“…Spiegler et al (2012) mention the trade-off between SCRES and cost (such as that of flexibility) but also acknowledge that other cost elements that are difficult to measure (such as poor customer service or loss of control) may rise due to lack of SCRES. From an ecological perspective, in the specific context of coupled infrastructure systems, Homayounfar et al (2018) and Homayounfar et al (2022) pointed out the trade-offs between resilience and robustness, and between resilience and performance respectively. However, this result is consistent with the RBV that argues that as a company acquires resources or combines these resources into capabilities and develops a specific set of capabilities to achieve higher financial performance (Barney, 1991(Barney, , 1995.…”

Purpose While, supply chain resilience (SCRES) continues to be a dominant topic in both academic and business literature and has gained more attention recently, there is limited knowledge on SCRES capabilities specific to business functions. The purpose of this paper is to identify and investigate capabilities shared between supply, operations and logistics that are most important for SCRES. Design/methodology/approach To address this gap, the authors followed a multi-method research approach. First, the authors used the grounded theory method to generate a theoretical framework based on interviews with 51 managers from five companies in automotive SCs. Next, the authors empirically validated the framework using a survey of 340 SC professionals from the manufacturing industry. Findings Five significant capabilities emerged from the qualitative study; all were significant in empirical validation. This research advances the knowledge of SCRES as it informs managerial decision-making by identifying capabilities common to supply, logistics and operations that impact SCRES. Originality/value This research advances the knowledge of SCRES as it informs managerial decision-making by identifying capabilities common to supply, logistics and operations that impact SCRES. In addition, the findings of this research help managers better allocate resources among significant capabilities.

“…Given this representation of the environmental state, we assumed the simplest behavioural response, a linear negative feedback. Psychological studies suggest that alternate or additional responses warrants further investigation, such as positive reinforcement (improved environmental state encourages to do more [22, 17]) or “giving up” (environment degradation leads to less effort, rather than more [22, 17]).…”

Addressing global environmental crises such as climate change requires the adoption of consistent proenvironmental behaviour by a large part of a population. Identifying the main determinants of proenvironmental behavioural consistency remains challenging. Here, we ask how the individual assessment of environmental actions interacts with social norms to shape the degree of behavioural consistency, and how this feeds back to the perceived environmental state. We develop a stochastic individual-based model involving the coupled dynamics of a population and its perceived environment, assuming that individuals can switch between two alternate behaviours differing in their environmental impact. After showing that the system can be approximated by ordinary differential equations and associated fluctuations, we study the population-environment stationary state. We show that behavioural consistency depends on the balance between individual assessment and social interactions while being little sensitive to the environmental reactivity. Inconsistent proenvironmental behaviour caused by the environmental feedback can be countered by the social context provided the proenvironmental social norm is strong enough. Establishing such a social norm (through e.g. communication or public policy) thus appears critical for consistent proenvironmental behaviour. Noticingly, the combined social and environmental feedbacks then prove effective at establishing consistent proenvironmental behaviour even at high individual cost.

“…A similar assumption was made by Weitz et al (2016) [12] in a game-theoretic model where the environmental feedback was positive and governed by a tipping point. Future work could address the effect of a positive feedback in our model, to capture positive reinforcement (improved environmental state encourages to do more [49,53]) and "giving up" (an environment assessed as degraded leads to less effort, rather than more [49,53]).…”

Addressing global environmental crises such as anthropogenic climate change requires the consistent adoption of proenvironmental behavior by a large part of a population. Here, we develop a mathematical model of a simple behavior-environment feedback loop to ask how the individual assessment of the environmental state combines with social interactions to influence the consistent adoption of proenvironmental behavior, and how this feeds back to the perceived environmental state. In this stochastic individual-based model, individuals can switch between two behaviors, ‘active’ (or actively proenvironmental) and ‘baseline’, differing in their perceived cost (higher for the active behavior) and environmental impact (lower for the active behavior). We show that the deterministic dynamics and the stochastic fluctuations of the system can be approximated by ordinary differential equations and a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process. By definition, the proenvironmental behavior is adopted consistently when, at population stationary state, its frequency is high and random fluctuations in frequency are small. We find that the combination of social and environmental feedbacks can promote the spread of costly proenvironmental behavior when neither, operating in isolation, would. To be adopted consistently, strong social pressure for proenvironmental action is necessary but not sufficient—social interactions must occur on a faster timescale compared to individual assessment, and the difference in environmental impact must be small. This simple model suggests a scenario to achieve large reductions in environmental impact, which involves incrementally more active and potentially more costly behavior being consistently adopted under increasing social pressure for proenvironmentalism.
