“…The triple bottom line, encompassing the social, economic, and environmental elements, is used to characterize sustainable development in most research (Brandenburg et al, 2014; Giannakis & Papadopoulos, 2016; Hamani & Boudjema, 2013). The economic, social, and environmental hazards are included in the sustainability risks following the Brundtland Commission's concept of sustainable development (Giannakis & Papadopoulos, 2016).…”

Sustainability‐related supply chain risks and supply chain performances: The moderating effects of dynamic supply chain management practices

et al. 2023

In recent years, the supply chain has undergone significant transformations due to various factors such as globalization, the COVID‐19 pandemic, advancements in information technology, outsourcing, and offshore production. These changes have made the supply network more complex, particularly with regards to sustainability issues, and have increased the vulnerability of the supply chain to sustainability‐related risks. However, despite the growing importance of sustainability‐related supply chain risks (SSCRs), there is a lack of understanding and inadequate research on critical aspects in the existing literature on this topic, such as how firms in volatile and demand‐driven sectors cope with SSCRs and how these risks affect the firms' operational performance. To address this gap, this study investigates the impact of sustainability‐related supply chain risks on suppliers, customers, and the economic performance of businesses in the garment industry in Vietnam. Using a sample of 254 garment companies, this study aims to develop a comprehensive measuring scale for supply chain sustainability risk and evaluates the effectiveness of dynamic supply chain management techniques in mitigating the impact of sustainability‐related risks on firm performance characteristics. The findings of this research reveal that there is a risk–return trade‐off for economic hazards, while no such trade‐off is observed for social and environmental hazards. Furthermore, we find that supplier management and supply chain integration methods can assist in the management of environmental hazards, leading to a positive outcome for both businesses and the environment. The research results provide both theoretical and managerial implications for mitigating the risks associated with sustainability in the supply chain. The results suggest that effective management of sustainability‐related risks can result in a win‐win scenario for both businesses and the environment.

“…Some research argue that entrepreneurs own and operate their interactions (i.e., Hopp &Martin, 2017;Larsson & Thulin, 2019;Jovanovic, 2019). Most studies on crisis management focus on managing firms throughout an epidemic (e.g., Krishnan et al, 2022;Miguel et al, 2022), natural disasters (e.g., Hamani & Boudjema, 2013), and economic and financial crises (Pham, 2022) therefore, there is still a lack of research on the impact of new and emerging crises on micro-enterprises. It is postulated that micro-enterprises in less developed areas are exposed to more significant challenges than larger enterprises or urban areas, especially during a crisis (Fabeil et al, 2020).…”

The article aims to summarize the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on SMEs, considering both its positive and negative effects. Also, the study seeks to summarize the response approaches usable for SMEs to face a crisis. Research Design & Methods:This article uses a critical literature review to summarize the international literature developed on the COVID-19 crisis topic. It considers scientific papers published from 2017 to February 2022 with a focus on specific keywords, English language, from the open access sources on (i) Emerald, (ii) JSTOR, (iii) ScienceDirect, and (iv) Springer, (v) IER, and (vi) EBER. Findings: The paper sheds light on how the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis can impact SMEs. The paper tries to summarize the literature on how SMEs can reverse the uncertainty caused by a crisis and benefit from it. Also, the paper reviews the fact that some SMEs cannot cope quickly enough with the changes in the environment and forcibly shut down their business. The most damaging impact of the COVID-19 crisis is also reviewed in this paper which is the business closure due to lack of resources or disconnection of SMEs from their partners. Implications & Recommendations:This study provides an overview of the positive and negative effects that the COVID-19 crisis had on SMEs. Three approaches were reviewed, uncertainty, resilience, and opportunity, which the decision-makers can use to plan their strategies more effectively and face impending crises more efficiently. This paper also introduces gaps such as the lack of evidence of how COVID-19 affects the entrepreneurship phenomena, which is worth being studied. Contribution & Value Added:This study summarizes the three approaches mentioned in various research papers that SMEs can take during crises and presents gaps worth researching. While many other studies study entrepreneurship at macro levels, the approach in this study is unique as it considers a particular piece of entrepreneurship area and looks at it in terms of small and medium-sized enterprises, describes why COVID-19 is a crisis to the business environment and contributes to the literature to explain how entrepreneurship and SMEs are influenced by COVID-19 situation. I summarized some of the issues SMEs face during a crisis and mentioned the approaches to be taken by business owners during such times using articles conducted in the last five years.

“…The main objective is sustainable development. Hamani et al (2013) writes the model of crisis management in African countries is a form of integration of local government and community located in a threatened area. The main objective of the model is to improve the resilience and cooperation of the civilian population in response to the natural disasters.…”

The forecasting of natural disasters is more complicated than other crisis events. It requires the full use of special forces and means, which are intended to solve them. Crisis managers and many authorities or institutions are involved in the process of solving crisis events. They are exposed to psychical pressure because each phase or reaction must be made promptly and effectively. The authors focus on issues of risk and crisis management in the public sector in their research activities at the University of Žilina. The aim of this article is to propose a well-functioning and effective reaction to natural disasters in Slovakia. This model is proposed with schematic drawings illustrating the activities in each phase of reaction to a natural disaster. The model is based on international past experiences and various laws or ordinances of multiple ministries for the Slovak crisis management system. This article points to possibly optimizing the decision-making processes at all levels of crisis management, in particular to improve the local government level.
