“…CC is a practice that has improved the environmental and economic performance of organizations [14,31,50]. GP, or collaboration with suppliers for greening in all related activities, was found to have a positive effect on both dimensions of performance [49,50,61,87]. Despite certain hurdles, IR is also associated with improved environmental performance [50].…”

The adoption of green practices within and outside organizational boundaries is imperative to ascertain environmental and economic performance goals. This article examined whether internal and external green supply chain management (GSCM) practices have the same or different kinds of regulatory, market, or competitive pressures. We employed institutional theory to identify different kinds of pressures, and resource dependence theory to explore the impact of internal and external GSCM practices on performance. An empirical study was conducted by collecting data through a structured questionnaire administered in Pakistan to the executives in the manufacturing industry. A total of 207 responses were used for data analysis by employing the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Normative pressures were found to be the most significant in both internal and external GSCM practices, while coercive and mimetic pressures positively affected internal and external GSCM practices, respectively. Internal GSCM practices proved to be more significant in improving environmental performance, and also had a substantial impact on external GSCM practices. In contrast, External GSCM practices had a significant positive effect on economic performance, while environmental performance also contributed to improving economic performance. The theoretical and managerial implications are discussed for academics, policymakers, and industry practitioners.

“…For example, Qing and Cong [60] identified some institutional factors, such as the Chinese economic institution, the managerial mode, the social credit system and the undeveloped logistics infrastructure base, etc. Huo et al [61] examined the impact of the three aspects of institutional pressures-normative, mimetic and coercive-on supplier integration and financial performance. From an institutional point of view and in terms of the specific environment of China, Su et al [62] empirically examined the SCM of Chinese firms, suggesting that three aspects-the economic institutions of China and the world, the history and cultural environment of China, and organization and management institutions of Chinese firms-should be paid particular attention.…”

Supply chain finance (SCF) is concerned with the capital flows within a supply chain, an area often neglected in past decades, while SCF does have an impact on a firm's capability to adopt sustainable supply chain management (SCM) practices. The aim of this study is to explore new insight from a growing body of research which is investigating SCF issues in China, an evolving transition economy. A content analysis on a review of 151 Chinese-written SCF papers from 2004-2014, based on a sample of 45 leading Chinese journals (Chinese Social Science Citation Index, CSSCI) was conducted from three perspectives: topical coverage, theoretical application and methodological inquiry. The study reveals that the research stream of SCF in China has emerged and evolved to a considerable extent. However, the SCF phenomenon in China is not exactly the same as "SCF" as it is perceived in the mature economy, which is articulated in mainstream SCM English literature. The Chinese business context in which SCF has been implemented has played a dominant role in initiating, affecting and even shaping SCF. This study represents the first endeavor in the field of SCM. It diffuses the Chinese-written SCF research in mainstream SCM English literature.

“…Besides resourse and capability limitation, many studies indicated that government intervention was a driven force behind SMEs' product innovation performance in China (Li, 1998;Wang and Yao, 2002;Xie and White, 2006;Huo et al, 2013). Cheung (2011) stated the role of Chinese SMEs has been expanding in the changing socio-political environment.…”

Many researchers equate the development of Chinese product innovation capabilities to Japanese and South Korean's development paths, that is, from imitation to innovation. Nonetheless, today many Chinese products have competed successfully in the global markets in terms of speed, cost, quality, and innovativeness. China's product innovation performance has gained the world's recognition. The performance of some industrial areas have also outperformed Japan and South Korea. This paper aims to understand and identify the unique phases of Chinese innovation. We collected empirical data from field studies and interviews with managers of ten small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Suzhou province of China. The research shows three unique Chinese innovation phases that are distinctive from the Japanese and South Korean.The results provided interesting insights into how Chinese SMEs in different industries cultivated their skills and knowledge under the three unique phases. We believe the findings contribute towards a better understanding of Chinese innovation in the context of China's evolving institutions and growing firm capabilities. Moreover, findings from this research help to shed light on existing debates for the unique Chinese innovation pathways.
