Introduction：
With the globalization and the development of e-commence, supply chain management (SCM) has become important for companies to be competitive in the world. At the same time, due to the pressures from governments, the public and non-governmental organizations, companies have to pay enough attention to environmental issues. Thus, green SCM (GSCM), which integrates environmental concerns into SCM, has become necessary for companies to balance economic, environmental and social requirements. This presentation will introduce three studies in managing green supply chain, providing further theoretical and managerial understanding from competition, collaboration and coopetition perspectives.
