Abstract

In the context of the Chinese government’s strategy for sustainable development, this paper studies the impact of government and major customers on firm’s sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Drawing the data of 234 public manufacturing enterprises from CSMAR database, the results suggest that the impact of government and major customers on SSCM perform differently among China’s three economic regions. Specifically, in Eastern region, the government has significant impact on SSCM, the impact of firm’s administrative connection is negative, while the impact of government policies and regulations is positive. Major customers have significant impact on SSCM in Western region. Specifically, the short-term effect of major customers is negatively related to SSCM. While the long-term effect of major customers is in the opposite order, indicating that long-term and stable supply chain relationships with high customer concentration can promote enterprises’ SSCM level and short-term cooperation behavior with high customer concentration will hinder the implementation of SSCM.
