Relevant external environmental forces affecting green supply chain in the Philippine consumer electronics industry

International Journal of Supply Chain and Operations Resilience (IJSCOR), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2015

Abstract: The study identified relevant external environmental forces affecting green supply chain management in the Philippine consumer electronics industry through extensive review of literature and the use of the PEST analysis. The research framework was derived from the GSCM model of Hervani et al. (2005), while using the IPO model by Harris and Taylor (1997), to analyse the findings. The identified forces are technically more positive outpointing the adverse effects by a slight margin (eight of the factors contribute positively while six factors play a negative role and one was deemed neutral). It can also be observed that most of the forces are economic in nature (seven in total), while the political aspect is the least with only two. The information gathered can be of great assistance to organisations studying the Philippine consumer electronics industry for business strategy purposes as well as a basis for industry evaluation to determine key areas of focus for a more cost-efficient and sustainable green supply chain.
