Green Supply Chain Integration and Technology Innovation Performance in SMEs: A Case Study in Indonesia
Abstract
The purpose of the research to analyze SMEs’ technological innovation performance in the Special Region of Yogyakarta based on green supply chains. This study’s technology innovation performance is influenced by environmental management practices, green supply chain integration, and supply chain knowledge-sharing. This research is important because many SMEs are underdeveloped in terms of technology innovation performance. Technology innovation performance shows that innovation has a multi-dimensional ecological performance in organizations. Therefore, SMEs’ sustainable supply chain could be achieved by managing operations, support, and information by focusing on environmental and social issues to maximize the entire chain. This study used primary data. The number of respondents in this study was 200 SMEs that have implemented green supply chain management practices. The data collection method used was a questionnaire. The data analysis technique tool used is a two-step approach to SEM-AMOS. The results of this study indicate that SMEs are willing to implement a green supply chain to increase their performance. The technological innovation performance model of this study is acceptable. The findings of this research suggest that companies must be encouraged to maintain and increase the implementation of green supply chain integration and better supply chain knowledge-sharing with improved technological innovation performance enhancements. © Copyright: The Author(s) This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

... Therefore, in the current study context, it is essential to clarify how different capabilities manage the outcome uncertainty of GI in order to attain distinct performance advantages. According to Effendi et al. (2021), GI performance in GSC covers green process innovation and eco-friendly product innovation. Information processing theory offers a fresh look at the intricacies that underpin the various implications of GSCI dimensions and GI on organizational performance (Wong et al., 2020). ...
... GSCI aims to reduce environmental consequences, increase resource utilization, and promote long-term performance improvement by managing intra-and inter-organizational processes magnificently (Vachon and Mao, 2008;Cousins et al., 2019). GSCI is an essential source of technical innovation in enterprises, SC members (including suppliers and customers), and expertise and an important source of ideas (Effendi et al., 2021). ...
... Organizations should collaborate with SC partners to turn to the GSCI paradigm . While prior research has shown a link between integration and creativity, GSCI gives chances to acquire and deploy resources (Wu, 2013;Dangelico, 2016;Effendi et al., 2021). Research also supports that environmental management practices, directly and indirectly, affect EP (Thong and Wong, 2018;Xu et al., 2020). ...
Stakeholder pressure and public awareness of environmental protection drive organizations to improve environmental practices in the supply chain (SC), such as green supply chain integration (GSCI) and green innovation (GI). The use of information technology (IT) is crucial to manufacturing organizations’ GSCI and performance. However, the research on the relationship between IT capabilities, GSCI, GI, and organizational performance is still limited. Therefore, empirical research is needed on the cognitive thinking of employees using IT capabilities to improve GSCI and organizational performance. The data for this study comes from SC personnel in manufacturing organizations through a structured questionnaire and was analyzed by employing structural equation modeling. Based on the results, this paper concludes that organizational IT capabilities positively affect the GSCI and improve organizational performance (environmental and operational performance). Furthermore, the study discovered that GI increases organizational performance and acts as a positive mediator in the link between GSCI and performance. The findings contribute to existing GSCI and GI knowledge, which can provide a bird's eye-view to develop an organization’s IT capabilities to achieve competitive performance goals.

... The other point raised by the respondents was that those SMEs which did not meet the criteria for one reason or another should be given support by allowing them to receive the relief grant while they set about rectifying the issues that prevented them from qualifying. In an occurrence of a pandemic, government support would be needed; it is not a matter of choice as to who qualifies for what (Effendi et al., 2021). ...
The impact of COVID-19 on Africa’s tourism industry is unprecedented in the modern era. As a result of drastic measures taken by governments to stop the spread of the virus, coupled with the fear of travelling, international tourist arrivals on the continent took a nosedive. This chapter sets the tone for the rest of the chapters by examining the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, recovery strategies and the post-pandemic tourism outlook from an African perspective. Although the African continent recorded the least number of infections and deaths, it suffered disproportionately from the impacts of the pandemic compared to other parts of the world. Africa’s overdependence on inbound tourism, inadequate health infrastructure, unfavourable image and the dominance of small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) and informal tourism businesses are among the factors that make African countries particularly vulnerable to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. In the post-pandemic era, the tourism industry should be restructured to reflect African countries’ local and national peculiarities.KeywordsSub-Saharan AfricaInternational tourismPandemicRecovery strategiesInbound tourism

