초록

Today's rapidly rising environmental concerns push manufacturers put tremendous efforts into implementing green management. Nevertheless, there exists strong skepticism towards the net benefit of green management regarding the excessive financial burden firms should bear. To make green management sustainable, firms should achieve green innovation that helps them balance their gaining economic value and society's environmental value.
Existing literature suggests that customer and/or supplier involvement is an important facilitator of firms' innovation performance. However, research on the mechanism through which customer/supplier involvement transforms ideas and knowledge into green innovation is limited. Furthermore, empirical findings about the potential effect of customer/supplier involvements on innovation outcomes are in disagreement.
To fill the research gaps, this study adapts the strategy-structure-performance framework (SSP framework) and argues: (1) the intention of firms to become jointly involved in green management with supply chain partner(s) is their unique business strategy; (2) boundary-spanning routines between partners, which consist of knowledge and relationship routines, function as a supply-chain-unique organizational structure; and (3) boundary-spanning routines act as a mechanism that actualizes supply chain partner involvement strategy to achieve green innovation.
Using survey data from 101 Korean manufacturing firms, this study reports that: (1) customer and supplier involvement positively influence green innovation performance, (2) supplier and customer involvement lead to the development of relationship boundary spanning routines, (3) knowledge boundary spanning routines mediate relationships between customer involvement and green innovation, and (4) relationship boundary spanning routines mediate the relationships between customer/supplier involvements and green innovation.
This study will contribute to the body of knowledge by reaffirming the customer/supplier involvement-innovation performance link but with the mediating effect of boundary-spanning routines. In addition, this is one of a few studies that operationalize the nature of boundary-spanning concept as firms' boundary spanning routines. The critical role of boundary-spanning routines is well-said but insufficiently tested in existing literature.
