This article explores the issue of managing green procurement at the level of small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries. Green procurement remains a relatively new trend for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Therefore, a thorough analysis of this issue is a topic theme. In this perspective, the following hypotheses are highlighted: green procurement affects the competitiveness of an enterprise, its economic indicators, the environment and society. The data collected from SMEs in Kyiv and Kyiv region. As a result, we analysed the questionnaires provided by the managers of 181 companies operating in different industries and different forms of ownership. Factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the scales used in the study, and hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. The results show that green procurement has a positive impact on competitiveness, economic performance of SMEs, the environment and society. Therefore, small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries should pay attention to the development and implementation of green supplies, as this will have a positive impact on their performance. The research conducted can serve as a benchmark for conducting similar studies on other enterprises.

This study aims to examine the influence of green supply chain management practices (GScMP) and manufacturing capabilities on organizational performances. A quantitative method was used with the data obtained from the sample of 103 large manufacturing firms listed in the Federation of Malaysia Manufacturers (FMM). Smart-PLS 3.0 software was employed to confirm the data validity and reliability, and test the structural path modeling. This implies that GScMP with manufacturing capabilities as the mediator is important to foster the organizational performance among manufacturing firms. A total of 103 manufacturing companies in Malaysia participated in this study with a response rate of 18%. It shows that only eight sub-hypotheses out of thirteen sub-hypotheses were supported, and the remaining five sub-hypotheses were not supported. The conclusion of this study provides the theoretical and practical implications as well as suggestions for future studies in different industries such as service, tourism and information technology.

“…Also Krugman (1994) describes business competitiveness by defining firm unsuppliers, and bondholders, it will go out of business. So when we say that a corporation is uncompetitive, we mean that its market position in unsustainable that competitiveness can (only) be identified by comparison with other players (Jiang et al, 2016;Tan et al, 2016). Companies have to develop the ability to act and react in a competitive environment (Feurer and Chaharbaghi, 1994) because they must be aware that their core/specific competencies and resources are no longer enough to be competitive (Wu, 2008); they have to seek new or complementary resources and develop new capabilities in order achieve competitiveness (Lin and Wu, 2014).…”

Business sustainable competitiveness is a very complex concept. This complexity generates a variety of possibilities to define, to measure and to test it. The purpose of the paper is to develop the concept of businessness (for business sustainable competitiveness) by leveraging productivity, profitability, effectiveness and sustainability, at firm level. The interrelations between them, in terms of revenues per employee, return on assets, total assets turnover and Dow Jones Sustainability Index, were integrated into models/functions in order to develop, test and apply businessness. The article is about proposing functions (by using multiple discriminant analysis) in order to measure business sustainable competitiveness (businessness). The hypotheses and functions were tested using a sample of 500 companies (2000 observations) from Global Fortune 500. The results showed that there are direct and positive interrelations between the following items: number of employees, revenues, net income and total assets, but with different degree of correlations between groups. Therefore, it is very important to consider industry/group when conducting an analysis on business sustainable competitiveness.
