Alignment Between Enterprise Green Supply Chain and Green Information System: An Analysis of Four Cases

Green innovation helps enterprises enhance economic development, organizational transformation, and market competitiveness. As an important means to implement green innovation within an enterprise, the integration of green supply chains management (GSCM) and green information systems (GIS) plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of the enterprise. This study uses the case interview method to examine the integration of GSCM and GIS by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and its impact on organizational performance. Through the analysis of interview data collected from four sites, it is found that the overall degree of integration is still low, especially at the corporate social level. Nevertheless, the integration of GSCM and GIS indeed has a positive impact on corporate performance. The findings yield helpful insights for SMEs to enhance GSCM-GIS integration and optimize green innovation.
