Green Supply Chain Practices: a comprehensive and theoretically multidimensional framework for categorization

Abstract

Paper aims:The main objective of this work is to integrate a typology of green supply chain management practices with organizational theories. Originality:We provide a comprehensive typology of GSCM practices based on empirical evidence and conceptual arguments.Research method: Through a systematic review we identified 435 GSCM's practices that were organized into categories according to their theoretical conception, organizational context and characteristics. Main findings:We identified three organizational context dimensions (innovation, performance and management) and proposed a conceptual model of theory-practice-context congruence, to guide the selection of theories for the design of research and analyses of GSCM practices.Implications for theory and practice: Our main contribution is the alignment of each category of practices and organizational dimension with the selected theoretical lenses that can help future investigations to deepen the analysis of GSCM practices. Besides the theoretical contributions, we believe this contribution can also achieve practitioners.

Investigating Performance Outcomes under Institutional Pressures and Environmental Orientation Motivated Green Supply Chain Management Practices

“…The study stated that the response is heterogeneous to various institutional pressures, whereas some found that organizational pressure might cause adopting green practices. There are many previous studies in support of our view that institutional pressure positively affects companies in adopting GSCMPs, coercive pressures [15,17,39], normative pressures [46,47], and mimetic pressures, [48,49].…”

Algunas de estas prácticas son, el diseño ecológico [50]; compras verdes [51]; logística inversa [52] y gestión ambiental interna [53].…”

Sustainability and profitability of Malaysia crude palm oil supply chain management: system dynamics modelling approach

“…Al-Odeh and Smallwood checked out the studies on sustainable SCM in the latest decade by analyzing them from various perspectives (Al-Odeh and Smallwood, 2012). Assumpção urges company efforts to incorporate green practices into the slim-SCM to respond to environmental issues (Assumpção et al , 2019). Even though there have been numerous research studies on palm oil, only a few have looked into SCM’s viability and sustainability in Malaysia.…”
