Abstract

Nowadays, the topic of preserving the environment and serving local communities is a hot issue. Hence, this study aims to explore how the green supply chain affects Jordan's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry's ability to compete globally. This study's research methodology is quantitative, descriptive, and cause-effect. Data was gathered from a sample of 124 managers selected randomly from a pool of 300 managers working in 10 out of 14 pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations. The study tool underwent evaluations for normality, validity, and reliability before the data were subjected to descriptive analysis and a correlation analysis was performed between variables. Finally, hypothesis testing was conducted through the application of multiple regression analysis. The findings show that green practices affect competitive strategy, where green operations were having the highest effect on competitive strategies, then green purchasing, and green selling, respectively. The study's conclusions show that the adoption of a green supply chain improves the competitiveness of the Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing sector. Accordingly, the study recommends that Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing companies should include green supply chain practices in their daily supply practices to increase the competitiveness of the organizations.

通过绿色供应链实践开发竞争战略

如今，保护环境，服务当地社区是一个热门话题。因此，本研究旨在探讨绿色供应链如何影响约旦制药制造业的全球竞争能力。本研究的研究方法为定量、描述、因果关系。数据是从14家制药企业中的10家的300名管理人员中随机抽取的124名管理人员样本中收集的。在对数据进行描述性分析和变量之间的相关性分析之前，对研究工具进行了正态性、效度和信度评估。最后，运用多元回归分析进行假设检验。研究结果表明，绿色实践影响竞争战略，其中绿色运营对竞争战略的影响最大，其次是绿色采购和绿色销售。该研究的结论表明，采用绿色供应链提高了约旦制药行业的竞争力。因此，该研究建议约旦制药公司应将绿色供应链实践纳入其日常供应实践，以提高组织的竞争力。

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
