“…MCDA has been nonetheless applied extensively to environmental management choices (e.g. Gregory et al 2012, Khalili and Duecker 2013, Hämäläinen et al 2010, Kiker et al 2005, Huang et al 2011. We would argue though that both the nature of the climate change policy decision problem and the societal responses to this differ significantly from those associated with most environmental issues.…”

(2014) There are growing calls for identifying climate mitigation and adaptation policypackages that would also support human development objectives at the national and regional levels. The literature on climate policy analysis and impact assessment continues to be driven by standard economics with its body of competitive general equilibrium optimization models and cost-benefit analysis techniques of aggregation and monetization. However, its recommendations for climate action are often based on highly restrictive underlying assumptions, which have been increasingly criticized for being too prescriptive, not adequately capturing salient observed socioeconomic realities, and not acknowledging pluralism in values.The main aim of this paper is to put forward a new methodological approach that seeks to address these deficiencies. A generic but comprehensive framework eliciting mitigationadaptation-development interactions, accounting for institutional barriers, and drawing on a combination of an emerging body of new climate economics and multi-criteria decision analysis is suggested. We purport that, by using this framework, multi-dimensional impacts and multistakeholder interests could be better represented when planning climate policy actions. We also argue that analytical tools drawing on economic thinking which embraces interdisciplinary analysis and deep uncertainty and avoids the fallacy of unique optimal solutions, may deliver more effective strategies for pushing economies onto the transformational pathways required.

Evolution of the Quality and Environmental Management Systems fields (adapted from Beecroft, 2004 andKhalili andDuecker, 2013) T h e T Q M J o u r n a l TQEM was developed in 1992/1993 by the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI), a group of then 21 companies formed in 1990, including IBM, AT&T and Kodak, to foster environmental excellence in businesses (GEMI, 2017;Love et al, 2000). In this context, TQEM was born from the GEMI's intention of applying TQM principles and approaches to corporate environmental strategies.…”

Methodology/design/approach -A survey-based exploratory study was conducted based on 119 Chinese manufacturing companies and the data obtained was analysed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings -The results revealed that in general, there is less awareness of TQEM in the Chinese manufacturing sector than other environmental and quality/operations improvement approaches such as green supply chain management, reverse logistics, ISO 9000, Six Sigma and lean six sigma. Thus, its degree of implementation is also lower than these approaches as well as ISO 14001. The results also indicate that although a company's size is not associated to the implementation of TQEM, it is mainly large organisations and those that have adopted TQM those which will be mainly aware and have implemented TQEM. The study also reveal the drivers, results and challenges of TQEM implementation. Originality/value -The paper extends the currently limited knowledge on TQEM, and its results are beneficial for managers who aim at effectively adopting TQEM to simultaneously improve the environmental, operational and financial performance of their organisations. The paper can also motivate organisations not currently embarked on the "green wagon" to contemplate the benefits that implementing TQEM, or any other environmental management approach, may bring to their operations and business.

Abstract:The current study attempts to link cleaner production and environmental management to sustainable product innovation and performance. Extant research only focused on financial performance while this study applied balanced scorecard (BSC) model for this purpose. As shown in the proposed framework of this study, cleaner production and environmental management can affect sustainable product innovation and thereby performance (financial, customer satisfaction, learning and growth, and internal process). It should be mentioned that the focal scope of this study is Iran.