The Characteristic features of the business leave their traces in every field, from the way of doing business to the practice of management. ...
In an intense competitive environment, businesses have a sustainable competitive advantage to the extent that they can meet various expectations. Recently, the expectations of all stakeholders regarding environmental sensitivity have been increasing and even this situation has become a necessity with legal regulations. Unfortunately, it is stated that SMEs cause more damage to the environment compared to other large enterprises when it comes to the provision of products and services within an environmentally sensitive approach. Therefore, it is important to examine the relationship between green innovation and SMEs, which is defined as an environmentally friendly product and service delivery, for a sustainable business performance and meeting stakeholder expectations. In this context, it is aimed to examine green innovation in SMEs in detail in this study. In accordance with the main purpose of the study, studies that examine the concept of green innovation in SMEs and present empirical results from publications in various indexes (Ulakbim, Scopus, WebofScience and Proquest) have been identified. Identified studies were classified within the framework of "author", "date of publication", "type of research", "sample" and "variables". Actual results of empirical studies on Green innovation carried out specifically for SMEs are shared. It is considered that the results of the study will make significant contributions to the literature in terms of presenting all empirical studies on Green Innovation in particular for SMEs, while raising awareness about the impact of Green Innovation, which is the delivery of environmentally friendly and sustainable products and services, on SMEs.

Over the past decade, there has been a constant spotlight on introducing sustainability in the supply chain (SC). The materialistic human greed for production and consumption has led to a radically increased level of greenhouse gases. SC has become its principal contributor. We are addressing this socio-economic environmental challenge by developing a multi-stakeholder framework and focusing on a knowledge-based net zero supply chain, as there are no concrete existing studies that have investigated current state-of-the-art operations in this relevant field. Therefore, this research has been conducted to investigate the drivers, barriers and practices through which net zero economy (NZE) can be attained in a knowledge-based SC. In this regard, the paper conducts an exploratory systematic review of selected articles from peer-reviewed journals. The findings indicate that primary stakeholders (i.e. organisations and suppliers) require to take an active role in bringing about sustainable changes in practice. However, external perspectives (i.e. government, society, consumers and community) have also been identified as sources that create challenges as well as have the potential to aid sustainable industrial practices. Additionally, progress can be enhanced through proper policies, regulations and a knowledge-based conceptual framework to pave the way for a sustainable environment. Proper practices for NZE also provide scope for economic growth through cost-effective production. This paper will be beneficial for practitioners as well as policy makers on a global scale who aim to attain NZE for sustainability.
... Technology innovation can promote knowledge accumulation , and LC technology innovation depends on knowledge accumulation (Hoette et al., 2021). KS has a significant impact on the performance of LC technology innovation (Brandao Vinholis et al., 2021;Effendi et al., 2021). Gu et al. (2021) studied the impact of global LC technology transfer on carbon emission reduction. ...
Knowledge sharing (KS) in the green supply chain (GSC) is jointly determined by the KS efforts of suppliers and manufacturers. This study uses the differential game method to explore the dynamic strategy of KS and the benefits of emission reduction in the process of low carbon (LC) technology in the GSC. The optimal trajectory of the knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits of suppliers and manufacturers under different strategies are obtained. The validity of the model and the results are verified by numerical simulation analysis, and the sensitivity analysis of the main parameters in the case of collaborative sharing is carried out. The results show that in the case of centralized decision-making, the KS efforts of suppliers and manufacturers are the highest, and the knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits of GSC are also the best. The cost-sharing mechanism can realize the Pareto improvement of GSC’s knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits, but the cost-sharing mechanism can only increase the supplier’s KS effort level. In addition, this study found that the price of carbon trading and the rate of knowledge decay have a significant impact on KS. The study provides a theoretical basis for promoting KS in the GSC and LC technology innovation.

