Operational Productivity, Corporate Social Performance, Financial Performance, and Risk in Manufacturing Firms (2016, background): “Although both lean researchers (e.g, Hofer et al. 2012) and green researchers (e.g., Klassen and McLaughlin 1996) have examined the FP impacts of those capabilities independently, the joint economic effects of lean and green have not been examined.”
The moderation of lean manufacturing effectiveness by dimensions of national culture: Testing practice-culture congruence hypotheses (2014, background): “components interacting to improve operating performance (Demeter & Matyusz, 2011; Hofer et al., 2012), research is needed to explain why LM exhibits a collective cultural sensitivity.”

Implementation of Industry 4.0 and lean production in Brazilian manufacturing companies (2018, background): “Several researchers (e.g. Pettersen 2009; Hofer, Eroglu, and Hofer 2012) have indicated this instrument as the basis for their studies, or even referred as a key research for growing from it (e.g. Sousa and Voss 2008; Yang, Hong, and Modi 2011; Stone 2012).”
