“…The review showed that the more recent empirical academic literature has not focused on analyzing the effect that QM has on corporate sustainability in general and on EM practices in particular. Two types of studies were identified, according to their main outcomes: those establishing a negative relationship between QM and EM (see Table 3), which are in the minority (e.g., [69][70][71][72]), and those reporting positive results (see Table 4), stating that QM is closely related to the promotion of EM, and innovation in EM in particular (e.g., [24][25][26][27][28]35,36,42,[73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80]). Other authors, such as Steiber and Alänge [73], point out that while some aspects of QM could actually bring benefits to EM (e.g., environmental innovation), the question of whether QM as a whole does so is not very clear.…”

Quality and Environmental Management Linkage: A Review of the Literature

et al. 2018

This article presents a conceptual and empirical review of the literature related to the link between the different perspectives, models, and tools associated with Quality Management and Environmental Management. Several academic works identified in the literature that aimed to establish conceptual similarities between QM and EM are reviewed and discussed. In general, terms, the scholarly literature suggests that the main quality practices and programs associated with the Quality Management paradigm-such as ISO 9001 and Total Quality Management-facilitate the adoption of environmental practices associated with corporate Environmental Management. However, there is evidence of certain limitations driven by different biases, whether or not they are recognized in the reviewed publications. The concentration on some avenues of research focused on very detailed aspects of the linkage between QM and EM is discussed. Conversely, lines that have been overlooked and are in need for more research were also identified. The implications for scholars, such as suggestions for further research, are included as a contribution of the article.

“…Standards may also positively contribute to the innovation performance of firms (Manders 2016;Pekovic and Galia 2009;Ratnasingam et al 2013;Sadikoglu and Zehir 2010), and consequently productivity. This may be the case when, in preparation to obtain a certificate, firms upgrade their existing capital stock and invest in new-vintage machinery and equipment (e.g.…”

Using a rich panel dataset of SMEs active in the manufacturing sector in Viet Nam, this paper investigates the drivers of firm productivity, focusing on the role played by international management standards certification. We develop and test the hypothesis that, controlling for technological innovation (product and process) and other variables related to technological capabilities, international standards are still conducive to higher productivity, through improved management practices associated with their adoption. In line with the requirement of continuous improvement implied by most international standards, the main findings show that the possession of an internationally recognized standard certificate leads to significant productivity premium. We further investigate the relationship between technological innovation and standard adoption. We find that the likelihood of certificate adoption is higher when firms implement technological innovations and that the effect of certification on productivity is particularly strong for firms with technological innovation.

“…Some scholars have associated certifications, in particular those related to ISO 9001, with larger reductions in product costs (Corbett, Montes-Sancho, and Kirsck, 2005); better financial performance (Sharma, 2005); and higher rates of corporate survival as well as increasing sales, employment, and wages (Levine and Toffel, 2010). Moreover, literature has shown that certification increases revenues because quality certification allows firms to access new markets and customers (Singh, Power, and Chuong, 2011), has positive impacts on innovative behavior (Manders, de Vries, and Blind, 2016), or improves the capabilities of human capital (Lo, Wiengarten, Humphreys, et al, 2013). Contrary to these positive impacts, other studies for developed economies found that QMS certifications do not necessarily increase financial performance.…”
