摘要

全球供应链往往在全球北方和南方之间不公平地分配价值。这使贫困永久化,并导致原材料生产国的工作不体面,从而给可持续发展带来挑战。几十年来,企业社会责任、社会企业家精神和可持续商业模式创新旨在通过公平贸易、替代贸易和直接贸易等方式,在全球价值链中更公平地分配价值。本文探讨了一种新颖的、迄今未被充分研究的全球供应链公平价值分配创新:"价值链利润分享"。我们从两个咖啡行业社会企业家案例的访谈和档案数据中,建立了一个通用模型。该模式的主要特点之一是,企业家根据市场情况分多次向供应商付款(而不是根据预测一次性付款)。我们展示了这如何能提高价值创造、占有和公平分配。尽管我们的研究表明,这种模式可能在很大程度上取决于领导者的技能、资源、位置感以及对供应商的责任感,但我们没有发现任何证据表明这种模式的应用仅限于特定的国家或行业。我们的研究进一步扩展了现有理论,说明了 "价值链利润分享 "如何缓解与可持续商业模式经常相关的一些紧张关系,包括在保持财务清偿能力的同时向供应商分配价值;在追求社会使命的同时创造价值;在向供应商提供利益的同时不减少其市场机会;在保持对供应商承诺的同时应对市场条件;以及在不稀释利益的情况下扩大规模。因此,本报告对可持续商业模式创新、全球供应链中的公平价值分配、收入分享合同的新颖应用以及利润分享的创新方法等方面的文献做出了贡献。此外,它还为旨在实现更公平的价值分配和可持续供应链的社会企业家、企业社会责任实践者和供应商合作社提供了可操作的指导。

How can sustainable business models distribute value more equitably in global value chains? Introducing “value chain profit sharing” as an emerging alternative to fair trade, direct trade, or solidarity trade
Global supply chains often distribute value inequitably among the Global North and South. This perpetuates poverty and contributes to indecent work in raw material-producing countries, thus creating challenges to sustainable development. For decades, corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, and sustainable business model innovations have aimed to distribute value more equitably across global value chains, for instance via fair trade, alternative trade, and direct trade. This article examines a novel and hitherto understudied innovation for equitable value distribution in global supply chains: “value chain profit sharing.” We draw on interview and archival data from two cases of social entrepreneurs working in the coffee sector to develop a generalized model. One of the model's key features is that the entrepreneur pays suppliers in multiple installments that reflect market conditions (as opposed to a single lump sum based on prediction). We show how this can increase value creation, appropriation, and equitable distribution. Although our research suggests that this model may be highly contingent on leaders' skills, resources, sense of place, and accountability to suppliers, we find no evidence that its applications are limited to specific countries or sectors. Our research further extends extant theory by showing how “value chain profit sharing” may relieve some of the tensions often associated with sustainable business models, including distributing value to suppliers while maintaining financial solvency; creating value while pursuing a social mission; providing benefits to suppliers without curtailing their market opportunities; responding to market conditions while maintaining commitments to suppliers; and scaling without diluting benefits. It thereby contributes to the literatures on sustainable business model innovations, equitable value distribution in global supply chains, novel application of revenue-sharing contracts, and innovative methods of profit sharing. It furthermore provides actionable guidance for social entrepreneurs, corporate social responsibility practitioners, and supplier cooperatives aiming to achieve more equitable value distribution and sustainable supply chains.
