Sustainability is a broad area, and few researchers have attempted to classify studies on supply-chain management, such as those on processes for supply-chain use and regarding products and technology for implementing cleaner supply-chain management (CSCM). This paper offers in-depth reviews of...

We use grounded theory arguments and field data to support a model that links environmental government policies to customer actions and firm sustainability strategies. A firm׳s sustainability strategy in turn influences the design and deployment of green supply chain management strategies....

Many production plants are pursuing responsiveness (i.e., timely purposeful change guided by external demands) as one of their main performance priorities and are looking for ways for their responsiveness to be improved. One of the ways that they are currently trying to do this is through the...

Greenhouse gas emissions are receiving greater scrutiny in many countries due to international forces to reduce anthropogenic global climate change. Industry and their supply chains represent a major source of these emissions. This paper presents a tactical supply chain planning model that...

The present paper deals with the performance implications of service activities offshoring, meant as the delocalization of business services in foreign countries. Data have come from the Offshoring Research Network (ORN) and have been analysed using an Exploratory Factor Analysis to aggregate...

This paper studies both the benefits of leadtime information and the interrelationships among demand forecast information, leadtime uncertainty, and leadtime information, for improving inventory control performance. To this end, it explicitly incorporates both leadtime information and demand...

Global warming is an alarming issue for the whole humanity. The manufacturing and food supply chains are contributing significantly to the large-scale carbon emissions. Beef supply chain is one of the segments of food industry having considerable carbon footprint throughout its supply chain. The...

Despite the generally positive contribution of supply management capabilities to firm performance their respective routines require more depth of assessment. Using the resource-based view we examine four routines bundles comprising ostensive and performative aspects of supply management...

Most of the existing literature about the newsvendor problem mainly focused on choosing an optimal order quantity to maximize the expected profit of a risk-neutral newsvendor. However, some studies pointed out that in practice managers׳ decisions as to order quantities always deviate from the...

In this paper, we explore supply chain coordination issues arising out of green supply chain initiatives and explore the impact of cost sharing contract on the key decisions of supply chain players undertaking green initiatives. Our motivation comes from firms conducting pioneering work in the...
