Moreover, several researchers [7]- [9] considered the adoption ability of GMP as a firm-level organizational capability that can lead to competitive advantage.…”

“…Since ethical business behaviors and practices are culturally and institutionally determined, green issues can be perceived differently in emerging economies where several unethical practices are easily tolerated by firms and local and government institutions [4], [12]. In developed countries, the focus is on environmental management and sustainability while rapid growth and profitability are paramount in emerging economies.…”

“…Menguc, Auh and Ozanne [23] suggest that government policies and regulations may play important roles in determining the degree to which firms may adopt GMP. Prior studies found that the government policies, laws and regulations that encouraged or even compelled firms to adopt GMP changed the behavior of firms in favor of green related implementations [4], [24]. The encouragements and impositions may occur in different forms such as penalties for pollution and toxic wastage and/or supportive policies (e.g., financial support, technical assistance, and green-related manpower training) that offer economic incentives.…”

“…The questionnaire was consisted of a total number of 30 questions: 10 questions to measure the effects of government policies [24], [30], 12 questions for implementation leadership [37], 6 questions for GMP adoption [4], and 2 questions for the demographics (age and size). And the last question aimed to categorize the primary business activity of the firms.…”

Abstract-This study aims to investigate the effects of government practices and leadership activities on the way of implementing green management practices in firms. In order to address this aim, a survey was conducted on a sample of 153 firms which operate in the chemical and petrochemical industries in Turkey. The findings revealed that leadership activities contributed more than government policies on the adoption of green management practices of the firms. However, the combined effect of the government policies and leadership activities was the greatest on the adoption of green management practices.

“…The results show that path-dependent learning is the top priority and manufactures should consider opportunity-sensing capability and integrative capability simultaneously in the operational process. Yang et al (2015) Drawing on data from 272 Chinese firms, this study finds that strategic flexibility has a positive effect on the adoption of green management practices. Provides important implications for explaining how firms in emerging economies combine internal strategic flexibility and external institutional support to implement them.…”

We performed a systematic literature review to explore and understand how the 23‐year long debate about dynamic capabilities has addressed sustainability issues. Based on this, we propose a unifying framework that distinguishes different facets of dynamic capabilities for sustainability (DCsS) based on the different types of performance they are more suitable to predict. The theoretical contribution is twofold. First, we add to the literature by highlighting the dependence of different forms of DCsS on different levels of the centrality of sustainability outcomes in corporate strategies. Second, we shed light on the operationalizations of DCsS by providing guidance on the adoption of pertinent constructs and measurement models. The review concludes with a discussion of the managerial implications of the proposed conceptual framework to help decision makers better understand, which strategic moves to make to achieve their intended sustainability goals.
