Hi

I also think that it often is refered to as the same thing. Very often in logistics and supply chain management there are a lot of different definitions and often they mean the same.

Both are similar depends on what you use :) 

I entirely agree with the comments above!!

Normally they are used interchangeably. However if we say GSC Practices in general without any prior or later reference it could refer to different areas, like marketing, operations, technical, legal and list goes on. GSCM Practices refers more specifically to the related field of Management. 

Dear all,

Here, academics and managers have just to understand that "a supply chain" is a organizational configuration (organization), and "Supply chain management" is the set of mechanisms and practices that help having charge of (managing) "a supply chain". It's like speaking about "a firm" and "management" ! 

This paper will help you :)

Cheers

I agree the above replies. Supply chain is a value-added structure (research object), while SCM is a subject of managerial science and technique (research methodology).

Both practical and managerial approaches are used for SC. Practical approach is referred to operational level such as production, manufacturing sites, and operational sites. SCM covers all chains at all layers such as up stream, main firm and down stream in order to access high performance in green atmosphere.

Green supply Chain Management is an approach to improve performance of the process and products according to the requirements of the environmental regulations and, & Awareness level of customers of Green practices approach opted by organizations is performance - in green world survival.

This was very helpful, thanks a lot!

Green supply chain would be the activity of the organization that is associated with the delivery of product or survice to the customer using a way which has positive impact on environment. And green supply chain management is the effective management of the flow of goods, informations,and funds.
