Abstract
Purpose By January 1, 2023, the German supply chain due diligence act (SCDDA) has become effective. This represents a strong governmental intervention into global operations and supply chain management (SCM). Hence, its frame conditions and implications are worth being studied. Design/methodology/approach Expert interviews with managers reveal factors of risks and opportunities as well as performance impacts and implementation issues. Findings A conceptual framework and research avenues are outlined. Research limitations/implications Pathways for SCM research and interdisciplinary studies are suggested. Practical implications Practitioners may gain a deeper understanding of relevant factors for managing supply chains (SCs) that are exposed to the new act. Social implications Understanding implications of the act may help improve social SC sustainability. Originality/value This study offers an initial empirical exploration and a first conceptualization of the expected consequences of the German SCDDA.
期刊介绍：
The mission of the International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM) is to publish cutting-edge, innovative research with the potential to significantly advance the field of Operations and Supply Chain Management, both in theory and practice. Drawing on experiences from manufacturing and service sectors, in both private and public contexts, the journal has earned widespread respect in this complex and increasingly vital area of business management.
Methodologically, IJOPM encompasses a broad spectrum of empirically-based inquiry using suitable research frameworks, as long as they offer generic insights of substantial value to operations and supply chain management. While the journal does not categorically exclude specific empirical methodologies, it does not accept purely mathematical modeling pieces. Regardless of the chosen mode of inquiry or methods employed, the key criteria are appropriateness of methodology, clarity in the study's execution, and rigor in the application of methods. It's important to note that any contribution should explicitly contribute to theory. The journal actively encourages the use of mixed methods where appropriate and valuable for generating research insights.
