The Impact

The impact of green purchasing on the enterprise performance was analyzed in this paper. An empirical study in the China textile and garment industry was carried out, and research results show that the five dimensions of green purchasing (Supply chain management, Ecological design, Operation management, External environment management and Environmental authentication) have significant impact on enterprise performance.

The Impact

This study explores the impact of green supply chain (GSC) practices on the enterprise performance in the context of Chinese manufacturing enterprises. A sample of 415 companies’ data was collected from the Chinese manufacturing industry. There are five predictors, including green distribution, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green information system, and eco-design, that were measured for the GSC practices. The GSC practices were measured by five predictors, including green distribution, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green information system, and eco-design. By using exploratory analysis and linear multiple regression analysis, the findings show that except for green distribution, rest of the independent variables have been found to be positively significant to predict enterprise performance. However, the green purchasing has revealed the greatest impact on enterprise performance. Therefore, senior management of the enterprises should implement green practices in their supply chain to increase the overall performance. In future, researchers can conduct comparative studies between manufacturing industry and other industries. In addition, they may bring in some other independent variables, including green logistics, co-operation with customers, and green transportation system. In this research, we estimate the economic and environmental performances together as enterprise performance. But in future, researchers may also calculate the economic and environmental performances separately.

Response Policy

The economic ups and downs since the eruption of the Asian crisis in 1997 had prompted a wave of restructurings and job losses in Singapore and several other Asian countries. As a response, policy-makers in the Singapore government had urged companies to undertake wage reforms and to adopt more flexible wages. The wage restructuring exercise undertaken by the Singapore office of Glaxo Smithkline, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, in 2002 is studied in this case. Since the merger of Glaxo Welcome and SmithKline Beecham two years earlier, there had been consolidation with the less efficient plants in the system closing down. Although the Singapore plants were performing well, the impetus to restructure wages came primarily from a more competitive internal and external environment. Management believed that the introduction of Performance Bonus (PB) would lead to improved metrics and was essential for the company to compete in the changed environment. While the Union leadership was in broad agreement that the plant needed to remain competitive, it had some initial misgivings about the proposals put forth by management. This case charts the process of the wage restructuring exercise, illustrating some of the challenges that companies may face in implementing wage restructuring initiatives. We also examine the impact of different factors, as well as the process of implementation, on the success of such initiatives.

Sector Theory

We present the comparative analysis of the impact of centralized and decentralized corruption for private sector. Theory and empirical evidence point out to a “double jeopardy” of decentralized corruption which increases the burden of corruption upon private firms and weakens the incentives of bureaucracy to provide public production inputs, such as infrastructure. These outcomes are produced by simultaneous free-riding and the tragedy of the commons effects. The empirical part of the paper utilizes data of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance project.
