Finally, this study applied organizational theory to GSCM. Organizational theory
has received a great deal of attention in the SCM field (Ketchen et al., 2007). However,
only a few studies have investigated organizational theory’s influence on and
relationship with environmental SCM (Sarkis et al., 2011). As suggested by other
studies, two organizational theories, institutional theory and RBV, have been employed
in this study to explain the relationship between the direction of environmental
pressures and SC performance.
