Abstract

In the face of unexpected changes in their dynamic business environment, purchasing and supply chain (SC) managers have been challenged to boost SC resilience while maintaining their sustainability concerns. In this changing environment, this paper aims to explore: (1) how (social) sustainability affects SC resilience and (2) what the role of purchasing is for SC resilience. Through a dynamic capability view as the theoretical lens, we investigate whether and how an inclusive purchasing programme could enhance SC resilience capabilities to cope with the Covid-19 outbreak. We developed a Case study with various SC members of a multinational cosmetics company that, despite suffering from a sudden demand disruption during the outbreak, maintained its sustainability actions. The results show that four operational SC resilience capabilities were amplified: ‘visibility’, ‘adaptability’, ‘collaboration’ and ‘financial strength’. In addition, a new capability entitled ‘empowerment’ was mobilised during this period. These factors helped the inclusive purchasing maintenance and were essential to supporting social sustainability. In addition, our results show that sustainable PSM, which is overlooked in the literature, is key for SC resilience. This article contributes to theory and practice because it demonstrates the role and relevance of (inclusive) purchasing in a company's ability to cope with SC disruptions, such as those resulting from the outbreak.

包容性购买和供应链弹性能力:社会可持续性的经验教训
面对动态商业环境中意想不到的变化,采购和供应链(SC)管理者面临着在保持其可持续性关注的同时提高SC弹性的挑战。在这种不断变化的环境中,本文旨在探讨:(1)(社会)可持续性如何影响供应链弹性;(2)购买对供应链弹性的作用。通过动态能力视角作为理论视角,我们研究了包容性采购计划是否以及如何增强供应链应对Covid-19疫情的弹性能力。我们与一家跨国化妆品公司的多个SC成员开展了一个案例研究,该公司尽管在疫情爆发期间遭受了突然的需求中断,但仍保持了其可持续性行动。结果表明,四项业务供应链弹性能力被放大:“可见性”、“适应性”、“协作性”和“财务实力”。此外,在此期间调动了一种名为“授权”的新能力。这些因素有助于包容性采购维护,对支持社会可持续性至关重要。此外,我们的研究结果表明,在文献中被忽视的可持续PSM是SC弹性的关键。本文有助于理论和实践,因为它展示了(包容性)采购在公司应对供应链中断(如疫情造成的中断)的能力中的作用和相关性。
