Achieving triple bottom line performance in manufacturer-customer supply chains: Evidence from an emerging economy
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018) Umar Burki; Pervin Ersoy; Robert Dahlstrom; Burki, Umar; Dahlstrom, Robert; Ersoy, Pervin
The influence of sustainability on innovation is well-established yet the efficacy of innovation as a determinant of sustainable performance in supply chains has received less scrutiny. This study examines green innovation practices as determinants of the triple bottom line performance. Moreover the study implicates top management commitment to sustainability as a driver of green managerial and process innovation. The research employs AMOS to assess survey-based data collected from 181 Turkish manufacturers. The results offer evidence that top management commitment fosters green innovation practices and these innovations enhance economic performance environmental performance and customer cooperation. Top management should therefore commit to achieving sustainable operations and follow up this commitment with green innovations that drive triple bottom line performance. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Top Management Pledge An Essential Component of Sustainable Manufacturer-Customer Relationships
(Luminous Insights LLC, 2022) Umar Burki; Pervin Ersoy; Burki, Umar; Ersoy, Pervin
This study reviews the role of top management commitment in realizing sustainability goals in interfirm and supply chain relationships. Next the study employs the resource-based view of the firm to implicate top management commitment as a moderator of influences of green innovation practices on customer cooperation. Using survey design methodology we collected data from different 181 ISO 14001certified Turkish manufacturing firms. We tested the proposed hypotheses by using the hierarchical multivariate regression approach. The direct effect of top management commitment on green process innovation is significant while its effect on green managerial innovation is insignificant. However the results show that manufacturer-customer relationships support top management commitment as a positive moderator of the relationship between green innovation practices and customer cooperation. Our results underscore the vital role played by top management in the firm’s efforts to accomplish sustainability objectives and enhance interfirm cooperation. Further the study contributes to the literature by revising the available literature on the different roles of top management commitment in green supply chains and business relationships. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Top Management- Green Innovations- and the Mediating Effect of Customer Cooperation in Green Supply Chains
(MDPI, 2019) Umar Burki; Pervin Ersoy; Usama Najam; Burki, Umar; Najam, Usama; Ersoy, Pervin
This study examines the mediating role of customer cooperation in green supply chain relationships. Employing 181 manufacturer-customer relationships we test the mediating effect of customer cooperation on the process and managerial innovations. As proposed customer cooperation positively mediates the relationship between top management commitment and process innovation. However customer cooperation fails to mediate the relationship between top management commitment and managerial innovation. The findings suggest that the magnitude of customer cooperation increases the adoption of green innovations between supply chain partners to mitigate the negative impact on the environment. Furthermore customer cooperation enforces a sense of mutuality between supply chain partners to diminish the impact of carbon footprint.
