“…Although our findings reveal that managers view economic and operational drivers as significant factors in implementing SSCM practices, some managers acknowledged that their companies have embraced SSCM to mitigate and manage business risk that relates to social and environmental supply chain activities (Table ). The findings indicated that the governance of risk is no longer simply perceived as an intraorganizational issue but rather a supply chain sustainability issue, which makes companies vulnerable to reputational risk (Golini, Moretto, Caniato, Caridi, & Kalchschmidt, ; Hajmohammad & Vachon, ; Hofmann et al, ; Mzembe, Lindgreen, Maon, & Vanhamme, ) and has a negative impact on performance (Buddress, ; Chen, Wang, Yao, Li, & Yang, ; Foerstl, Reuter, Hartmann, & Blome, ).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that drive or prevent companies' implementation of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices. To this end, we interviewed 29 senior managers from 23 New Zealand-based companies.The key reported drivers were customer expectation, top management commitment, moral and ethical values of managers, reputation management, and economic and operational benefits. Conversely, cost concerns, strategic and structural restraints, supplier and customer issues, and a lack of effective regulations were cited as critical obstacles to SSCM implementation. Thus, the evidence from our findings provides support for both instrumental and normative logics for SSCM implementation. The findings further indicate that, in general, instrumental and normative logics are congruent; however, varied tensions arise when managers seek to simultaneously address competing yet desirable SSCM aspects. Accordingly, we argue that it is imperative to understand, work through, and manage such tensions as balancing divergent sustainability aspects holds considerable potential for successful SSCM implementation.

“…Existing studies have explored the impact of environmental pressure on enterprises in the supply chain and have found that the proactive environmental strategies of enterprises can obtain trust in the supply chain [49]. On the one hand, green suppliers can restrict the pollution behavior of downstream enterprises through the assessment [50], reputation [51], and network mechanisms [52] of both sides and then require the purchaser enterprises to improve their environmental strategies. On the other hand, buyers can also exert pressure through collective boycotts or lawsuits to affect environmental strategies [53,54].…”

Stakeholder pressures and corporate environmental strategies continue to be important topics of corporate sustainability. Limited by sample size, there is a lack of general conclusions on which groups of stakeholder pressures are the main drivers of environmental strategies. Amassing a database of 58 empirical studies, the authors divided stakeholder pressures into four groups—internal, coercive, market, and social pressure—and explored the relationship between different pressures and environmental strategies by conducting a meta-analysis. The main result shows that internal pressure is the main driver of environmental strategies. Further empirical results show that stakeholder pressures could have a larger effect on corporate environmental strategies in developed countries and that non-manufacturing firms could change their environmental strategies more easily than manufacturing firms. The results provide the practical implication that a green industry transition is strongly needed in the manufacturing industry, especially for polluting industries, and that firms in polluting industries should implement environmental strategy changes in the future. This paper contributes to clarifying the relationship between stakeholder pressures and corporate environmental strategies based on a meta-analysis.

“…To manage these tricky problems, some techniques have been used along with the AHP to minimize the associated uncertainty and the inconsistency, such as using the inter connections [25], frequency ratio [26][27][28], sensitivity and uncertainty analysis [29], interval calculations [24], modified analytical hierarchy process [30], weights-of-evidence bivariate statistical model [31]. However, many researchers integrate fuzzy theory with AHP to deal with the associated uncertainty within the comparisons [32][33][34][35][36][37]. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is a more precise technique as compared to AHP.…”

Driver behavior has been considered as the most critical and uncertain criteria in the study of traffic safety issues. Driver behavior identification and categorization by using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) can overcome the uncertainty of driver behavior by capturing the ambiguity of driver thinking style. The main goal of this paper is to examine the significant driver behavior criteria that influence traffic safety for different traffic cultures such as Hungary, Turkey, Pakistan and China. The study utilized the FAHP framework to compare and quantify the driver behavior criteria designed on a three-level hierarchical structure. The FAHP procedure computed the weight factors and ranked the significant driver behavior criteria based on pairwise comparisons (PCs) of driver’s responses on the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ). The study results observed “violations” as the most significant driver behavior criteria for level 1 by all nominated regions except Hungary. While for level 2, “aggressive violations” is observed as the most significant driver behavior criteria by all regions except Turkey. Moreover, for level 3, Hungary and Turkey drivers evaluated the “drive with alcohol use” as the most significant driver behavior criteria. While Pakistan and China drivers evaluated the “fail to yield pedestrian” as the most significant driver behavior criteria. Finally, Kendall’s agreement test was performed to measure the agreement degree between observed groups for each level in a hierarchical structure. The methodology applied can be easily transferable to other study areas and our results in this study can be helpful for the drivers of each region to focus on highlighted significant driver behavior criteria to reduce fatal and seriously injured traffic accidents.
