Ninlawan C., Seksan P., Tossapol K., and Pilada W.
MARCH 2010

The research project is to investigate the current green activities in computer parts’ manufacturers in Thailand which include 11 selected manufacturers who provide in-depth interview about above framework. Firstly, green procurement which refers to the activity of purchasing friendly products and services that cause minimal adverse environmental impacts. The activity include supplier selection which only produces parts of 'Green Partners' that meet all requirements of environmental quality standards and pass the audit process. Second is green manufacturing that generically defined as 'elimination of waste by re-defining the existing production process or system with 3R in the procurement process means reuse, recycle and re-assembly. We found that green manufacturing resulted to activity of hazardous substance control, energy-efficient technology and 3Rs and waste minimization. Subsequently, green distribution comprising green packaging and green logistics or transportation. Packing characteristics including size, shape and material can affect the transportation where good packaging can reduce material consumption, increase the use of space in warehouses and trailers, and reduce the amount of handling required. Finally reverse technology that include the activities of final treatment, Landfill Company, disassembly recycle plants, waste collectors and used computer stores

Green Supply Chain Management, Environmental Collaboration and

Sustainability Performance

(2015) Thoo Ai Chin, Huam Hon Tat, Zuraidah Sulaiman

The concept of GSCM is to integrate environmental thinking into supply chain management (SCM). As such, GSCM is important in influencing the total environment impact of any organizations involved in supply chain activities. More importantly, GSCM can contribute to sustainability performance enhancement. The hypothesized model linking the relationship between GSCM practices, environmental collaboration and sustainability performance is depicted in Figure 1. The GSCM practices are conceptualized to include green procurement, green manufacturing, green distribution and green logistics. The sustainability performance is investigated from the perspectives of economic, environmental and social. The model is mainly grounded within the relational view to explain idiosyncratic inter-organizational linkages. The relational view theory was first articulated by Dyer and Singh to suggest that established long-term collaborative relationship characterized by strong inter

-organizational interactions could facilitate firms to pursue GSCM practices. In general, the relational view provides insight into how a firm develops value-creating linkages with other firms to achieve high profit returns. Undeniably, the collaborative supply chain relationships are invariably based on trust, loyalty, a positive sum game, fairness in negotiations, goal and intent revelation, and commitment.

The Relationship Between Green Supply Chain Management and Performance: A Meta-Analysis of Empirical Evidences in Asian Emerging Economies

Ruoqi Genga, S. Afshin Mansouri, Emel Aktasb

January 2017

Scholars on GSCM in the AEE have mainly focused on economic, operational and environmental performance. The first hypothesis is proposed: H1 the GSCM practices are positively correlated with the firm performance. For manufacturing firms in the AEE, gaining economic performance is the key to adopt GSCM practices. Moreover, three GSCM practices including product innovation, process innovation and managerial innovation and demonstrated their positive association with environmental performance. Most of the studies in the AEE have found a positive relationship between GSCM practices and operational performance Furthermore, GSCM practices can increase operational efficiency and enhance operational performance. In terms of social performance, Zailani et al. (2012b) analyzed data from 400 manufacturing firms in Malaysia and found that the adoption of green purchasing and green packaging have a positive effect on social performance. Given the above arguments, the following hypotheses are proposed considering the five GSCM practices defined in section 2.2.H2.The GSCM practices are positively correlated with the economic performance. H3. The GSCM practices are positively correlated with the environmental performance. H4. The GSCM practices are positively correlated with the operational performance. H5. The GSCM practices are positively correlated with the social performance.

A Hierarchical Framework of Barriers to Green Supply Chain Management in the Construction Sector

Sreejith Balasubramanian (September 2012)

The study show a classified sustainability framework for appraising the obstacles to the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) construction sector. A total of 32 barriers to the adoption of GSCM are identified through extensive literature review and expert interviews with academics and industry professionals. The barriers are grouped on the basis of literature and expert opinion to form 12 criteria. Since the nature of the identified criteria is complex and interdependent; an Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique is applied to develop a structural model. Driving and dependence power analysis (DDPA) is used to classify and identify the critical barriers.

Framework explained:

The models on above shows a hierarchical structure to weigh the obstacles to the implementation of GSCM in the UAE construction sector. The text can shows that a wide documentation of 32 fences between economic, eco-friendly, high-tech, societal and cultural characteristics to the implementation of GSCM in the UAE construction sector. They were logical ranked modelling of obstacles and their inter-relationship. Then, an inclusive arrangement of obstacles to know their criticality for decision making. Over the study, the paper known a issues external to the business such as lack of skilled sustainability professionals, lack of green suppliers & developers, lack of government support, lack of public awareness & demand and market uncertainty are the critical barriers to the implementation of GSCM in the UAE construction area. The internal barriers are reliant to the external barriers. The internal of these obstacle are lack of top management support and leadership, financial implications, lack of knowledge and experience, poor organizational culture, lack of GSCM practices in organization’s vision and mission. The burden is on state and federal governments in UAE to formulate GSCM scheme idea to overcome the external barriers. The approach strategy must importance on authorising societies to create supportable selections and reassuring them to contribute actively in the conceptualization, design and completing of GSCM strategies. Government should develop policies to attract skilled professionals, suppliers and developers to the region.

The Role of Guanxi in Green Supply Chain Management in Asia’s Emerging Economics: A Conceptual Framework

Ruoqi Geng a, S. Afshin Mansouri a, Emel Aktas b, Dorothy A. Yen a

17.01.2017

In this fast industrial, there are various malfunctions in China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea. They have ongoing to implement an environmental supply chain. Most countries with commodity economies (AEA) in the world of Asian emerging economies (EEA), by means of well as resources, part of the production processes and many other operations located in developing countries.

Framework explanations:

The first is stakeholder driver when in stakeholder theory they was identified four types of stakeholders whose actions can initiative the implementation of GSCM. These contain customers' requirements, suppliers' advances in GSCM applies, societies' attitudes, and other business opponents' movements. The Stakeholders' drivers have a positive impact on the adoption of GSCM practices in Phase 1. There are relational Guanxi in the supply chain perspective, when the relational Guanxi among a supplier's sales representatives and a buyer's procurement managers is often considered of great importance in determining the performance of the business relationship. Then, aggregated Guanxi tells how well linked a given organization is from the side of the Guanxi network. The association of stakeholder drivers with the implementation of GSCM applies will be moderated by aggregated Guanxi such as the association will be significantly stronger when a higher level of aggregated Guanxi is present in Phase 2 as the same stage of stakeholder driver. Next, Supplier barrier the barriers are the reasons that delay the acceptance of GSCM. Based on the studied papers, they was gathered in supply chain barriers into three types are lack of influence on sub-suppliers, the costs of adoption, and complexity of regulations. This explain a Supply chain barriers had a bad influence on the implementation of GSCM practices in Phase 3. The link between supply chain barriers and the adoption of GSCM practices will be weakened by relational Guanxi such the destructive association will become significantly weaker when a high level of relational Guanxi is present in Phase 4.
