Abstract

The negative effects of environment climate change caused by industrial activities are inevitable. It forces countries around the world to seek more eco-friendly industrial management system. A great shift of supply chain management already take place in whole process of purchasing raw material to the end costumer. The objective of this paper firstly is to provide a focused literature review of multi-stage green supply chain management, and secondly to define a future research agenda in this area. The proposed structure follows the systematic literature review approach. It involves four major phases: 1) Selecting a review topic, 2) Searching the literature, 3) Gathering, reading and analyzing the literature, and 4) Writing the literature review. The paper concludes by providing a focused literature review and firmly define several future research opportunities. A lack of advance mathematical modelling exhibits as well as a complex system approach because a multidimensional supply chain drivers not only limited from economic, social and economic for green supply chain management implementation that related to corporate and supply chain performance as a whole. Last but not least, operations and tactical level of strategy analysis are rarely applied in Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) researches.
