FRAMEWORK:
ITEM:
CONCLUSION:
1. The effect of buyer-supplier relationships on collaboration between companies of different locations or countries (and comparisons) and its impact on green supply chain management. Also, other determinants of buyer-supplier relationships in green supply chain management should be considered.
2. Sustainable/green food supply chain offers a great scope for further research considering the perishability, health reasons and government policies ®ulations.
3. Develop analytical and simulations models at the implementation/operational level decision making for greening supply chain through collaboration and incentives. Tools or techniques such as game theory, fuzzy logic, linear and integer-programming as well as simulation can be utilized for optimization.
4. Global operational factors such as product pricing, import duty, tax and environmental regulations should be considered in green supply chain decisions.
5. While studying the integration of cloud computing and its effect on relationships for green logistics, the following of logistics factors should be considered: freight 15 forwarding, customs clearance, and sea freight shipment on door-to-door or to port service companies.
6. Multi-criteria decisions making models can be developed for extending the models reported in the special issue so that other real life factors can be considered in order to increase the scope of the applications of such models in green supply chain development.
7. Studies reported have some limitations with reference to sample size and geographical coverage and the hypotheses explored. Also, both the financial and non-financial performance objectives should be considered as a part of future research effort.
8. How to prioritize the efforts and focus areas in organizations for greening supply chain based on the value-added activities? Whether a company should focus on remanufacturing or recycling, procurement, process improvement, and logistics and so on. Depending upon the core business process, companies should decide the effort or initiatives for greening the supply chain.
