Turning green subsidies into sustainability: How green process innovation improves firms' green image

Green process innovation has been seen as a key strategy for manufacturing firms to pursue sustainable development. Yet, how to help manufacturing firms eliminate bottlenecks when implementing green process innovation remains poorly understood. To address this issue, the current study, which is anchored in the government incentive perspective, examines the drivers, contingent conditions, and consequences of green process innovation by using the panel data of manufacturing‐listed firms in China from 2013 to 2017. The results present valuable findings: (a) green subsidies are positively related to two dimensions of green process innovation, namely, cleaner production technology and end‐of‐pipe technology; (b) both cleaner production technology and end‐of‐pipe technology are positively related to firms' green image; (c) a firm's cleaner production technology mediates the relationship between green subsidies and its green image; and (d) higher absorptive capacity strengthens the indirect effect of green subsidies on a firm's green image via cleaner production technology. Our results provide meaningful theoretical and practical implications by revealing the benefits of green subsidies through green process innovation by leveraging levels of absorptive capacity.

Environmental Sustainability and Energy-Efficient Supply Chain Management: A Review of Research Trends and Proposed Guidelines

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper conducts a structured review on the topic of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in the supply chain management context to define research trends on the topic and identify research gaps. The review is carried out using the largest databases of peer-reviewed literature (Scopus and Web of Science). A sample of 122 papers focusing on the topic of energy-efficient and sustainable supply chain management was selected and analyzed through descriptive and content analysis. The review highlights that despite there is a growing research trend on the topic, different research gaps remain to be covered. These gaps concern the factors influencing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives, the classification of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives, the impact of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability on supply chain performance, the customer perspective in sustainable and energy-efficient supply chain, and the different technologies supporting the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives. The research gaps and the research questions identified offer the opportunity to identify areas of investigation to design future research directions and propose guidelines in the field of supply chain management.

Considering strategic targets and fierce competition, high‐efficiency supply chain management (SCM) and selection strategy has a significant impact on the automotive manufacturing industry to improve its competitive advantage and economic benefit. However, the selection process of supply chain is often inevitably affected by multiperspective factors, e.g., societal and economic properties. Thus, multicriteria decision‐making as an effective method is needed. This article establishes a systematic hierarchical structure of multiperspective indices for SCM of automotive manufacturing industry including economic, environmental, societal, and technical properties. An integrated method that combines gray relational analysis and analytic hierarchy process is applied to select the optimal pattern of supply chain. An empirical case about three types of supply chain for automotive manufacturing industry is applied to test the effectiveness of multicriteria decision‐making method and the hierarchical structure. In addition, a comparison with other methods and a sensitivity analysis are conducted to validate the reliability of this research. The results show this method can be effectively used in the decision‐making process of SCM in the automotive manufacturing industry. © 2019 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
