“…As expected in a sequential mixed-methods study, mixing the findings of the quantitative and qualitative phases led to a situation where the qualitative findings helped explain the quantitative findings (Bazeley, 2018; Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019). Existing literature shows an association between collaborative culture and supply chain collaboration (Cao & Zhang, 2013; Kumar et al , 2016; Kucharska & Kowalczyk, 2016; Zhang & Cao, 2018), hence our expectation that specific dimensions of collaborative culture would positively influence supply chain collaboration (Acquah et al , 2021). To facilitate easy comparison, both the quantitative and qualitative results are presented in the form of a joint display matrix in Table 6.…”

PurposeThis study aims to demonstrate how integration is achieved in an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design by assessing the effect of collaborative cultural dimensions on supply chain collaboration amongst firms in Ghana's downstream petroleum sector. Specifically, the study examined how collectivism, long-term orientation, power symmetry, as well as uncertainty avoidance influence supply chain collaboration. Besides, it also demonstrates how integration is achieved in an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.Design/methodology/approachUsing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study employed a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis of quantitative data (N = 166), followed by a thematic analysis of eight semi-structured interviews to explain how and why the dimensions of collaborative culture impact supply chain collaboration.FindingsThe quantitative findings suggest that three out of the four dimensions of culture significantly predict supply chain collaboration. Integrating the quantitative and qualitative findings suggests convergence between the results of the quantitative and qualitative phases of the study as the qualitative results compliment the quantitative findings and offer more nuanced understanding of the cultural mechanisms responsible for successful supply chain collaborations.Practical implicationsThe findings provide managers in the downstream petroleum sector with insights into how and why the dimensions of collaborative culture influence supply chain collaboration. These managers should, therefore, build corporate cultures characterized with high levels of long-term orientation, power symmetry and uncertainty avoidance.Originality/valueOwing to the role of culture in successful supply chain collaborations, this study, through a mixed-methods design, links the dimensions of collaborative culture with supply chain collaboration in the downstream petroleum sector. Moreover, it demonstrates how integration and complementarity are achieved at the study design, methods, as well as the interpretation and reporting levels of an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.

“…Nevertheless, inherent mutual dependency helps these supply chain actors to quickly bounce back and adapt to new situations after the disruptions (Cao & Zhang, 2012). Part of the reason is the noninstitutional financial support provided by other actors in the supply chain to more vulnerable partners.…”

Inherent and adaptive resilience of logistics operations in food supply chains

This study aims to investigate the sources of resilience for logistics operations as it relates to food supply chains and their responses during natural disasters and other disruptions. The literature tends to treat inherent and adaptive resilience as somewhat separate constructs. Thus, this study also aims to provide some insights into the relatively underexamined area of how inherent resilience synergistically works with adaptive resilience to maintain flows for food supply chains in a developing economy context. To address the research aim, two supply chain wide case studies were used to investigate the contribution of logistic activities toward the resilience of foods supply chains in two different South Asian regions. This context was selected as these regions are prone to frequent natural disruptions and other disruptions, and these food supply chains also play a crucial role in economy and providing relief supplies to their communities. Logistics operations play a key role in achieving overall supply chain resilience. The sources of inherent resilience are the network structure, buffer capacity, and strong social connections among the actors. Adaptive resilience is derived from transportation flows, storage, information sharing, and demand management processes. Surprisingly, resilience in this context is achieved despite the relatively low level of integration, an unsophisticated technological landscape and compromised logistics infrastructure. Still, resilience can be enhanced further. This study contributes to the sparse literature that examines logistics activities that influence the resilience of food supply chains in the context of natural disasters and other disruptions. Furthermore, uncovering the substructure of logistics resilience activities, and surprisingly, the synergies between inherent and adaptive resilience, adds to the emerging body of literature.

“…There are seven related yet distinct dimensions of SCC as highlighted by Cao and Zhang (2013) viz. IS (Kim and Umanath, 2005), GC (Ryu and Yucesan, 2010), DS (Harland et al, 2004), IA (Oliva and Watson, 2011) RS , CC (Prahinski and Benton, 2004) and JKC (Johnson and Sohi, 2003).…”

Supply chain agility has been investigated from multiple perspectives. Without supply chain collaboration, supply chain agility cannot be achieved. The current study aims to investigate the influence of seven dimensions of supply chain collaboration viz., information sharing, goal congruence, decision synchronisation, incentive alignment, resource sharing, collaborative communication and joint knowledge creation on supply chain agility. As the proposed relationships may vary depending on the context, the moderating role of environmental uncertainty has also been investigated. Based on empirical data collected from 164 logistics and supply chain professionals, the findings develops a priority order for the seven dimensions of SC collaboration required for SC agility development.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Mandal, S. (2015) 'An empirical-collaborative model of supply chain agility', Int.
