摘要: Sustainable product development (SPD) has received increasing attention by scholars and practitioners recently. This paper explores two essential organizational processes to support SPD: supplier customer involvement. The empirical study in six discrete manufacturing firms shows that various types of sustainability innovations (e.g., recycling or energy efficiency) imply discontinues change the supply chain and/or context, these themes only can be implemented when integration process is sufficiently supported. results suggest SPD requires alignment between type innovation processes.
