“…Supply chain resilience has been studied in various industries and more importantly in the food supply chains (Colwill et al ., 2016). Supplier development has been identified as one of the strategies for reducing vulnerability to food supply chain disruptions (Wieteska, 2016). In this study it is proposed that supply chain resilience as manifested via its drivers identified above can be achieved through supplier development in the form of contract farming.…”

“…Flexibility is generally decomposed into supplier flexibility, procurement flexibility, and logistic flexibility. Supplier flexibility refers to a supplier's ability to respond effectively to changes in customers' orders in terms of volume, product mix, and delivery (Wieteska, 2016). This ability to be flexible is enhanced when suppliers are capacitated through the provision of resources.…”

PurposeThe study sought to determine the possibility of supplier development in the form of contract farming as a determinant of supply chain resilience in fast-food outlets. This is against the background of the restaurant having been designated as one of the industries that remained operational when the other industries were affected by the two-decade-long economic meltdown and more recently COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using questionnaires from the consenting restaurants with the most senior procurement personnel in target restaurants as the informants and analysed using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software.FindingsThe results revealed that indeed supplier development in the form of contract farming leads to supply chain resilience as indicated by improved supply chain visibility, supply chain flexibility, and supply chain redundancy. Fast-food restaurant businesses that have not yet adopted supplier development in the form of contract farming are therefore encouraged to adopt it as a way of enhancing their resilience to traditional supply chain disruptions such as transport shortages, droughts, and more recently COVID-19 pandemic.Originality/valueIt is to the best knowledge of these researchers, that no studies have attempted to analyse the three drivers of supply chain resilience, namely supply chain redundancy, supply chain flexibility, and supply chain visibility in a single study and link them to a single antecedent.

“…According to Zolkiewski et al (2006), adaptation refers to the “extent to which buyer and seller make a substantial investment in the relationship” and the “exchange of specific investment is the adaptation” (Su et al , 2008). Accordingly, Wieteska (2016) views adaptation as a core tenet of any working business relationship and helps firms to adjust to significant environmental changes. Adaptation is known to include product and process design, delivery systems, value analysis, quality control and cost targeting (Su et al , 2008).…”

Purpose Integrating the social exchange and resource dependency theories, the study aims to comparatively examine the supplier relationship management (SRM) dimensions and organizational performance links of private and public hospitals in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Comparative in nature; employing a quantitative approach; and using simple random and convenience sampling techniques, the study tested the proposed hypotheses using structural equation model-partial least square based on 205 usable questionnaires. Partial least square-multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA) was performed to test the significance of the difference in the parameters between the two samples: private and public hospitals in Ghana. Findings The dimensions of SRM (communication, cooperation, trust, atmosphere and adaptation) have a significant, positive impact on private hospitals’ performance in Ghana. Similarly, communication and trust were found to be positively and significantly correlated to public hospitals’ performance. In contrast, cooperation, atmosphere and adaptation dimensions showed no significant, positive effect on public hospitals’ performance. PLS-MGA disclosed that these observed differences in the findings between the private and public hospitals in Ghana are statistically significant. Research limitations/implications The findings of the study, while limited to hospitals in Ghana, are likely to be relevant in other emerging economies for effective and enhanced supply chain relationship management. Practical implications The findings provide pragmatic insights for marketing practitioners and organizational leaders of hospitals about the significance of SRM dimensions in today’s globalized marketplace, and how to nurture them to enhance organizational performance. Originality/value The value of the study lies in the examination of the relationship between SRM and organizational performance in the health sector by comparing private and public hospitals in an emerging economy context.

“…It also embraces a resilient construction sector and its supply chains. Small and medium-sized enterprises should strengthen their resilience to distortions to ensure continuity of their operations and market competitiveness (Gayan et al, 2010;Wieteska, 2016). We also need new technologies and innovation supporting construction sector adaptation, new services and industries, as well as new adaptation jobs.…”

This paper aims to review subject-matter literature and analyse the development policy documents of major Polish cities addressing the issue of climate change adaptation (urban adaptation plans, Polish abbr. MPA) and concerning the real estate sector; it is also an attempt to draw conclusions and identify potential benefits and challenges that the construction sector is currently facing. The literature focuses on coastal real estate, costs, benefits and barriers in the adaptation of buildings. MPAs point to the significant role of the real estate sector in adapting to climate change. Soft and hard instruments are becoming increasingly important in MPA. These are spatial planning (building restrictions in hazardous areas, use of green roofs in investments), a system of incentives for investors to promote adaptation activities, ecological education, investments in improving the energy efficiency of buildings. Also identified are the benefits to the real estate sector, e.g. the growing importance of occupations on the real estate market, the development of innovations and increased access to cheaper services and technologies. In Polish cities, high-intensity residential areas are characterized by high sensitivity. MPAs will strengthen the resilience of the city’s technical infrastructure and public space, as well as develop blue and green infrastructure, which may translate into the increased resilience of real estate.
