“…It mainly focuses on the long-term goals, such as constructing the potential and capability of suppliers [3]. The collaboration approach includes a wide range of activities, which provide training and educational programs, information and experience networking sessions in addition to technical and financial assistance to help apply many different green management policies and acquire related environmental certifications [3,12,25,26]. Overall, GSCM has a great prospect in majorly contributing to the firm's competitive advantage in addition to both financial and non-financial performance [27].…”

“…However, up until now, there is a scarce body of literature that studies GSCM and social capital together. Wu et al [26] has recently considered social capital as a driver of GSCM practices. However, our study aims to examine whether GSCM itself can help the accumulation of social capital and we judge that there are proper logics to support our idea.…”

The Impact of Institutional Pressures on Green Supply Chain Management and Firm Performance: Top Management Roles and Social Capital

et al. 2017

This study investigates the impact of three institutional pressures, namely government, customer, and competitor pressures, on the environmental and operational performance of firms. These three institutional pressures are examined by implementing green supply chain management, considering the role of top management and studying social capital between buyers and suppliers in the supply chain. Data were collected through an electronic mail survey from buyer firms in the manufacturing industry in Korea. With 241 complete and usable responses, we used structural equation modeling to test our hypotheses. Our findings revealed that the majority of our hypotheses were supported, which is in line with the existing literature. However, the impact of coercive pressure on top management support and the impact of structural social capital on performance were found to be insignificant. The major contribution of our study is that it broadens the framework of green supply chain management (GSCM) by integrating major and recent constructs in the GSCM theory, while also providing instructive managerial implications through empirical evidence.

“…As indicated by OC, large and medium firms will be more capable of integrating leading customers into their environmental activities, because customers are more willing to do business with large firms [24,25]. On the other hand, small firms may be unable to convince leading customers to involve themselves in their environmental activities due to their low brand awareness [26,27].…”

“…These capabilities include general routines that enhance inter-functional coordination, as well as firm-specific processes that aid in facilitating communication [4,17]. It is easier for large firms to internalize and transfer what they have learnt from customers [24,25], while small firms may lack the resources, skills and capabilities that facilitate the effective transmission of green information and knowledge gained from green customer integration [29,30]. Moreover, small firms are less likely to hire experienced specialists who directly manage environmental issues and green customer integration activities, and are less likely to invest in and develop skills in managing inter-organizational partnerships [27].…”

The Influence of Green External Integration on Firm Performance: Does Firm Size Matter?

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Although the importance of green external integration has been widely recognized, our understanding of how firm size influences its link with firm performance is still limited. This study develops a conceptual framework in which firm size is proposed to moderate the relationships between green external integration, the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products and firm performance. We examine this model using data collected from 176 Chinese manufacturing companies. The results reveal that firm size moderates the relationship between green customer integration and business performance, the relationship between green supplier integration and operational performance, and the relationship between the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products and business performance. In addition, green customer and supplier integration improve both operational and business performance entirely by decreasing the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products for large firms, while green customer integration enhances operational performance entirely by shortening the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products for small and medium firms. These findings have important implications for research and practice in the fields of green supply chain integration and green innovation.

“…Segundo Wu et al (2012), é pela GSCM que os membros compartilham estratégias, informações e cooperam para o atingimento de metas comuns que dizem respeito a meio-ambiente e proteção ambiental. Srivastava (2007) completa: além de práticas ambientais, ações socioambientais podem ser incluídas no GSCM.…”

et al. 2013

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os resultados relativos à implantação de um processo de esverdeamento das atividades de compra, abastecimento e uso de adesivo em uma empresa da indústria calçadista. Tal processo foi chamado de esverdeamento da operação. O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de um caso. Foram estudadas as modificações implantadas nas condições de uso e aplicação de adesivos, envolvendo uma empresa focal e um fornecedor da indústria calçadista. Observou-se que os principais motivadores para ações de esverdeamento de operações foram pressões sociais de consumidores e legais de órgãos de fiscalização e a possibilidade de vantagem competitiva por redução de custos na operação industrial. Foram observados expressivos ganhos econômicos, sociais e ambientais no esverdeamento. Os principais ganhos foram: redução de 85% no número de pessoas expostas ao produto, com alto potencial gerador de dependência química; redução no uso de cerca de 3.700 embalagens metálicas por ano; e redução na emissão de solventes volatilizados na atmosfera em aproximadamente 5.200 quilogramas por mês.Palavras-Chave: Gestão Verde da Cadeia de Suprimentos, Cadeia de Suprimentos, Compras Verdes, Gestão Ambiental, Sustentabilidade. Abstracts:The purpose of this article is to analyse the results of the process of greening the operations of purchasing, supply and use of adhesives in the footwear industry. This process was called greening. The research method was the case study. The changes were implemented in the conditions of use and application of adhesives, involving a focal and supplier company in the footwear industry. It was observed that the main motivators for greening industrial operations were social and legal pressures from consumers and supervisory official organisms and the possibility of competitive advantage by reducing costs in industrial operations. Significant economic, social and environmental gains were observed. The main gains were: reduction of 85% of the people exposed to the product, with high potential chemical dependency generator; reduction in the use of approximately 3,700 cans per year; and reduction in the emission of solvents volatilized into the air at approximately 5,200 kilograms per month.
