“…We found evidence for our survey items from previous empirical studies in the field of GSCM and social capital. These included Villena et al [71], Wu et al [26], Ye et al [15], Dubey et al [11], and Lee [16]. For confirmatory factor analysis, we ensured that each construct has at least three items for each measurement [100,101].…”

This study investigates the impact of three institutional pressures, namely government, customer, and competitor pressures, on the environmental and operational performance of firms. These three institutional pressures are examined by implementing green supply chain management, considering the role of top management and studying social capital between buyers and suppliers in the supply chain. Data were collected through an electronic mail survey from buyer firms in the manufacturing industry in Korea. With 241 complete and usable responses, we used structural equation modeling to test our hypotheses. Our findings revealed that the majority of our hypotheses were supported, which is in line with the existing literature. However, the impact of coercive pressure on top management support and the impact of structural social capital on performance were found to be insignificant. The major contribution of our study is that it broadens the framework of green supply chain management (GSCM) by integrating major and recent constructs in the GSCM theory, while also providing instructive managerial implications through empirical evidence.

“…The study avoided the inclusion of the drivers of environmental concern and legislation because, China, being a developing country is only now awakening to the environmental and/or green movement (Tantawi et al, 2009;Tan and Lau, 2010). Specifically, literature suggests that despite China having 16 of the world's 20 most seriously polluted cities, Chinese consumers are not yet sensitive enough to environmental issues (Smyth, et al, 2008;Tantawi et al, 2009;Tan and Lau, 2010;Ye, et al, 2013). In fact, even in the more developed parts of China such as Hong Kong, people are just at the stage of green awakening.…”

“…In fact, even in the more developed parts of China such as Hong Kong, people are just at the stage of green awakening. Regulation is the strongest source of external influence on a firms' RL implementation plan (Daugherty et al, 2001;Lai and Wong, 2012;Ye, et al, 2013). However, while developed nations use legislation to make it mandatory for manufacturers to undertake the responsibility for the collection, treatment, and recycling of their end of life (EoL) products, China is reported to deliberately avoid the enforcement of such strict laws for the fear that it might negatively impact the survival of Chinese firms, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) .…”

“…Again this attraction corresponds to the acceleration observations of Newton's 2 nd Law of Motion. This is evidenced in the fact that despite the existence of similar environmental regulations in developed economies, in the case of China there is a lack of corresponding stringent enforcement of regulations by government Lai and Wong, 2012;Lai, et al, 2013;Abdulrahman et al, 2014) and insufficient levels of customers' green awareness (Smyth, et al, 2008;Tantawi et al, 2009;Tan and Lau, 2010;Ye et al, 2013).…”

Purpose: Carbon Efficient Practices (CEPs) are gaining momentum due to the serious consequences of climate change. While past studies have focused on the effects of either drivers or barriers to green practices especially in the context of developed countries, relatively little attention has been devoted to the simultaneous effects of drivers and barriers on product redesign, particularly in the context of China.Design/methodology/approach: Using a blend of the Contextual Interaction Theory and Newton's 2 nd Law of Motion, this paper proposes a conceptual model that simultaneously examines the impact of CEP drivers and barriers on product redesign and performance.

Abstract-Environmental technological innovation has becoming an important step towards sustainable development for emerging country like Malaysia, and market demand is an important determinant of environmental technological innovation. However, stakeholders have neglected demandbased perspective, while designing policies centered on technological (supply) side view. Extant research also constructs a direct mechanism for the market demand-ecoinnovation link. The research reported here, however, provides and investigates an indirect market demand-environmental technological innovation argument where market orientation is a mediator. The current study is motivated to produce this conceptual model for the benefit of policy makers and industry alike.
