With increasing attention being paid to environmental issues, manufacturers are seeking to establish strategy alignment with their supply chain (SC) partners to cope with these environmental challenges. However, few studies have uncovered how to effectively align green strategies at the SC level. Based on upper echelons theory, this study uses data collected from 206 manufacturers in China to explore the influence of leadership on the different dimensions of supply chain green strategy alignment (GSA) (i.e., internal, supplier, and customer GSA) and operational performance. The results show that first, internal GSA is a key driver of both supplier and customer GSA. Second, transformational leadership is positively related to all dimensions of GSA, while transactional leadership is only positively related to internal GSA. Third, internal and customer GSA are positively related to operational performance. This study contributes to the green supply chain management (GSCM) and leadership literature by conceptualizing GSA as a three-dimensional construct and constructing a framework for investigating its antecedents (leadership styles) and consequences (operational performance) and provides practical guidelines for companies to align their green strategies with their SC partners under the influence of leadership.

Supply Chain Management has emerged as one of the major key area for companies to gain competitive advantage in the market. It has been identified to have a significant impact on the natural environment and has resulted in a growing need for integrating environmental thinking into supply chain management and its processes, hence the companies are getting more attention as a sustainable development mode for modern enterprises, increasingly a part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and investing to achieve greener supply chain which can be waste eliminating, productivity improving and resource saving. This paper study the Green supply chain practices and green initiatives by an American multinational retailer Wal-Mart (World's largest public corporation & retailer in the world), who has strengthened their supply chain management and coordination across the supply chain elements such as strategic sourcing, logistics management, supply chain information systems, an...
Walmart Policy and Sustainability Challenges
Oketch Michael
Global companies' primary goals are global expansion, sustainability, and considerable market. Sam Walton founded the US retail giant Walmart in 1962. It manages widespread networks of discounted retail warehouses and stores (Williams, 2019). In 2022, Walmart took first in Forbes's Top 500 Fortune companies in market capitalization (Struckell et al., 2022). It is in several nations, including the USA, Argentina, Canada, and Brazil (Williams, 2019). For an extended period, Walmart has endured criticism for its dismal employee treatment, which has been the primary reason for global complaints. This international attention has hindered its global expansion, such as the failure t penetrate the German market. Several factors, including the company's supposedly poor pricing policies and low wages, have contributed to Walmart's rising negative brand image. Despite the company's critics, economists maintain that Walmart has a net beneficial impact on the global economy because it is the largest employer worldwide, with about 2.2 million employees (Alshahari, 2021). The company should re-evaluate its policy to curb growing competition and consumer-changing behavior. Policy and operational adjustment provide a solution to Walmart achieving its sustainability goals and retaining its market share.

This research aims to provide insight regarding Wal-Mart’s retail development strategy in its expansion across the continental United States. The study examines store location patterns and relationships between Wal-Mart’s store and distribution center locations and markets. The study shows that, although radial expansion is broadly characteristic of the dense store patterns that have been well established for Wal-Mart at the national level, expansion patterns at the regional level are consistent with a selective process based on factors other than store density. These results provide a new perspective on Wal-Mart’s expansion, providing insights of value to retail practitioners and local government. Key Words: distribution center location, location intelligence, retail chain expansion, store location, Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart has been both praised and pilloried as a template for twenty-first century capitalism. Therein lies the challenge in analyzing the world's largest retailer. We examine the sociological impact of Wal-Mart in terms of four themes: its business model and organizational structure, the dual impact of Wal-Mart's labor relations in terms of its own stores and working conditions in its
