The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of corporate sustainable development on green purchasing. A conceptual model was recommended and empirically tested to identify the relationship of corporate sustainable development (environmental development, economic development and social development) towards green purchasing. Questionnaires were sent to all 621 ISO 14001 qualified manufacturing corporations in Malaysia and a total of 146 responses were obtained. A regression analysis was conducted to analyse the data and to test the hypotheses that corporate sustainable development has a positive effect towards green purchasing. Findings of this study identified that all three facets of corporate sustainable development (environmental development, economic development and social development) has a positive effect towards green purchasing. These results present empirical evidence concerning the significant relationship of corporate sustainable development towards green purchasing among ISO 14001 qualified manufacturing companies in Malaysia.

Sustainable development is a widely spread concept nowadays, especially due to external pressure related to environmental and social issues, affecting all players of the supply chain. Sustainable policies must be adopted, such as improving process performance and reducing waste. With sustainability as a driver of operational excellence, this study is focused on the improvement of the production process of a company by reducing variability. A variability analysis was done to understand its root causes and act upon them, as well as a quantification of waste in the process. Finally, an improvement plan was delineated to mitigate the problems identified.

Nearly one third of food produced globally is wasted during storage and transportation activities along the supply chain. While cold chains are becoming an imperative fragment in most developed countries, in developing countries there is huge loss incurred due to poor supply chain management practices. The main objective of this study is to identify the contributing factors to facilitate cold chain sustainability. The paper highlights inadequacies in existing literature in cold chain management area to maintain food quality. The research used data collected in five different industries in Sri Lanka. Significant factors were identified using analytical methods such as exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and factor-based relationship model was derivate using structural equation modelling technique. The work is original in the way authors' integrated sustainability across the three key factors that identified along cold chain. The context can be used by researchers and practitioners to develop practical sustainable cold chain performance framework.

Firms have learned how to strengthen the resilience of their global supply chains (SC) to confront disruptions triggered by severe disasters. However, a new instigator of SC disruption, quite unlike any seen in recent times, has now emerged – the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 virus. We model the ripple effect of an epidemic outbreak in global SCs considering the velocity of pandemic propagation, the duration of production, distribution and market disruption, and a demand decline. We analyse pandemic supply risk mitigation measures and potential recovery paths. Implications for future research and global SC (re)-designs are also discussed.

This paper studies the relationship between integration of buyer-seller intellectual capital and innovation performance. It hypothesises and tests the extent to which similarity in the organisational and human capital held by buyer-seller firms helps in this integration enhancing radical and incremental innovation amidst the relational capital and power present in the supply chain. The paper introduces two new constructs: organisational capital similarity and human capital similarity. Hypotheses were tested using data from a web-administered survey of purchasing managers in Canada. Results indicate that the management of intellectual capital to drive incremental and radical innovation in supply chains should focus on building organisational capital similarity and human capital similarity respectively. Power exercise decreases radical innovation while not impacting incremental innovation; and relational capital increases both forms of innovation. Neither relational capital nor power moderated the effect of organisational and human capital similarity on incremental and radical innovation respectively.

Industry 4.0 describes a concept for horizontal and vertical interconnection on the basis of cyber-physical systems and the internet of things. The implementation within single factories has been given predominant consideration so far, but the implications across entire supply chains are less understood. Likewise, lean management principles have been partially described as a prerequisite for Industry 4.0, but also as being in conflict with the aims of Industry 4.0. In response, this paper presents the results of a systematic literature review, highlighting the potentials of Industry 4.0 for lean management within the six dimensions of the supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model. Further, potentially contradictory aspects of Industry 4.0 and lean management are presented, in particular regarding the implementation of Industry 4.0 across the supply chain, and ecological and social aspects that are in conflict with economic targets of lean management. Thereupon, the paper presents avenues for future research and managerial practice.

Although researchers have used multiple organisation theories such as transaction cost theory (TCT), resource-based view (RBV), social exchange theory (SET) and resource dependence theory (RDT) to understand governance mechanisms used in sourcing, our understanding of the effectiveness of various sourcing governance mechanisms in a dynamic business context have been inadequate. This is partly because the 'contextual dynamics' has not been kept in perspective while utilising different theories in studies concerning various governance mechanisms. Inadequate consideration of the contextual dynamics has affected the ability to decide the right governance mechanisms over time. As a remedy, we delineate a conceptual framework that considers simultaneous use of multiple modes of governance and their adjustment over time to match the dynamic business contingencies. We incorporate the product life cycle (PLC) framework in characterising the 'contextual dynamics' of sourcing and use of TCT, RBV, SET and RDT tenets to argue that use of 'multiple-modes' of governance can be effective in addressing evolving sourcing needs over time. Our study contributes to theory development by explaining the whys, how and when of 'multiple-modes' governance over time. Managerial implications, limitations and future research opportunities are also discussed.

Literature shows that supply chain risk management (SCRM) has often been involved with increased costs. However, in this paper, we propose a proactive approach to manage the supply chain risk (SCR) with minimal or no cost increases. The basis of this SCRM strategy is dual-sourcing. Moreover, we limit the selection of suppliers with their associated risks by considering suppliers' locations, corporate groups, and next tier suppliers. We test the model with different datasets to examine the relationships between suppliers' costs, corporate group membership, location, and upstream supply chain. In certain conditions, by adding an insignificant amount of cost, our proposed model can design a robust supply chain network. Finally, to demonstrate the applicability of the model, we propose a method to quantify the probability of risk before and after each stage of our model. The results illustrate the impact of our model and scenarios with the best outcome.

Remanufacturing is widely practiced because it reduces landfill, saves energy, and conserves natural resources. Little effort is given to exploring the acceptance of remanufactured products, especially the short life-cycle ones. Indonesia, the fourth-largest mobile phone users, needs to tackle the vast WEEE deriving from obsolete mobile phones. This study investigates drivers and barriers of consumer purchase intention for remanufactured mobile phones. Thirteen respondents were interviewed, representing different age groups, genders, and social classes. The key drivers are the affordable price, upgraded specification, and product warranty, while the regulatory concern, trend concern, and obsolescence concern are the main barriers. Perceived quality and quality assurance can be both drivers and barriers, depending on the level. This study recommends remanufacturers to focus on providing upgraded specification at an affordable price and providing information about the remanufacturing process. This study also argues the urgency for the government to enforce rigorous regulation against counterfeit products.
