| Tiivistelmä: | Supply chain (henceforth as: s-c.) managers (here as: s-c-mgrs.) confront several threats and opportunities in current competitive environment (here as: c-env). Firms simultaneously face increased pressure to lower costs, to be innovative, and to improve their environmental (ecological) performance. These rival demands from the c-env. make it difficult for s-c-mgrs. to determine how a specific investment will influence performance. Thus, inevitable trade-offs among investments must be assessed and implemented. This research examines the efficacy of investments in environmental management in different c-e.s, and provides guidelines for s-c-mgrs. in determining when and how they should respond to simultaneous pressures to improve economic and ecological performance. |
