Green innovation, implemented by enterprises, contributes to sustainable development and environmental protection. However, because of the high cost and high risk of green innovation, enterprises are reluctant to step into green innovation activities in practice. Government subsidies are conducive to promoting green innovation in enterprises. To investigate firms’ preferences for green innovation, we consider a three-player game in a supply chain where a government offers subsidies (price, innovation, or both subsidies) to a manufacturer and a retailer, while the latter two players cooperate with each other through contracts (revenue-sharing and cost-sharing contracts). By exploring the impacts of government subsidies and cooperative contracts on the optimal level of green innovation efforts and profits of participants, we find that: (1) for green innovation that leads to increased production costs, the government should subsidize both the retailer and the manufacturer to improve the level of green innovation; (2) the revenue-sharing contract is more effective than the cost-sharing contract under the premise of government subsidies; and (3) the revenue-sharing ratio decreases in production and innovation costs, while the cost-sharing ratio increases in these two costs.

“…Such an approach facilitates sustainability conversations while allowing top management and SCM teams to focus on operational affairs. While the role of external sustainability teams has been studied in the literature, the present study has important implications for the role of internal sustainability teams (Sheffi, 2018). Specifically, this study calls for internal sustainability teams to be recognized as part of SCM teams.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand communication pathways and factors that cause sustainability initiatives to become contagious from downstream to upstream members of a supply chain, which is termed sustainable supply chain contagion (SSCC).Design/methodology/approachThis study takes an inductive, grounded theory approach, while utilizing established theories.FindingsThe decision to implement a sustainability initiative depends on the business case for the organization. Importantly, the findings outline several network and communication factors that overcome the weak business case and, therefore, foster SSCC. Based on these findings, a communication network model of SSCC is outlined. Network factors include the contagion pathways, the role of sustainability and top management teams and communication channels. Communication factors include the alignment of sustainability initiatives with departmental objectives, the articulation of goals and assuring the endurance of a sustainability initiative.Practical implicationsManagers can utilize the proposed model to create conditions that strengthen the business case of a proposed sustainability initiative, thus fostering SSCC. The presented findings reveal different tactics that can assist organizations in communicating sustainability initiatives in a persuasive manner, to permit the proliferation of sustainability across the supply chain.Originality/valueThis research enables a multilevel examination of the factors influencing SSCC.

“…Alchemy's decision to not implement two sustainability-related initiatives (IN2, IN3)-each deemed useful in only one scenario-is not surprising. Despite the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change well before the Alchemy project (Oreskes, 2004), most firms are still not taking a lead on addressing sustainabilityrelated issues (Sheffi, 2018). Sheffi notes that this is because most of a company's carbon footprint lies outside its operations, most consumers are unwilling to pay or bear slight inconveniences for sustainability, and economic development is prioritized over sustainability.…”

Despite the decades long use of scenario planning to formulate corporate strategies, its application for making long-term decisions in operational settings is limited. We present a theoretical model explaining how scenario planning can help address an important and intractable issue in operations and supply chain management (OSCM): supply chain adaptability. The OSCM literature describes what type of flexibility enables supply chain adaptability, but remains largely silent on how the right flexibility is embedded and enacted in supply chains. Building on the attention-based view, we
