“…RDT argues that firms rely on each other's environment to have access to essential resources such as materials, labor and cash (Salancik and Pfeffer, 1978). Several studies encourage firms to build harmonic, mutual and collaborative relationships among themselves (Shymko et al , 2012). SCT is a concept that requires the resources of external stakeholders for effective implementation.…”

PurposeThe priority giving to green practices in today's competitive market has made green logistics management practices (GLMPS) a significant driver of organizational performance. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of GLMPS, logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability on sustainability performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses structured questionnaires to gather data from 274 managers of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The partial least square structural equation modeling approach is used to analyze the data to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results obtained from the analysis indicate that GLMPS positively influence social sustainability and environmental sustainability. However, GLMPS negatively influence business performance. The results further reveal that logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability augment GLMPS to achieve significant improvement in both business performance and environmental sustainability through the mediation effect approach.Originality/valueThe study proposes a conceptual framework that tests the combined effect of GLMPs, logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability on environmental sustainability, social sustainability and business performance from the Ghanaian perspective.

“…Moreover, it was illustrated that the network could benefit from social and environmental points with respect to the innovation issue. Shymko and Diaz [13] addressed the mechanisms that trigger the sustainability of partnership model in buyersupplier relations. They investigated the role of context and actors in the dynamics of strategic alliance development and their effect on its subsequent sustainability.…”

Today's competitive world conditions and shortened product life cycles have led to the rise of attention towards new product development issue which can guarantee both growth and survival of organizations. The agility of new product development is directed by the efficiency and efficacy of knowledge management skills of an organization. A key issue in thorough success of such networks is the developed knowledge preservation amongst the members. Thus, it is important that reliable relations can be established between the members in order to promote further interactions. To do so, an integrated framework is developed in this paper to configure the new product development network so that sustainable collaborations can be maintained amongst the entities. The proposed framework consists of the network configuration in addition to the supplier selection phase. They are taken into consideration using a biobjective mathematical model in which incurred costs and suppliers' superiority determine the final configuration of the network. Finally, different numerical instances are solved to address the applicability of the proposed model.

“…The above theories pay attention to the inter-organizational elements of strategic alliances, the contingency theory instead suggests that the external environment has a great impact on organizational structure and functioning [15][16][17]. Contingency theories claim that the efficacy of a firm's strategy is linked to various environmental or contextual factors, and the performance is a function of the congruence between the organization and the external environment [18,19].…”

Leveraging Complementary Resources through Relational Capital to Improve Alliance Performance under an Uncertain Environment: A Moderated Mediation Analysis

Integrating the resource-based theory, the relational view, and the contingency theory, this research advances the strategic alliance literature by providing a theoretical framework that explains alliance outcomes from both the inter-organizational and the external environmental perspectives. Specifically, we analyzed the effect of complementary resources on alliance performance through the mechanism of relational capital in an uncertain environment. We also explored the moderating roles of environmental dynamism and environmental hostility in the indirect relationship between resource complementarity and alliance performance with a moderated mediation model. Based on the empirical evidence from a survey of 210 alliance firms, we found that complementary resources that a firm can access from its strategic alliance motivate it to invest relational capital in the partnership, which in turn improves alliance performance. However, the positive link between resource complementarity and relational capital is attenuated under a highly dynamic environment. More importantly, results of the moderated mediation analysis suggest that the mediating effect of relational capital between resource complementarity and alliance performance is stronger when the environment is less dynamic, but this effect is not moderated by environmental hostility. These findings imply that complementary resources are critical antecedents of alliance performance, yet firms could not leverage the value of complementary resources to achieve alliance success without sound relational mechanisms or the ability to adapt to the uncertain environment.
