“…Hypothesis 3 which posits the significant relationship between ICT capability and supply chain sustainability was accepted (t 5 3.600, p 5 0.000) indicating that SMEs' adoption of ICT capability has a relevant influence on supply chain processes, thus it is evident that switching from a traditional supply chain to a digital one seems to be a strategic move that gives organizations, especially SMEs, a long-term competitive edge. This is supported by several studies such as (Allaoui et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2020;Saengchai and Jermsittiparsert, 2019;Shee et al, 2018). Jin et al (2022) explored the effect of ICT capability on the environmental performance of manufacturing firms in China and found ICT capability to have a positive effect on sustainability and further contributing to gathering data from manufacturing firms and bridging the knowledge gap on the absence of firm-level empirical studies, while prior research was only able to offer empirical findings at the macro level (Kiel et al, 2017;Lange et al, 2020;Shobande and Ogbeifun, 2022) or to look into using green ICT in service or IT companies (Anthony, 2019;Nanath and Pillai, 2017).…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities on supply chain fraud and sustainability within the context of Ghana’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, the research explores the mediating role of supply chain fraud in the relationship between ICT capabilities and supply chain sustainability.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 102 respondents within Ghana’s SME sector, and the research employed the dynamic capability theory as the conceptual framework. The study utilized partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to develop and analyze the proposed model.FindingsThe results of the study reveal a significant reduction in supply chain fraud attributable to enhanced ICT capabilities within Ghanaian SMEs. Moreover, ICT capabilities exert a significant positive influence on supply chain sustainability. Importantly, supply chain fraud emerges as a mediator, elucidating its role at the nexus of supply chain sustainability and ICT capabilities.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the limited body of evidence on the interconnectedness of ICT capabilities, supply chain fraud and supply chain sustainability, particularly within the context of Ghanaian SMEs. Notably, this study pioneers an examination of the mediating impact of supply chain fraud on the relationship between ICT capabilities and supply chain sustainability.

“…Over the past decade, the literature has extensively examined the intersection of IoT, nanotechnology, and rare metals. While some studies have investigated the ethical and environmental consequences associated with rare metal usage (Ku, 2018; McLellan et al, 2016; Moats et al, 2021; Rauer & Kaufmann, 2015), the other part of research has taken a more optimistic view, emphasizing the various opportunities presented by nanotechnologies and IoT (Cui et al, 2020; Nahr et al, 2021; Saengchai & Jermsittiparsert, 2019; Tu, 2018). A growing body of literature also explores the link between these technologies and Supply Chain Management.…”

“…It is in this perspective that our work takes place and that we seek to answer the question of how, by focusing on integration methods; and more particularly in the field of Supply Chain Management, as these methods are more present in innovation and marketing. Lastly, the recent literature shows an upsurge in the subject of nanotechnology and rare metals, respectively to show the importance of integrating nanotechnology into industry (Cui et al, 2020; Nahr et al, 2021; Saengchai & Jermsittiparsert, 2019; Tu, 2018), either to explain the ethical and environmental issues of metals and nanotechnologies (Ku, 2018; McLellan et al, 2016; Moats et al, 2021; Rauer & Kaufmann, 2015). To our knowledge, one article proposes to question nanotechnology and Internet of Things (IoT) through the prism of the consumer in order to address sustainability issues (Kasulaitis et al, 2021).…”

The dramatic growth in customer connectivity and the Internet of Things has increased the demand for rare metals, but the extraction, refining and production of these materials can be environmentally damaging. Customers and consumers, meanwhile, are increasingly concerned about sustainability and want their voices to be heard. How and by what means, can B2B companies in the IoT and nanotechnology sector, using rare metals, engage downstream actors to address sustainable challenges in the supply chain? To answer this question, we first define the terms related to rare metals and their challenges; we then review the different methods of customer and consumer engagement proposed in the literature. Secondly, through interviews with companies in the Internet of Things sector and with consumers we analyze the downstream actors' engagement in the context of rare metals through integration methods. The results propose a mapping of the different methods that enable engagement for sustainability objectives.

“…Managers need to know how to give the best answers to the growing demands of customers in terms of delivery times, product availability, cost of stock ownership and reliability of operations (Belekoukias et al, 2014). From a strategic perspective, it is necessary to make a joint assessment of the processes and make decisions that maximise the benefits as a whole, where the purchasing strategies and the supplier selection criteria have a preponderant role (Fernie, 2014;Saengchai & Jermsittiparsert, 2019).…”

Effective strategic purchasing and supplier selection in companies provides businesses with leverage in acquiring goods and services. Thus, companies are in a better position to negotiate prices, discounts, delivery times and logistic channels. Also, strategic purchasing allows for performing a risk assessment to ensure the company’s profitability. This research aimed to identify the key currently deliberated by SMEs for supplier selection, considering such purchasing strategies as (1) cost reduction, (2) risk management, (3) global sourcing, (4) total quality management, (5) sustainable management and (6) supplier management. Also, it aimed to identify the emerging issues related to purchasing strategies. This research work performed a content analysis following a literature review. The Scopus indexation database was selected to conduct the document search. After the refinement process, based on 59 analysed documents, bibliometric assessment tools were applied to identify the key criteria for supplier selection. The TOP6 highest ranked criteria, which corresponds to 80 % of the most referred criteria, include: (1) the quality of goods; (2) compliance with the delivery times; (3) price/cost; (4) supplier reputation and/or market positioning; (5) geographical location; and (6) supplier performance history. The goal of strategic purchasing is to support the companies in achieving long-term goals through its integration into the company’s strategic planning process. It should be identified by the managers as an important resource. Several factors elevate the importance of strategic purchasing, namely, environmental protection, technology advances related to logistics 4.0, and risk assessment related to global sourcing and sustainability. The present research is in line with the findings of the referred literature, i.e., the application of prioritised criteria for the procurement and supplier selection operations in the industrial context, aiming to reduce lead times and logistic costs. The criteria must be aligned with the purchasing strategies adopted by the companies. The manuscript aims to demonstrate that the fundamentals of strategic purchasing strategies can contribute to the improvement of the SME supply process with the application of simple and cost-effective approaches.
