Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to examine the effect of buyer influence and green supply-chain (GSC) readiness on environmental performance, and the mediating role of environmental collaboration. A questionnaire survey was carried out among manufacturers in the electrical and electronics industry in Taiwan. The results of this study suggest that both GSC readiness and environmental collaboration significantly and positively affect environmental performance, and confirm the mediating effect of environmental collaboration. This paper also provides managerial implications and offers suggestions for future research, based on the findings of the study. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
