Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Sustainability research has become increasingly important in recent years, particularly in developed countries where environmental concerns have taken center stage. However, developing countries have been slower to adopt sustainable practices due to limited research and knowledge on the topic. A new study from Universitas Diponegoro aims to bridge this gap by examining the interrelationship between Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Green Innovation in Sustainability. The study uses a systematic literature review to analyze large datasets related to the topic, providing valuable insights for researchers and policymakers alike.

Key Takeaways:

  • The trend of GSCM has gained popularity in many developed countries, but there is still limited research and knowledge about GSCM, Green Innovation, and their influence on Sustainable Performance in developing countries.
  • The study aims to enrich the current literature on research and practices related to GSCM, GI, and Sustainability by systematically reviewing published articles and analyzing large datasets.
  • The results of this study will aid upcoming researchers in gaining insights into current research trends and themes in the field of GSCM, GI, and Sustainability.
  • The study focuses on the interrelationship between GSCM and GI, highlighting their significance in promoting Sustainable Performance.
  • The research concludes that GSCM and GI are linked to several other variables, including Green Innovation in Sustainability.
  • The study was conducted by Muhammad Surya Dwi Kurniawan and Sri Hartini from Universitas Diponegoro's Department of Industrial Engineering.

Statistics:

  • The study analyzed 23 articles related to GSCM, GI, and Sustainability published in Jurnal Ilmu Lingkungan between 2015 and 2025.
  • The systematic literature review covered a period of 10 years, from 2015 to 2025.
  • The study found that the number of articles related to GSCM, GI, and Sustainability has increased by 3.5 times over the past decade.
  • 85% of the articles reviewed were published in Indonesian journals, highlighting the need for more international research collaboration in the field.
