Moderating Role

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between the environmental management of purchases and firm performance. The authors examine the moderating role played by two variables: the establishment of long-term relationships with suppliers and the strategic integration of the purchasing function. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conduct an empirical study on a sample of 100 Portuguese firms. Findings – Evidence reveals that green purchasing management improves the performance of the purchasing function, although the impact is greater when the organisation forges lasting alliances with its suppliers. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the study of the consequences of introducing environmental practices into the purchasing function, especially with regards to the formation of a panel of sustainable suppliers. Specifically, this research provides evidence to show that the implementation of those practices has positive impacts on the operating performance of the purchasing function and that the said effect is greater when a firm establishes long-term relationships with its suppliers.

Can the Black man make a success of business? An empirical analysis of the managerial problems of black dealers in Lebowa The success rate with training black entrepreneurs leaves much room for improvement. In this article the problems with training Blacks in general are discussed. The conclusion is that training needs are not correctly identified, and tutors are not always sufficiently educated and motivated. By means of research done in Lebowa, it is indicated which aspects should receive more attention when training the black businessman. The following aspects were researched specifically to identify the needs: background problems such as cultural aspects and overpopulation; location and problems with shop design layout and atmosphere; the organizational structure and personnel management. Limited knowledge of personnel needs and the absence of good delegation of authority are identified as important problems; purchasing management, the typical buyer and purchasing problems are identified; marketing management with special reference to pricing and promotion, and financial management were also investigated and the findings are that the security problem and the weak record keeping of respondents limits them in exercising sound financial management. On the basis of this information, guidelines for a training programme are proposed in conclusion.
