“…Also, despite the differences that exist with other sectors, the construction sector could still benefit from 'borrowing' best practices and management ideas such as GSCM from other sectors provided they be carefully crafted and contextualized (Harty 2008;Kumaraswamy et al 2008). For instance, aspects such as "supply chain partnering" and "supply chain collaboration", which is common in other sectors such as manufacturing are now seen in the construction sector.…”

Supply Chain Management: an International Journal y C h a i n M a n a g e m e n t : a n I n t e r n a t i o n a l J o u 1 Green supply chain management: An empirical investigation on the construction sector Abstract Purpose: Curtailing the adverse environmental impacts of the construction sector is one the major challenges of the twenty-first century. However, despite the significance of this problem, the limited efforts so far to tackle the negative impacts associated with this particular sector have been largely fragmented and disjointed. Given that the net green outcome of a construction project is the sum total of the efforts undertaken at the various supply chain stages (from the initial design to the endof-life demolition) by different stakeholders, the green supply chain management (GSCM) approach is seen as a way forward toward streamlining the fragmented efforts at greening the sector. This forms the motivation of the present work, which aims to develop, validate, and apply a multidimensional GSCM framework for the construction sector.Design/methodology/approach: A comprehensive GSCM assessment framework consisting of nine constructs (external and internal drivers; external and internal barriers; core and facilitating GSCM practices; economic, environmental and organizational performance implications) and their underlying factors was developed through an extensive literature review. Using data collected through a structured questionnaire, the framework was validated, and the relevance/appropriateness of each construct and its underlying factors, along with the hypothesized relationships between the constructs, were assessed separately for each supply chain stakeholder. Findings:The findings confirm the validity and reliability of the constructs and their underlying factors as well as the assessment framework. In general, the implementation of green practices has had a positive impact on the environmental, economic, and organizational performance for all stakeholders, while the extent of the green practices implemented depends on the relative strength of the drivers and barriers. Research limitations/implications:This study fills a gap in the literature about applying/implementing GSCM in the construction sector. Practical implications:The findings provide practitioners, policy makers, and organizations associated with the UAE construction sector, as well as the construction sector in general, insight into all key aspects of GSCM.Originality/value: A comprehensive survey-based assessment of GSCM for the construction sector has not been previously attempted and constitutes the novelty of this work.

“…El intercambio de información puede ayudar a la familiarización y dar la oportunidad de desarrollar una mentalidad común de temas (Hult et al, 2004). Spekman et al (2002) apuntaban que en las cadenas de suministro integradas y en todo tipo de alianzas, la habilidad para absorber y transferir conocimiento ofrece ventajas que superan el resultado de reducir costes únicamente, algunos de los beneficios clave son construir confianza (Kumaraswamy et al, 2008) y reducir los costes transaccionales.…”

RESUMENDada la importancia que ha tenido la subcontratación en los últimos años y el auge de las cadenas de suministro, gestionarlas de forma eficiente es un factor clave a tener en cuenta para mejorar el rendimiento de la empresa. Una buena relación con los clientes/proveedores aumenta el flujo de comunicación e información entre ambos, lo que les permite aprender unos de otros, logrando que haya aprendizaje organizacional y llegar a la obtención de una ventaja cooperativa que sea beneficiosa para ambos. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser muchas las ventajas de esta relación, las empresas son reacias a compartir información de su organización, encontrándose con la controversia de perder control y protección de su organización. El objetivo de este trabajo es construir un marco teórico que permita explicar las variables que determinan el grado de influencia del aprendizaje organizacional dentro de la cadena de suministro. La metodología seguida ha sido una revisión de la literatura previa que nos ha servido de apoyo para cumplir el objetivo propuesto. Como resultado de este trabajo, hemos detectado que los factores clave para la búsqueda del aprendizaje organizacional en la cadena de suministro se agrupan en tres: externos a la organización, internos a la misma y relacionales, inherentes a la relación que mantiene con los integrantes de la cadena de suministro a la que pertenece. Palabras claves: Cadena de suministro, aprendizaje organizacional, ventaja competitiva, empresa, subcontratación. JEL: M11.

“…Derived largely from the work of Durkheim (Price, 1996) and further developed by Ouchi (1980) a clan is also an alternative hybrid form of organisational governance. Defined as "a sociologic unit made up of individuals" (Cova, Prevot & Spencer, 2010 p.882), the principal mechanism of control is a complex process of socialization (Kumaraswamy, Anvuur & Mahesh, 2008;Ouchi, 1979). Under certain commercial and organisational constraints it would be reasonable to suggest that business decisions within a clan would be taken "in which social considerations (at least sometimes) outweigh economic ones" (Price, 1996 p.95).…”

An emergent form of client-led supply chain governance in UK construction: CLANS

Drawing inspiration and legitimacy from the traditions of organisational theory and in particular alternative mechanisms of organisational governance, the research explores an emergent, clan form of client-led supply chain governance in UK construction. Clan mechanisms of organisational governance are described as hybrid structures of exchange, neither pro-market nor organisational hierarchy. Not to be mistaken with alternative mechanisms of exchange such as networks, clan forms of client-led supply chain management are readily distinguishable by their highly socialised marketplace, enduring relationships and community of practice. A qualitative research strategy is adopted for this exploration of clan forms of client-led supply chain governance. Data collection uses semi-structured interviews, recorded, coded and analyzed. Participants include senior industry figures from a crosssection of construction stakeholder organisations, including client bodies, first tier service providers and construction contractors. In contrast to much of the prevailing work in construction supply chain management research, the findings draw specific attention to a hybrid form of organisational governance rarely discussed: namely clans. In light of challenging economic conditions, the recognition and potential contribution of clans as an alternative mechanism of governance is a timely and valuable contribution to the ongoing construction supply chain management debate.
