“…Sarkis et al [26] notes the importance of external drivers such as regulatory, competitive, customer, and stakeholder pressure in explaining supply chain management decisions. Simpson [27] finds that external factors, specifically customer pressure and regulatory pressure, influence adoption of waste reduction practices. Heterogeneity in organizational response to institutional pressures could be due to internal forces within the firm that cause inertia or cultural barriers to change [25] and in managerial attitudes and commitment towards environmental responsibility [28].…”

This paper examines the extent to which there are differential incentives that motivate the adoption of environmental management practices (EMPs) and pollution prevention (P2) methods. We analyze the role of internal drivers such as managerial attitudes towards the environment and external pressures using both observed characteristics of facilities and perceived pressures. We estimate a structural equation model using survey data from facilities in Oregon that involves simultaneous estimation of the latent dependent and explanatory variables and the two regression equations explaining adoption behavior of EMPs and P2. We find that perceived regulatory pressures and managerial attitudes have a statistically significant impact on the adoption of both EMPs and P2 practices, while market pressures were significant in influencing the adoption of EMPs but not P2 methods. Furthermore; we find that both external regulatory pressures and internal managerial attitudes had a larger impact in motivating adoption by facilities that did not view environmental issues as being a significant concern as compared to facilities that did.

“…Many studies have used institutional factors to explore different dimensions of firms (Arndt, ; Oliver, ; Homburg et al, ; Grewal and Dharwadkar, ; Davidsson et al, ; Auh and Menguc, ; Peng et al, ; Simpson, ; Gaur et al, ; Shou et al, ; Chittoor et al, ; Hong et al, ). Although some studies have shown the direct and positive effect of the institutional factors on organizations’ performance (Peng and Luo, ; Li and Zhang, ; Zhang and Li, ), some have considered this effect and relationship under several conditions (Siegel, ; Li et al, ; Okhmatovskiy, ; Sheng et al, ).…”

“…() employed a combination of the RBV and institutional theory to show that firms can use unique institutional advantages to change export strategies. Simpson () also examined firms’ performance using integrated approach of the RBV and institutional theory. He examined resources such as equipment and personnel and institutional pressures such as customer pressures, laws and regulations, and cost pressures in firms.…”

Many countries have tried to establish free zones in order to strengthen the competitive advantage of their local companies in global competition. Judging the role of free zones in the performance of companies without analyzing the relevant institutional factors can be confusing, especially in countries like Iran where the government extensively intervenes in the economy. In such economies, institutional factors (institutional support, political relationship, and legitimacy) coupled with resources (financial, human and physical resources) can be more effective at addressing companies' performance. Using the resource-based view (RBV) and institutional theory, this paper surveyed 151 companies located in the Anzali Free Trade and Industrial Zone (AFTIZ). The results show that the resources have a positive impact on the firms' competitive advantage and performance. While institutional factors strengthen the resources, they do not moderate the relationship among resources, competitive advantage, and performance.

“…In Muduli et al [38] different barriers are considered, for example, information gap, insufficient society pressure, and poor legislation. Simpson [39] analyzed the environmental performance improvements due to waste reduction and Mavi et al [40] applied a methodology to evaluate the green suppliers.…”

[1] Hassini et al. [2] defined GSCM as the management of supply chain operations, resources, information, and funds in order to maximize the supply chain profitability while at the same time minimizing the environmental impacts and maximizing the social well-being. J S C I R E S R E V I E W A R T I C L E ABSTRACTThe field of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has recently gained considerable attention from both academics and practitioners. This has caused an exponential growth in the number of publications related to different aspects of sustainability in the supply chain. This study aims to show information processing and management techniques, to reveal the evolution of a field over time and identify directions for future research. In particular, this paper is intended to provide a systematic literature review using citation network and the analysis of words in titles and author keyword through burst detection algorithm. Crossing the results of the citation network and burst detection algorithm it was possible to monitor the evolution of the sustainability drivers and to identify the necessity of new key performance indicators of sustainability, able to integrate the economic, environmental and social dimensions, internally within the organization, and externally among the supply chain partners. The contribution of this study lies in the adoption of a blind methodology to analyze theory development which have not been yet applied to the field of GSCM but proved to be useful and promising.
