Supply chain management refers to the management of relationships and flows between operations and process (Slack, et al., 2012). Through recent studies, presenting an increasing interest in the topic that is Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). GSCM aims at the whole optimal material and information flows on the value supply chain management, especially for the aspect of ecological and sociological (Kumar, Teichman and Timpernagel., 2012). The research paper from Tachizawa, Gimenez and Sierra (2015) analysed the complicated interrelationships among GSCM approaches, environmental drivers and environmental performance. This article will be chosen as the main research article in this essay.
Firstly, this article was hoped two …show more content…
The other research has been done by Youn, Yang and Roh (2012) to explore the green process of SCM by studying the GSCM strategy from Iron and Steel Company (POSCO) and Samsung Electronics (SEC). POSCO holds on a reputation that is cost efficient and superior productivity. The GSCM driver is likely from environmental regulations. SEC is the top electronic products provider that marked innovative, short-life cycle and high-profit margin. The GSCM drivers may be from consumer and social pressure. Youn, Yang and Roh (2012) only mentioned two main GSCM drivers, while did not make a classification regarding GSCM drivers, and did not quantitative research the two firms’ performance after implement GSCM. Compared with the main research article (Tachizawa, Gimenez and Sierra., 2015), the GSCM drivers were divided by non-coercive and coercive drivers. The main research paper may have a more comprehensive conclusion about GSCM …show more content…
2015) announces a reasonable equation modelling-driven decision support system by using GSCM taxonomy. In this journal, the sample size (1475) and geographic scope were broadened to include a various sectors and organisational size under the previous studies. The conclusion asserts that the larger organisational environmental attitude and the level of environmental risk and impact are critical factors to driving GSCM practices. Contrasted with the research article (Tachizawa, Gimenez and Sierra., 2015) lists that the sample size is too small (71) and from single countries (Spain). And the former created three clusters from another aspect like organisational attitude to explore the impacts on GSCM operational practices. The main research article promises excellent drivers classification that is coercive and
