摘要
本研究的目的是探讨企业国际化、供应链可持续性及其绿色创新程度之间的关系性质。了解这些概念之间的关系非常重要，因为世界主要经济体消费者的可持续发展意识日益增强。这种意识正迫使廉价劳动力国家的商品进口商确保其供应商遵守可持续发展法规。由于对供应链中的第二级和第三级供应商缺乏控制，这种合规变得非常具有挑战性。在这种情况下，一级供应商可以推动这项工作，但需要有足够的动力。就环境可持续性而言，绿色创新（GI）可提供一种渐进式的、因而更经济、更实用的环保方式。就致力于可持续发展和 GI 的动机而言，国际化和出口业务扩张可能是这些供应商最有效的动机之一。然而，企业的国际化、供应链的可持续发展和 GI 的程度这三个因素之间的关系需要更好地理解。研究结果国际化、地理信息获取和可持续供应链管理（SSCM）三者之间存在显著关联，因此三者相辅相成。原创性/价值本研究采用新颖的代理理论视角来分析国际化、地理信息获取和可持续供应链管理之间的关系。从这个意义上说，研究结果表明，国际化可能是委托人用来解决代理人目标冲突和信息不对称问题的激励措施之一。
Role of green innovation and sustainable supply chain management in firm internationalization
Purpose
Purpose of this study is to explore the nature of relationship between internationalization of firms, sustainability of their supply chains, and the extent of their green innovations. Understanding of the relationship between these constructs is important because of the ever increasing sustainability awareness of consumers in the leading economies of the world. This awareness is now compelling importers of goods from cheap-labor countries to ensure that their suppliers comply with sustainability regulations. This compliance becomes very challenging because of the lack of control on second-tier and third-tier suppliers in a supply chain. First-tier suppliers in this case may drive this effort but need to be motivated enough to do so. In case of environmental sustainability, green innovation (GI) may provide a gradual, and thus more affordable and practical, move toward more eco-friendly ways. As far as the motivation to commit to sustainability and GI is concerned, internationalization and export business expansion may act as one of the most effective motivators for these suppliers. However, the nature of relationship between these three constructs, i.e. internationalization of firms, sustainability of their supply chains and the extent of their GI requires a better understanding.
Design/methodology/approach
The work uses a novel data set collected from 146 medium and large textile firms operating in Pakistan. The partial least square-structural equation modeling approach is used for data analysis.
Findings
All three constructs of internationalization, GI and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) are significantly associated and thus complement each other.
Originality/value
This work uses a novel agency theory perspective to analyze the relationship between internationalization, GI and SSCM. In that sense, the findings indicate that internationalization could be one of the incentives that can be used by the principals to deal with agents’ goal conflict and information asymmetry.
