Identification and Analysis of Factors Influencing Green Growth of Manufacturing Enterprises Based on DEMATEL Method—Wooden Flooring Manufacturing Companies as a Case

Abstract

It is significant to scientifically identify what factors influence the green growth of manufacturing enterprises and analyze the relationship among these factors, thus promoting green growth. Firstly, the corresponding conceptual model is designed; then, the DEMATEL method and steps used to identify the influencing factors are introduced; finally, the DEMATEL method is adopted to empirically analyze wooden flooring manufacturing companies so as to identify influencing factors of their green growth. According to the results, there are six reason factors, namely environmental standard constraints, green market demand, market competition, green technology advancement, upstream and downstream synergy of green industrial chain, and policy support, which provide the most important external support to enterprises’ green growth and main driving power to wooden flooring manufacturing ones.
