Due to the environmental regulations and acts proposed and initiated by EU, enterprises have to take the impact on the environment into account. As such, they need to standardize suppliers¡¦ production process and management mechanism in their supply chain to lower the impact of their products and production process to the environment.
As a result, how to establish suppliers¡¦ awareness of environmental concept and share the knowledge of green product production and related environmental management practices have become the key issue about green supply chain management. This study uses case study method, and seven enterprises which perform well in environmental protection are interviewed. After analysis, there are seven issues are found in this study:
1. Environmental acts in the local markets have positive influence on the implementation of green supply management by global enterprises.
2. The more customization and modularized the product of enterprise is, the more they enhance their green supply management, in order to respond to environmental acts.
3. The emphasis on environmental acts will assist the long-term and cooperative relationship between enterprises and their suppliers.
4. The emphasis on environmental acts will affect positively the collaborative innovation of green supply management.
5. The relationship between enterprises and their suppliers will influence the types of sharing knowledge in green supply management.
5-1. When enterprises and their suppliers have short-term and contractual relationship, they tend to share only explicit knowledge.
5-2. When enterprises and their suppliers have long-term and cooperative relationship, they tend to share explicit and implicit knowledge.
6. The more innovative the products of enterprises, which also have the characteristic of an assembly plant and a system manufacturer in the supply chain, the more likely they play a leading and transferring role in the knowledge sharing of green supply management.
7. The relationship between enterprises and their suppliers, as well as types of shared knowledge, will impact the construction of knowledge sharing and the installation of the controlling (auditing) mechanism of green supply management.
7-1. When enterprises and their suppliers have short-term, contractual relationship, they tend to establish only basic and explicit knowledge sharing mechanism.
7-2. When enterprises and their suppliers have long-term, cooperative relationship, they tend to use more resources and build a comprehensive knowledge sharing mechanism, but have a more restrict controlling (auditing) mechanism as well.
