“…Furthermore, a review of journal‐wise publications showed that SCR research concentrates mainly in business‐related, decision science, and engineering journals. Yet, with handful exceptions (e.g., Mari, Lee, & Memon, ), the number of publications in sustainability‐related journals is quite limited, despite the connections that have been gradually drawn between both research areas (Fahimnia & Jabbarzadeh, ; Jabbarzadeh et al, ). Therefore, future studies would benefit from adapting sustainability frameworks such as the Triple Bottom Line (Elkington, ), the circular economy (Stahel, ), or the product lifecycle analysis.…”

“…The little input of psychology or social sciences in the wider debate on resilience may consequently account for the lack of research on ecological resilience, or the ability to “bounce forth,” that is, to persist and adapt (Holling, ) and the underrepresentation of non‐positivist methodologies (Folke et al, ; Evans, ; Davoudi and Porter, 2012). Besides, the subject area of sustainability has not appeared as of yet as an important contributor to SCR scholarship despite close connections between both areas (Fahimnia & Jabbarzadeh, ; Jabbarzadeh et al, ). This may be due to the fact that researchers seeking to connect both research areas have mainly been published in business, management and accounting journals, and less so in sustainability‐related journals.…”

Managing supply chain resilience to pursue business and environmental strategies

Resilience has become a crucial topic in the field of strategic management as it requires companies to design resilient business models to tackle managerial and environmental disruptions of individual firms and supply chains. However, extant research still lacks deep insights into how companies design and manage supply chains according to the resilience principles. With this premise, this paper aims at conducting a state of the art review on supply chain resilience (SCR) considering 125 relevant papers collected from Scopus and Web of Science academic search engine. Starting from the results of the literature review, this study proposes a systemic framework of SCR assessment and contributes to improve the understanding of the impact of different empirically tested constructs on the development of the resilience concept. Further, the findings are summarized in several areas including barriers in developing resilience, metrics to measure the resilience performance, and effective strategies to foster the SCR. Finally, this study outlines promising future research directions for scholars and practitioners.

“…However, global supply chains are also becoming more vulnerable to disasters, especially in the Asia-Pacific region [80] where natural disasters resulting from climate change are on the rise [50]. The recent damage and losses caused by these natural disasters for the region exceeded US$ 250 billion, accounting for more than two thirds of worldwide disaster losses [81].…”

Abstract:In recent years, there has been a proliferation of interest in resilience in the supply chain field. Even though literature has acknowledged the antecedents of resilient supply chains, such as supply chain visibility, cooperation, and information sharing, their confluence in creating resilient supply chains where other behavioural issues are prevailing (i.e. trust and behavioural uncertainty) has not been studied. To address this gap, we conceptualized a theoretical framework firmly grounded in the resource based view (RBV) and the relational view that is tested for 250 manufacturing firms using hierarchical moderated regression analysis. The study offers a nuanced understanding of supply chain resilience and implications of supply chain visibility, cooperation, trust and behavioural uncertainty. Implications and suggestions for further research are provided.Index terms: Supply chain resilience, antecedents, resource based view, relational view. ManagerialRelevance: From a practitioner view, we provide theoryfocused and empirically-proven guidance to the managers to understand that the invisible hand of the market favours those organizations whose behavioural repertoires support trust and cooperation rather than competition and opportunism. Hence how reduction in behavioural uncertainty enhances the positive impacts of trust and cooperation on supply chain resilience.

“…Growing interest in adopting environmental strategies along the entire supply chain can be recognized in research and business practice [35][36][37]. Several research approaches have been presented regarding sustainability, quantitative as well as qualitative ones [38,39]. A major result is the positive influence of collaboration towards improvements in economic as well as ecologic and social sustainability [40].…”

How to Achieve Supply Chain Sustainability Efficiently? Taming the Triple Bottom Line Split Business Cycle

For sustainable supply chains, specific concepts regarding how to efficiently improve sustainability are needed in a global comprehensive triple bottom line (TBL) approach, especially for forwarders as central actors in supply chain design. Such specific advice is provided by reporting empirical DEA Malmquist index findings from seven large European forwarders regarding a TBL sustainability analysis from 2006 to 2016. A major obstacle in improving sustainability consists in the newly discovered fact that with the business cycle, the three TBL areas of economic, ecologic and social objectives for logistics are undergoing different up-and down-ward trends, making it very hard to improve all three simultaneously. Additional factors are identified in the characteristics of size and government influence regarding the sustainability efficiency of forwarders. This has important impacts on supply chain design like e.g., with selection criteria.
