Abstract
The climate crisis requires a focus on supply chain emissions—both upstream and downstream. Although supply chain emissions typically account for the majority of a company's greenhouse gas emissions, the discipline of supply chain management (SCM) has yet to fully engage in this discourse, leaving substantial research opportunities untapped. This editorial calls upon SCM scholars to take responsibility and actively engage in the study of supply chain emissions by proposing a comprehensive research agenda. The authors explore emerging corporate interventions aimed at reducing supply chain emissions. They develop a framework categorizing these interventions as either collaborative or authoritative, targeting behavioral or operational changes. Based on this framework, research opportunities within SCM are then discussed, following four different styles of theorizing—propositional, processual, perspectival and provocative—to promote theoretical advancements. By embracing this research agenda, the SCM discipline can play a critical role in the supply chain emissions discourse and have a strong societal impact.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Supply Chain Management
Mission:
The mission of the Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM) is to be the premier choice among supply chain management scholars from various disciplines. It aims to attract high-quality, impactful behavioral research that focuses on theory building and employs rigorous empirical methodologies.
Article Requirements:
An article published in JSCM must make a significant contribution to supply chain management theory. This contribution can be achieved through either an inductive, theory-building process or a deductive, theory-testing approach. This contribution may manifest in various ways, such as falsification of conventional understanding, theory-building through conceptual development, inductive or qualitative research, initial empirical testing of a theory, theoretically-based meta-analysis, or constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory.
Theoretical Contribution:
Manuscripts should explicitly convey the theoretical contribution relative to the existing supply chain management literature, and when appropriate, to the literature outside of supply chain management (e.g., management theory, psychology, economics).
Empirical Contribution:
Manuscripts published in JSCM must also provide strong empirical contributions. While conceptual manuscripts are welcomed, they must significantly advance theory in the field of supply chain management and be firmly grounded in existing theory and relevant literature. For empirical manuscripts, authors must adequately assess validity, which is essential for empirical research, whether quantitative or qualitative.