The Limpopo Province experienced huge job losses because of COVID-19, which thus, prompted the rolling out of recovery mechanisms by the Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET) department across sectors, including tourism. However, the effectiveness of the adopted recovery mechanisms is not known. The purpose of this chapter is to determine the efficacy of adopted COVID-19 recovery plans for tourism in the province and to determine the beneficiaries of such mechanisms. This chapter utilises content analysis underpinned by an exploratory research design. It was found that although recovery strategies existed, implementation was a critical challenge which eventually resulted in targeted beneficiaries not benefiting from the recovery plans, particular tourism businesses. This chapter recommends that tourism businesses develop their own recovery plans so that they do not entirely rely on the government.KeywordsCOVID-19Cultural heritage tourismTourismRelief grantRecovery planGovernment
With the recent international economic and social changes, the development of innovation theories, the changes in the global industrial structure, and the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, many countries have advanced from innovation paradigm 1.0 to 3.0, integrating a variety of disciplines and theories, and using this concept to enhance their innovation capabilities. In such an environment, how to combine scientific and technological innovation with ecological environment construction, practice the integration and symbiosis of ecology and innovation, and promote the development of green innovation is the current focus of academic research. The scientific and technological innovation ecological chain is an organizational model that realizes the goal of scientific and technological innovation and the value-added spiral through the orderly connection and synergistic interaction between the main bodies or elements of innovation, such as basic research, technical research, achievement transformation, talent support, and technological finance. This paper takes Shanxi Province’s scientific and technological innovation ecological chain as a typical example, collects relevant text data through web crawler technology, then deconstructs the system of scientific and technological innovation ecological chain based on media integration, understands the composition of its main chain, supporting chain, and the interaction between the chains mechanism, and finally puts forward policy suggestions for the deepening of the future regional scientific and technological innovation ecological chain.
Technology advancements are essential to creating a successful green supply chain. Both internal and external features can influence a business's innovative development; thus, there must be relationships between these aspects for Innovative Development to succeed. Additionally, anticipating a supply chain's pattern of Innovative Developments might be crucial and help the business owners have a more perceived perspective about their business technological level future. In the first stage of this research, the correlations between management pledge, environmentally friendly design, and green material usage on the expected innovation level in green supply chains are investigated. Then, a new method for using fuzzy weights of the factors used in the Support Vector Machine algorithm is proposed. Then, using a new model coded that is proposed and coded by Python, the innovation level related to technology in green supply chains will be classified and predicted. The results are compared with Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gaussian NB, and Multi-Layer Perceptron. The outcomes demonstrate the superiority of the Support Vector Machine algorithm in terms of achieved maximum score and minimum error. The results of the data analysis showed that, in the cases under study, Top Management Obligations and Responsibilities (0.385), Environmentally friendly Design (0.392), and Green Material Usage (0.443) all had a substantial impact on the advancement of Innovative Developments. The suggested support vector machine model was also evaluated in 30 case studies, demonstrating that the model is capable of accurately forecasting technological advancement in green supply chains (score: 0.81). This paper contributes to the industry owners to allocate a set budget to the use of green materials, Management Obligations and Responsibilities, and Environmentally friendly Design in their businesses, leading them to reach a pre-expected level of Innovative Developments in their system.
This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) that takes into account the effect of GSCM drivers on implementing GSCM practices in Vietnam FDI companies. This study has considered organizational commitment, social network, and government support as GSCM driver factors and proposed a structural model of the relationships between GSCM drivers and GSCM practices in Vietnam FDI companies. The empirical analysis used data from 192 questionnaires which used a comprehensive, valid, and reliable tool (SPSS 26 and SmartPLS 3.0 software) to evaluate rigorous statistical tests including convergence validity, discriminatory validity, reliability, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) to analyze and verify the gathered data and develop the hypothesis. The result of path analysis shows that GSCM driver factors constitute a structured system with different degrees of influence on GSCM drivers and GSCM practices. Organizational commitment and government support has a positive relationship with both GSCM drivers and GSCM practices, while social network only has a positive relationship on GSCM drivers. As a result, the testing of the relationship between GSCM drivers and GSCM practices has been verified and supported. The findings of this study can help managers and decision-makers to push the implementation of GSCM practices in FDI companies.
Green supply chain collaborative innovation (GSCCI) is about the utilization of specific advantages of individual organizations in a holistic manner along the supply chain through collaboration for jointly solving green management problems. This paper presents a conceptual model for better understanding the relationship between GSCCI, absorptive capacity and innovation performance in organizations. Taking 206 foreign trade organizations in China as the survey object, this study empirically tests and validates the conceptual model using multiple regression analysis. The study shows that organization-organization collaborative innovation, organization-government collaborative innovation, and organization-institution collaborative innovation have a significant positive effect on innovation performance. It reveals that absorptive capacity has a significant positive effect on innovation performance. Furthermore, the study finds out that absorptive capacity plays a partially mediating role in the relationship between organization-organization collaborative innovation and innovation performance and between organization-institution collaborative innovation and innovation performance. This study illustrates the mechanism of GSCCI and its impact on innovation performance which provides guideline for foreign trade organizations in China to better compete in the international market through collaborative innovation.
