dc.description.abstractThis research investigates the management of green supply chains through the major implications of management control systems. Green supply chain management characteristics that define high performing buyer-supplier engagements were: sustainability, performance management, quality management, shared investment, waste reduction, and the relationship between partners. This study found that a buying firm needs to employ management control systems in ensuring the supplier outputs. Collaborative management, another important facet in effectiveness of green supply chain management, was found to define successful buyer-supplier relationships. The study also found challenges with initial investment and opportunism, that companies should safeguard themselves through substantive agreements. Mutual investment by both manufacturer and retailer into their operations enhances service to customers and managing relationships in green supply chain management.en_ZA
