts across the whole product life cycle.…”

In recent years, environmental performance has become part of a company’s strategic value. This is partly attributed by the recent regulatory development in this area. For example the WEEE and RoHS directives were enforced by the European Union to require manufacturers to take recycling (and reuse) and selection of material into design consideration. These initiatives exemplify the importance of green supply chain management. Although companies can make use of green supply chain management to create a competitive advantage by generating more business opportunities, improper management of their supply chain activities in this regard may affect the ability to survival. Greening the suppliers is one of the many approaches to “green” a supply chain. In addition, green innovation can help companies pursue green supply chain management and hence improve environmental performance, as product design and process design are important aspects of any supply chains. Nevertheless, a need exists to develop a model to investigate the relationship between these factors (namely, greening of suppliers, green innovation, environmental performance and competitive advantage). The objective of this paper is to develop a research framework for investigating how future research can address these issues. Hypotheses, constructs, and their measures of the model are discussed.

“…Second, this paper isa new attempt to measure macroeconomic policies. Existing research of the measurement of macroeconomic policies consists of questionnaire surveys that have been distributed to enterprises (e.g., [ 16 , 17 ]). Although these surveys can obtain unique data, their authenticity is open to question and they have a small sample size.…”

This paper applies quantitative and narrative approaches to fiscal and financial policies of Chinese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in order to study the support effect of macro policies on micro enterprises. As the first researchers to focus on the firm heterogeneity of SMEs’ policy effects, we show that the “flood irrigation” supportive policies for SMEs have not achieved the expected “help the weaker” effect. Non-state-owned SMEs and small(micro) enterprises have a low sense of policy gain, which is contrary to some “positive” research conclusions from China. The mechanism study found that “ownership” and “scale” discrimination suffered by non-state-owned and small(micro) enterprises in the financing process are key. We suggest the supportive policies for SMEs should shift from “flood” to “precise drip” irrigation. The policy benefits of non-state-owned, small and micro enterprises need to be emphasized. More targeted policies need to be studied and provided. Our findings shed new light on the formulation of supportive policies for SMEs.
