许多工商企业的价值链越来越需要证明其主要活动的盈利能力，从进货物流到业务、出库物流、营销销售，最后到服务。采用绿色物流管理（GLM）为中国制造业出口商提供了一个机会，使其能够有效地应对国际社会对资源保护的日益增长的期望，并实现环境效益。这项研究作出了几个重要贡献的文献管理物流与环境的考虑。首先，作者确定了GLM的组成部分：（i）基于程序的实践，（ii）基于评估的实践，（iii）基于合作伙伴的实践，（iv）一般环境管理实践。第二，它们将全球风险管理与发展中国家的环境和业务绩效联系起来。第三，他们确定的制度和操作的前因，促使采用GLM的出口导向型制造企业在中国。第四，他们研究了环境监管压力对GLM绩效联系的调节作用。这一结果基于对中国制造业出口商的调查。一般认为，经济动机与采用一般劳工法有关，但这种看法没有得到支持。然而，GLM积极影响环境和运营绩效，监管压力增强了GLM与绩效的关系。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The value chain of many business enterprises is increasingly required to demonstrate the profitability of their primary activities, starting from inbound logistics to operations, outbound logistics, marketing sales, and finally to services. The adoption of green logistics management (GLM) presents an opportunity for Chinese manufacturing exporters to competently respond to the escalating expectation of the international community for resources conservation and to achieve environmental performance profitably. This study makes several important contributions to the literature on managing logistics with environmental considerations. First, the authors identify the components of GLM: (i) procedure-based practices, (ii) evaluation-based practices, (iii) partner-based practices, and (iv) general environmental management practices. Second, they relate GLM to environmental and operational performance in a developing country context. Third, they identify the institutional and operational antecedents that prompt the adoption of GLM by export-oriented manufacturing enterprises in China. Fourth, they examine the moderating effect of environmental regulatory pressure on the GLM-performance linkage. The results are based on a survey of manufacturing exporters in China. The commonly held view that economic motivation is related to the adoption of GLM is not supported. However, GLM positively affects both environmental and operational performance, and regulatory pressure enhances the GLM-performance relationship. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
