Analyzing Consumer Engagement in Electronic Waste Products Reverse Logistics: Extending the Planned Behavior Theory

Jiangmin Ding,Eon-Seong Lee,Wenbo Tian The International Academy of Global Business and T 2023 The International Academy of Global Business and T Vol.19 No.6

Purpose - This study extends the theory of planned behavior from a consumer perspective to investigate consumer willingness and behavior in electronic waste products reverse logistics, along with the underlying influencing factors. Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on existing research, this paper has developed a model and hypotheses regarding consumer intentions to participate in electronic waste products reverse logistics and the influencing factors. Subsequently, this study conducted a survey of 355 Chinese consumers aged 20-50 years and used SmartPLS to analyze the relevant data for hypothesis validation. Findings - Results show that consumers’ green attitudes and green subjective norms have a positive impact on their willingness to participate in electronic waste products reverse logistics. And perceived behavioral control only exerts a positive influence on their participatory behavior. On the other hand, concerns about privacy breaches often hinder their willingness and behavior to participate. Moreover, the findings also indicate that consumers’ willingness to participate positively influences their actual participation behavior. Research Implications - This study predominantly examines the positive and negative subjective factors influencing consumers’ intentions and behaviors in participating in reverse logistics for electronic waste products. Based on the findings, we suggest fostering consumer awareness of electronic waste through various channels, including social media, and maintaining ongoing promotional campaigns to enhance environmental awareness and consumer engagement. Additionally, relevant firms should bolster consumer privacy protection, while the government should enhance regulatory oversight and introduce incentive policies to encourage businesses to increase investments in information security, thereby boosting consumer confidence in participation.

The Impact of Dynamic Knowledge Management on Supply Chain Resilience: Exploring the Moderating Role of Growth Strategic Orientation

Ding jiangmin(딩장민),Lee Eon-seong(이언승) 한국경영학회 2023 한국경영학회 통합학술발표논문집 Vol.2023 No.8

Due to the increasingly volatile business environment, building a resilient supply chain has become one of the effective means for companies to survive and develop a competitive advantage. Many factors influence the resilience of supply chains, but none of them can be separated from effective knowledge management. Some existing studies have proved the impact of knowledge management on enterprise performance, but most ignore the nature of knowledge dynamics. Based on the resource-based view theory and dynamic capability theory, this study proposes the concept of dynamic knowledge management, a dynamic process of organizational learning, unlearning, and relearning. Based on this research, this paper aims to explore the impact of dynamic knowledge management of enterprises on supply chain resilience through a qualitative research method. In addition, firms often adopt different strategies based on their needs and market demands, and this impact may vary depending on the firms strategic orientation. Therefore, we further explore the moderating effect of a firms growth strategy orientation on the relationship between dynamic knowledge management and supply chain elasticity. This study will further enrich the literature on supply chain resilience. In addition, based on the findings, this study aims to provide rationalization suggestions for relevant firms to enhance their understanding and practical operation.

Determining Factors and Performance of Reverse Logistics in Electronic Waste Products: Evidence from Chinese Companies

DING JIANGMIN,이언승 부산대학교 중국연구소 2022 Journal of China Studies Vol.25 No.4

The consumption of electronic products has increased significantly in recent years with improved living standards and consumer purchasing power. As a result, the number of discarded electronic products is also increasing day by day. On the one hand, discarded electronic products contain many harmful substances. If they are not handled or handled improperly, they will easily pollute the ecological environment. On the other hand, discarded electronic products also contain a great number of useful materials including silver, gold, copper, and others. If they are recycled and processed reasonably, they will have a high reuse value. Many countries are facing the problem of improper disposal of e-waste. Even in countries that have formal e-waste management systems in place, collection and recycling rates are still low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for research on the reverse logistics in electronic waste (e-waste) products. This study aims to clarify the factors determining e-waste reverse logistics (RL) implementation and explore how implementation of e-waste RL impacts a firm’s performance. Based on a review of literature, we adopt a conceptual model showing the relationship among resource commitment, legislation, public awareness, inter-firm cooperation, implementation of e-waste RL, and firm performance. To test our hypotheses, we collected survey data from Chinese electronics companies. The results of our analysis showed that improving resource commitment, relevant legislations, and inter-firm cooperation can increase the efficiency of e-waste RL implementation, which in turn can improve a firm’s economic, environmental, and social performance. However, legislations, public awareness, and professional recycling infrastructure for e-waste RL implementation are still insufficient in many developing nations, including China, resulting in low efficiency. This study offers important insights into how firm performance can be improved by implementing e-waste RL. It also offers relevant suggestions, such as improving legislations, detailing subsidies, increasing consumer participation, encouraging inter-firm cooperation, and information-sharing to integrate resources and encourage electronic product manufacturers to innovate and strengthen ecological design.

The Impact of ESG Investments on Corporate Value and Performance - A Comparative Study of Clothing Manufacturing and Service Industries in China -

Lu, Biwei,Ding, Jiangmin,Lee, Eon-seong 경성대학교 산업개발연구소 2023 산업혁신연구 Vol.39 No.4

The importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments has garnered increased attention from corporations and investors due to the rising demand for sustainable development. Prior research has substantiated that ESG activities contribute significantly to a company's long-term growth. This paper aims to explore the impact of ESG investments on corporate financial performance and enterprise value by analyzing publicly available data from 79 service manufacturing companies and 80 service industry companies listed on the Chinese A-share stock market. It particularly emphasizes a comparative study between the clothing manufacturing industry and the service industry, taking into account the distinct characteristics of these sectors. The research findings for the apparel manufacturing industry reveal that while ESG scores do not significantly affect financial performance (ROA and ROE), they do positively influence corporate value (Tobin's Q). Further investigation into individual ESG dimension scores indicates that environmental (E) investments in the clothing manufacturing industry significantly affect corporate value, whereas the impacts of social (S) and governance (G) dimensions are not significant. Conversely, results for the service industry demonstrate that ESG investments positively impact financial performance but do not significantly affect corporate value. Subsequent analysis of individual dimension scores reveals that social (S) investments in the service industry positively impact financial performance, while environmental (E) and governance (G) dimensions do not have significant effects. Based on these findings, this research advocates for ESG disclosure, highlighting its significance as a reference point for investors and companies. Furthermore, the study underscores the varying weights of ESG's three dimensions in different contexts, emphasizing the need for different industries to engage in flexible strategic planning based on their specific characteristics.
