Barriers to green innovation initiatives among manufacturers: the Malaysian case

Managerial perspectives on drivers for and barriers to sustainable supply chain management implementation: Evidence from New Zealand

“…Dubey, Gunasekaran, Childe, et al (, p. 337) pointed out that although “the triple bottom line concept of SSCM is widely acknowledged, most studies fail to consider all three pillars.” Dubey, Gunasekaran, Childe, et al () conducted an extensive review of SSCM literature, and their findings revealed that the majority of SSCM studies focused on the environmental and economic dimensions, whereas social issues were mostly neglected. For instance, scholars have examined drivers, barriers, and performance outcomes of green supply chain management (Luthra, Garg, & Haleem, ; Scur & Barbosa, ), green manufacturing (Ghazilla et al, ), and green innovations (Abdullah, Zailani, Iranmanesh, & Jayaraman, ). In a similar vein, other studies have explored environmental issues in purchasing and supply management such as green purchasing (Kaur, Sidhu, Awasthi, Chauhan, & Goyal, ), green supply management (Lintukangas, Kähkönen, & Tuppura, ), and green supplier development (Busse, Schleper, Niu, & Wagner, ), thus providing detailed insights about environmental and economic supply chain issues but neglecting a holistic focus on all SSCM dimensions (Panigrahi et al, ).…”

Drivers and barriers in green supply chain management adaptation: A state-of-art review

“…Muduli and Barve (2013) studied in Indian mining industries that information gap, lack of social concern, poor legislation and capacity constraint are identified as barriers. Abdullah et al (2015) did a survey of 153 manufacturing companies in Malaysia and found that environmental resources issue, approach and awareness, government support, and demand from customer are the main barriers. This study gives an idea that attitude and perception, poor external partnerships, lack of customer demand, business practices, insufficient information and environmental commercial benefits are affecting green innovation.…”

Research on Pricing and Coordination Strategy of a Sustainable Green Supply Chain with a Capital-Constrained Retailer

“…Xia and He [22] noted that sharing the carbon emission reduction costs was an effective measure to promote the implementation of green supply chains. Abdullah et al [23] found that the obstacles encountered in the implementation of green products, green processes, and green systems were different based on an empirical study on green innovation activities concerning more than 100 manufacturing enterprises in Malaysia. Zhang et al [24] compared and analysed the price strategy and green innovation strategy of the manufacturer under the green supply chain framework.…”
