Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: Building green capability in small-to-medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs)

This study seeks to examine the contexts and mitigating circumstances surrounding GI implementation. In particular, it focuses on three main research questions: 1. Why did some GIs fail to achieve positive outcomes while others were able to even acquire competitive advantages from their implementation? 2. Given that some GIs could lead to positive outcomes, why wouldn’t organizations embrace the “winning” approaches when implementing GIs? 3. What were the approaches and conditions that could ensure positive outcomes from GI implementation?
