Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the complex interrelationships among environmental drivers, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) approaches and performance. Design/methodology/approach – A survey was sent to a sample of managers in the field of Purchasing and Supply Management in Spanish firms. Data were analysed using SmartPLS 2.0 to test a model that relates GSCM drivers, GSCM approaches and performance. Findings – Results show that coercive and non-coercive drivers have different implications in terms of GSCM approaches. Moreover, monitoring itself is not sufficient to improve performance; firms need to adopt collaborative practices with their suppliers. Results show that whereas collaboration has a direct effect on performance, monitoring has only an indirect relationship through collaboration. Research limitations/implications – One of the main limitations of this study is the use of data from a single country (Spain). The main contribution of the paper is to show that coercive and ...

Motivating low-carbon initiatives among suppliers: The role of risk and opportunity perception
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine empirically how the perception of climate change-related risks and opportunities moderates the influence of external pressures on a supplier's decision to adopt low-carbon supply chain management (LCSCM) practices.

Integrated resource efficiency: measurement and management
TL;DR: The integrated resource efficiency index (IRE-index) as mentioned in this paper is a macro-level methodology for assessing resource efficiency and sustainability, with implications for production operations in global supply chains, and is a useful composite for capturing aggregate environmental, economic, and social resource efficiencies of production economies.

Paul DiMaggio,Walter W. Powell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them, and describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative.
Economic Action and Social Structure: The Problem of Embeddedness
TL;DR: In this article, the extent to which economic action is embedded in structures of social relations, in modern industrial society, is examined, and it is argued that reformist economists who attempt to bring social structure back in do so in the "oversocialized" way criticized by Dennis Wrong.
