摘要

全球组织间系统(如供应链、网络或行业)的可持续性转型往往面临着各种矛盾。这包括跨国企业(MNEs)及其商业伙伴(通常是中小型企业(SMEs))必须驾驭的可持续性张力和全球-本地张力。特别是,全球战略与本地环境之间的紧张关系对跨国企业积极主动地管理可持续发展提出了挑战。我们运用悖论视角来理解跨国企业如何处理全球组织间体系中的可持续发展紧张关系。我们的研究聚焦于一个在欧洲和中国运营的跨组织系统,该系统由食品包装行业的四家跨国企业领导,正在向使用生物基塑料过渡。我们的研究结果表明,虽然跨国企业采取了全球性的可持续发展方法,但它们的努力往往受到当地环境的阻碍,使可持续发展转型停滞不前。本研究在以下两个方面为相关文献做出了贡献:(1)我们将紧张局势概念化,将其视为组织间系统内可持续转型的潜在突破点,认为跨国企业可以通过采用全球方法进行悖论管理来有效解决这些紧张局势。(2) 我们证明,组织间系统内的紧张关系往往是复杂的结链的一部分,多国企业及其商业伙伴必须合作解决这些问题。

When Global is Not Enough: Applying a Paradox Lens to Sustainability Transitions in Interorganizational Systems

Sustainability transitions within global interorganizational systems, such as supply chains, networks, or industries, often face various knotted tensions. These include both sustainability tensions and global-local tensions that multinational enterprises (MNEs) and their business partners, often small and medium enterprises (SMEs), must navigate. Particularly, the tension between global strategies and local contexts challenges MNEs' proactive approaches to managing sustainability emerges. We apply a paradox lens to understand how MNEs address sustainability tensions within global interorganizational systems. Our study focuses on an interorganizational system operating in Europe and China, directed by four MNEs within the food packaging industry, as it transitions to using bio-based plastics. Our findings reveal that while the MNEs adopt a global approach to sustainability, their efforts are often hampered by local circumstances, stalling the sustainability transition. This study contributes to the literature in two ways: (1) We conceptualize tensions as potential breaking points in sustainability transitions within interorganizational systems, arguing that MNEs can effectively address these tensions by adopting a glocal approach to paradox management. (2) We demonstrate that tensions within interorganizational systems often form part of complex, knotted chains that MNEs and their business partners must collaboratively address.
