Implementing Green Supply Chain Management to Achieve Competitive Advantage

Abstract

Enterprises had begun gradually to value the impacts of ecological hazards in their operations. Environmental pressures have caused green supply chain management (GSCM) to emerge as an important corporate environmental strategy for manufacturing enterprises. For manufacturers to fully realize the performance potentials of GSCM that could give any influences to their performance especially in competitive advantage, the objective of this study is to explore the interaction patterns among the GSCM implementation success factors from a coalignment perspective. We conceptualize the “consistency” among the factors that facilitate GSCM implementation and evaluate them in terms of their positive impacts on obtaining competitive advantage.
