Abstract
. This paper presents the study on GSCM practices in SMEs in Pune region (India). The components for the study (survey) were based on the literature review and also from the feedback received from the academicians and executives from the corporate world. From the survey, it was found that the adoption of GSCM practices in SMEs was still in the early stage. The environmental sustainability awareness was very low among the customers. The legislation and regulatory framework is also lagging in promoting the sustainability of the environment. Data analysis results revealed that vendor–vendee relationship has positive impact on sustainability of product design and the logistics, which further was positively related to economic performance and competitiveness of the organization. This study was conducted with 120 manufacturing industries under SMEs category. AMOS, a statistical software, which stands for Analysis of Moment of Structures is used for structural equation modeling and path analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to measure the overall respondents view on sustainable supply chain management.
