Green supply chain management enablers: Mixed methods research

Abstract

A B S T R A C TThis paper contributes to the literature on green supply chain management (GSCM) by arguing for the use of mixed methods for theory building. The literature has identified antecedents and enablers for the adoption of GSCM practices. Nevertheless, there is relatively little research on building robust methodological approaches and techniques that take into account the dynamic nature of green supply chains. To address this gap, the paper firstly reviews systematically the literature on GSCM enablers; secondly, it argues for the use of mixed methods research to address questions related to GSCM enablers; thirdly, it uses interpretive structural modeling (ISM), MICMAC analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to illustrate the application of mixed methods in GSCM by testing a model on the enablers of GSCM; and fourthly, highlights the influence of enablers including, inter alia, top management commitment, institutional pressures, supplier and customer relationship management on financial and environmental performance. Finally, we conclude with limitations and further research directions.

Green Supply Chain Management untuk Evaluasi Manajemen Lingkungan Berdasarkan Sertifikasi ISO 14001

Teknik pengambilan data menggunakan metode purposive sampling (mengambil subjek berdasarkan tujuan dan pertimbangan tertentu; Dubey et al, 2015). Jumlah sampel pada penelitian adalah sepuluh pakar yang mengetahui tentang manajemen lingkungan perusahaan.…”

New Integration of McDm Methods and QFD in the Selection of Green Suppliers

“…In the last decade, green manufacturing or green supply chain concept has been growing dramatically among researchers, managers, environmentalists and others (Gunasekaran, Spalanzani 2012;Brockhaus et al 2013). This is a developing trend among those companies, which make a connection between general green practices and their corporate strategies (Gunasekaran, Gallear 2012;Sarkis et al 2011;Dubey et al 2015).…”

Develop Eco-Friendly Enterprise: Aligning Enablers with Strategy

“…Green providers also need to perform identified green characteristics. Supply chain strategies, structures, core competencies, supply chain processes, and information systems are key to determining qualified green providers [12,13,19,24,25,34]. From the viewpoint of green supplier development practices, Bai and Sarkis [25] grouped a set of 30 green provider characteristics into three major categories: (a) green knowledge transfer and communication; (b) investment and resource transfer; and (c) management and organizational practices.…”

“…These criteria are as follows: (a) developing environmentally friendly products; (b) implementing environmentally friendly internal operations; (c) gaining recognition for environmentally positive behaviors; (d) environmentally friendly purchasing; (e) environmental collaboration with customers; (f) encouraging suppliers to adopt more environmentally friendly behaviors; (g) interacting with customers to change product specifications; (h) reverse logistics; (i) ISO 14001 certification; and (j) waste minimization. A GSCM development literature review conducted by Dubey et al [34] reported five principal components encompassing 26 GSCM providers. These providers were: (a) top-management commitment; (b) institutional pressure; (c) supplier relationship management; (d) total quality management; and (e) green technology adoption.…”
