“…Small firms are generally less environmentally conscious than larger firms (Yook et al, 2018) due to lack of resources (both human and financial; Lee, Kim, & Choi, 2012;Zhu, Sarkis, & Lai, K.-h., 2008) and also because they are subject to less external pressure than their larger counterparts (Touboulic, Chicksand, & Walker, 2014). Many small firms act as suppliers to multinational enterprises, especially in the manufacturing industry (S. M. Lee et al, 2012;S.…”

“…Although limited access to resources makes small firms dependent on focusing on their core competences and core activities (Rangone, ; Wiklund & Shepherd, ), many corporate social responsibility proponents argue that outsourcing activities is not synonymous with outsourcing responsibility (Airike, Rotter, & Mark‐Herbert, ; Andersen & Skjoett‐Larsen, ; Hutchins & Sutherland, ). As a result, “a firm's aggregate environmental impact increasingly depends on the environmental impacts of the company's supply chain partners” (Yook, Choi, & Suresh, , p. 326). More specifically, “a firm's true environmental impact is affected by the purchasing capability of a buying firm” (Yook et al, , p. 327).…”

The core question addressed in the natural resource-based view (NRBV) of the firm is how to develop and exploit resources beneficial for both the natural environment and firm performance. Due to the resource constraints and increased competition facing small manufacturing firms, achieving this is a challenge for such companies. Building on the NRBV and resource orchestration literatures, we examine the relationship between green purchasing capabilities (GPCs), CEO's environmental orientation (EO), and firm growth. Results from 304 Swedish small manufacturing firms indicate a significant relationship between GPC and growth, and this relationship is positively moderated by the EO of the CEO.

“…Ecological purchases appeared as a result of global awareness regarding the growing number of environmental problems, determining the managers to consider them along with the social, ethical, and economic ones (Yook et al, 2018). It is well known that tourist activities have a strong impact on the environment, contributing to its degradation (e.g., destruction of biodiversity), also to the increase of greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions (Pang et al, 2013).…”

Lately, there has been an intensification of the concern for environmental protection and development of an ecological attitude and behaviour among the operators in tourism industry. Consequently, ecological purchases have become important components in establishing hotel environmental strategies and in the customers' consumption behaviour. Most of the researchers present this very attitude of the customers regarding the green products and their intention to buy them. The present research approaches ecological purchases from the hotel managers' perspective, by analysing the relationships among them, and the environmental attitude, environmental problems, and the benefits motivating the managers to make ecological purchases in 92 hotels in Romania. In this research we used the frequency analysis, scale reliability, and multiple linear regression analysis (the method of the least squares). The data were analysed with the help of STATA program, and the results support the research hypotheses, showing that the influence of the environmental attitude and of the economic benefits on ecological purchases is important. The results show a significant and positive relationship among the ecological purchases, the environmental attitude, and the associated benefits. In addition, the study identifies a negative relationship between the ecological purchases and the environmental concern. Furthermore, hotel classification has a negative influence on the ecological purchases made by their managers. The implications, limits, and future lines of research are also mentioned in this study.

Due to increasing concerns about environmental protection, the environmental sustainability of businesses has been widely considered in the manufacturing and supply chain context. Further, its adoption has been implemented in the retail industry for marketing field, including green product promotion. This study aimed to propose a customer purchasing behavior analysis as an alternative for supporting decision-making in order to promote green products in retail stores. Hence, right-on-target marketing strategies can be implemented appropriately. The study was carried out using shopping path data collected by radio frequency identification (RFID) from a large retail store in Seoul, South Korea. In addition, the store layout and its traffic were also analyzed. This method is expected to help experts providing appropriate decision alternatives. In addition, it can help retailers in order to increase product sales and achieve high levels of customer satisfaction.
