It is being increasingly acknowledged, in both the IS and sustainability literature that the greatest opportunity for “green” information systems is in the reduction of energy consumption and associated green house gases through the optimal design of supply and demand networks. This paper reports the findings of a multiple case study investigation into how a comparatively new green IS framework...

Green supply chain management has appeared as an essential strategy for enhancing environmental performance of processes, structures, and products accordingly to address regulatory and competitive forces. Korean firms lag in green logistics activities relative to ‘green’ leading companies in advanced countries. Thus, few papers have identified and investigated green supply chain systems within ...

Almost all the countries in the world are considering how they can respond to environmental problems through using eco-friendly processes and products. The supply chain is one of the main drivers causing significant environmental issues such as emissions. As a result, the idea of green supply chains have been consider to address these environmental problems through buyer–supplier alliances. In ...

The paper explores the pricing policies and green strategies in a duopoly green supply chain with vertical and horizontal competition, which includes a green manufacturer, a traditional manufacturer and a common retailer. The purpose of the paper is to address the following research problems: (1) How manufacturers’ market power influences the pricing policies and green strategies of supply chai...

With the emergence of environmental protection as a global issue, implementing environmental practices for sustaining green supply chain management (GSCM) has received a lot of attention. This study investigates the impact of integration with suppliers and supply disruption risk on environmental practices. It also examines the role of supplier integration and supply disruption risk on performan...

Green supply chain management, as a new area for research in the field of management, that plays a vital role in the development of a manufacturing sector across the world in general and India in particular. Recycled economy is a generic term for the activities of reduction, recycle and utilization of resources in the processes of production, circulation and consumption, etc. It centers on the ...

The dissertation includes three essays. These three empirical studies apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine key issues in green supply chain management. The hypothesized model is tested using a sample of supply chain managers derived from a Dun and Bradstreet database. The data collection is through a large webbased survey. The first essay examines how a firm’s proactive environme...

One of the most strategic and the most significant decisions in supply chain management is reconfiguration of the structure and design of the supply chain network. In this paper, a closed loop supply chain network design model is presented to select the best tactical and strategic decision levels simultaneously considering the appropriate transportation mode in activated links. The strategic de...

In this study a supply chain network design model has been developed considering both forward and reverse flows through the supply chain. Total Cost, environmental factors such as CO2 emission, and social factors such as employment and fairness in providing job opportunities are considered in three separate objective functions. The model seeks to optimize the facility location proble...
