“…For example, Mittal et al (2016) have undertaken a study on barriers to Green Lean using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and found that "lack of management engagement" has a considerable impact across the list of barriers. It would be difficult to introduce Green Lean initiatives without the engagement of the top management of the industrial industries (Leong et al, 2019). From Figure 3, we can see that "B 2 " have causal interactions on B 4 (financial restrictions) and B 11 (lack of awareness about potential benefits).…”

PurposeGreen Lean concepts offer methods for managing manufacturing organizations with the goal of improving organizational performance. Green Lean practices are good options to increase the environmental and operational performance of manufacturing industries. However, there are some barriers to implement Green Lean in manufacturing industries. This paper aims to identify these barriers by reviewing the literature and analyze inter-relationships amongst selected barriers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper deals with the identification of barriers to the adoption of Green Lean practices in manufacturing industries. Using the DEMATEL approach and using the insights of experts, a cause and effect relationship diagram was generated through which the effect of barriers was analyzed.FindingsTwelve barriers were categorized in terms of cause and effect, and the interrelationships of barriers were also analyzed. Threshold value is calculated as 0.134 and the values lower than a were eliminated to obtain the digraph. “Resistance to change,” “lack of top management commitment” and “lack of training to employees” are the most prominent barriers on the basis of their prominent score.Research limitations/implicationsAnalysis in the research is highly dependent on expert judgments and opinions may be biased. However, the initial matrix obtained from the experts is hindered by the ambiguity about some relationships. But this can be improved by using fuzzy and grey set theories. The barriers used for the analysis are not from a specific type of manufacturing industry.Practical implicationsThe findings will help the manufacturing organizations to simplify the most important barriers, the least significant barriers and the relationships between these barriers. This Berlin knowledge will enable administrators to increase awareness of the barriers in Green Lean implementation. “The top management commitment” and “government support” are most important for the removal of barriers to Green Lean strategies.Originality/valueVery few scholars have used the DEMATEL approach to examine the sequence of the barriers to Green Lean implementation. The present study attempts to incorporate the DEMATEL model to assess the sequence of barriers to the implementation of Green Lean. This study investigates the degree of influence of barriers on each other and categorizes the barriers into cause and effect groups. This study is also intended to pave the way for future research in the path of the elimination of barriers to Green Lean strategies.

The authors propose an improved method of assessing the competitiveness of production of regions. The novelty of this method lies in the principles of selection of competitiveness factors based on the concepts: "Lean production", "Economy of sustainable development", "Change Management" (previously these concepts were not taken into account in the methods of other researchers). The study selected and classified (using the method of expert evaluation) influencing factors of competitiveness of production on five criteria: longterm and short-term action factor; financial results production and sales of the product; compliance to norms (standards) in the production and sale of the product; the extensiveness of changes in the production and sale of the product; interaction and integration in the production and sale of the product. Approbation of the methodology for assessing competitiveness was carried out on the example of rubber and plastic products of the Russian regions participating in the project "New Silk Road" (using a score and ranking). Approbation of a technique of an estimation of competitiveness on an example of production from rubber and plastic of the Russian regions-participants of the project "New Silk Road" (by means of point estimation and a ranking) is carried out. As a result, the proposed method allows to classify the regions participating in the project "New Silk Road" by types of competitiveness and on this basis to form a strategy of business cooperation and prospective of economic development.

“…With the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, green initiatives have gained significant interest from scholars in various fields. The adoption of green initiatives K 50,9 has been extensively discussed in the current literature such as in transportation (Xia et al, 2017), manufacturing (Leong et al, 2019), supply chain management (Jabbour and Sousa Jabbour, 2016), construction (Cianciarullo, 2019) and consumerism (Chekima et al, 2016), among others. Likewise, it has also captured attention in the computing literature and is currently coined as green computing (or green IT) (Murugesan, 2008).…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new genetically evolved fuzzy cognitive mapping approach as a decision-making framework for analyzing the relationships between the drivers and strategies for green computing adoption. Design/methodology/approach A focus group discussion among stakeholders in the Philippines is used to establish the relationships between the drivers and strategies of green computing adoption. Findings The proposed approach significantly reduces the time complexity for developing the fuzzy cognitive maps and provides a basis for comprehensively clustering drivers and strategies that share similar characteristics. Research limitations/implications This paper’s results provide insights into how the drivers and strategies of green computing adoption facilitate the intention of adopting stakeholders. Moreover, it provides a framework for analyzing structural relationships that exist between factors in a compliant manner. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, the paper is the first to analyze the drivers and strategies of green computing under a complex systems’ perspective. Moreover, this is the first study to offer lenses in a Philippine scenario.
