Innovation Practices

In the context of technology, the organization should be well fitted to implement green practice. Environmental practices have been well studied but only a few studies have presented the green innovation practices of corporate firms in Malaysia. This study focused on the awareness of green practices which were concerted upon organizational (Training Program), environment (Government Regulation & Policies) and individual context (Knowledge). A total of 108 questionnaires were returned out of 200. Reliability analyses were applied to test reliability of the instrument. Meanwhile, regression analysis was applied to determine the predicted factors for green practices towards the awareness of green practices. The results of the analysis indicated knowledge of employees as the most influencing factors to the awareness of green practices. For the practicality of this study, green technology is anticipated to be well implemented when  these practices are understood.

The Impact

The pressures exerted by the market, society, regulators and/or clients on organisational environmental responsibility have required companies to adopt environmental management practices. Within this process, integration with suppliers and customers is important to enable companies to meet these demands, and at the same time achieve their organisational goals. Using empirical results from 117 respondents on Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices among Brazilian manufacturers, we examined the impact of the adoption of green practices on operational performance. To do so, we developed a questionnaire to collect the variables on environmental practices and operational performance in manufacturing firms in Brazil, an emerging economy in which this sector accounts for 25% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The results show that the adoption of GSCM between suppliers and/or customers has a positive effect on operational performance. This means companies can benefit from a green supply chain by cooperating with upstream suppliers of environmentally responsible production technology and by exchanging environmental information with them, as well as considering the views of customers and green consumers in their production processes. This study provides empirical support for managers promoting environmental practices that may lead to operational performance and sustainable growth.

Journal of Business Ethics, 67(4), 331–339]. Using as target population companies linked to the Brazilian Association of Electrical and Electronics Industry (ABINEE), the sample consisted of 113 organisations representing 20.62% of this population. The results showed that the level of adoption of innovative green practices among the participating companies is high and that the relationship between products innovation and green processes and the achievement of competitive advantage is significant, but at a moderate level.

<p><em>While green development has been spread largely in construction industry in Malaysia, there is still<br />gap in integration of green development and project management. It is undeniable that many people in<br />the industry are alert to this green technology. However, some of them are refused to apply green<br />building technologies due to several reasons. Green concept is practically not accepted widely in<br />industry as many developers are refuse to apply it in their projects. Hence, the aim of this study is to<br />determine the green practices that need to be done and added in traditional project management from<br />stakeholder perception so it will speed up their acceptance of green technology in construction industry.<br />Method used in determining the practices and analyze the result is the 5-point Likert scale and SPSS<br />software. The result show that only 48 practices in all construction phase are accepted to be implement<br />in green project by all stakeholders. This research also proposed a green project management<br />framework that are realistic and practicable by taking into consideration of stakeholders’ perspective.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>
