“…The most common data collection method applied is the survey. Within the group of surveys, the favored methods for analysis are structural equation modeling [11,56,65,94,105] and regression analysis [29,82,92,102,106,122] applied to determine e.g., relationships between green practices and operational performance, or competitiveness of a firm [92,102]. An example of sustainability measures included in a survey [91] is the suppliers' environmental performance based on common measures such as carbon emission and waste reduction, together with more rarely investigated aspects such as consumption of hazardous materials and environmental accidents.…”

“…Empirical evidence of socially focused IOSCI that include suppliers outside of Asia or service suppliers are almost absent. Another finding is the focus on e.g., CSR-performance [66,69] or green supply chain collaboration [9,56] where the sustainability aspects are generally held, and presented in terms of e.g., environment-sustaining activities. Hence, both specific (e.g., waste reduction) and rather vague (e.g., 3BL) sustainability aspects are focused in the sustainable logistics and SCM-research.…”

“…The dyad [10,56,61,99,109] and the supply chain [20,39,73,98,106] are the most common units of analysis (see Figure 4), represented by studies of, for example, environmental concerns in buyer-(LSP)supplier dyads [99] and environmental efficiency of packaging from a manufacturer-distributor-retailer perspective [20]. At a much slower growth rate, as well as amount, are the articles with the UoA equal to network [77,123], where for example governance mechanisms for sustainability in OEM-traders-farmers networks are addressed [77].…”

“…The first three are the "true" dyads [62,99], supply chains [20,39,70] or networks [59,77] where data is collected from all actors involved in the investigated IOSCI. The next three are the "focal firm" dyads [16,56,82,91,105], supply chains [12,15,65,106] or networks [103,123] where data is collected from fewer instances in the dyad/supply chain/network than stated in the UoA. The last two identified empirical scopes are the "not interlinked" dyads [10] and supply chains [22,73], with data collection from all instances in the UoA.…”

“…The largest category includes more than one industry, primarily survey studies of different manufacturers [23,30,56,110], and multiple case studies [14,59,89] within different industries. An investigation of addressed supply chain actors displayed that-as in the very definition of a supply chain-actors such as suppliers [12,64,77,87,117], manufacturers [12,22,30,56,59,82], retailers/brands [20,26,59,73,88], and wholesalers, e.g., [39] are included; even if studies of wholesalers are rare. Empirical data on IOSCI from the logistics service provider (LSP) is rare [133]; presented in only four studies [62,70,73,99], despite the transport sector being the second largest emitter of green-house gases [134].…”

Inter-Organizational Supply Chain Interaction for Sustainability: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research on inter-organizational supply chain interaction (IOSCI) for sustainability can be described as fast-growing and fragmented. It is uncertain to what extent logistics and supply chain management (SCM) literature has been able to close research gaps regarding e.g., empirical scope and sustainability dimensions addressed. A systematic literature review (SLR) is carried out to synthesize the existing knowledge and ongoing trends, and to propose a research agenda. The trend analysis shows that the gap between the environmental and social dimension is increasing, that Asian studies grow nearly exponentially, and that the focal firm perspective gains more ground. The research agenda calls for participatory studies of multiple actors and for studies addressing, e.g., the invisible logistics service providers. This study provides an important complement to existing literature reviews on sustainable supply chain interaction, primarily by its focus on the development over time, the empirical scope, the focus on publications in logistics/SCM journals, and its narrow focus on the interaction among firms in supply chains.

Purpose Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) have significantly evolved during the last decades, yet their role within a supply chain triad has been overlooked; this study examines empirically the 3PLs' role using four established theories: resource-based view, social capital perspective, agency theory and transaction cost economics.Design/methodology/approachThis study examines the role of 3PLs in four supply chain triads, using the case study approach. Sources of evidence include interviews and secondary data.FindingsThe 3PL had different roles in multi-demand triads as service developer, customer adaptor and customer developer. The 3PL, by offering advanced services, became a service developer. The 3PL as a customer adaptor offered customised services and gain the client's trust. As a customer developer, the 3PL acted on behalf of its client in expanding its operations and meeting competitive needs.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of the case study methodology can only be generalised to similar types of 3PL. Supply chain triads are an emerging research field; theories like the resource-based view and transaction cost economics are established in the dyadic context and require further elaboration when applied in triadic contexts.Practical implicationsThe findings provide practical insights into the role that 3PL can play in supply chain triads, how they can upgrade their role by long-range planning and extending their services to create supply chain efficiency.Social implicationsUnderstanding the 3PL's role in triads can improve how companies and economies respond to crises like the recent pandemic outbreak.Originality/valueIt uncovers three different 3PL roles in supply chain triads by using four established theories.

Measuring the Environmental Maturity of the Supply Chain Finance: A Big Data-Based Multi-Criteria Perspective

This paper presents a strategic roadmap to handle the issue of resource allocation among the green supply chain management (GSCM) practices. This complex issue for supply chain stakeholders highlights the need for the application of supply chain finance (SCF). This paper proposes the five Vs of big data (value, volume, velocity, variety, and veracity) as a platform for determining the role of GSCM practices in improving SCF implementation. The fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) was employed to prioritize the five Vs by their roles in SCF. The fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was then applied to evaluate GSCM practices on the basis of the five Vs. In addition, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) was used to visualize the optimum implementation of the GSCM practices. The outcome is a hybrid self-assessment model that measures the environmental maturity of SCF by the coherent application of three multicriteria decision-making techniques. The development of the Basic Readiness Index (BRI), Relative Readiness Index (RRI), and Strategic Matrix Tool (SMT) creates the potential for further improvements through the integration of the RRI scores and ISM results. This hybrid model presents a practical tool for decision-makers.
