“…Therefore, the null hypotheses are rejected in the light of statistical evidence. Hence, the findings are consistent with the work of Fung et al (2000) and Mani et al (2015). The funnel approach has shownthat organizationswith more than 15-years operating duration have a higher preference for the implementation of environmental and social sustainability (environmental sustainability = 59% and social sustainability = 63%).…”

“…Since there is evidence against the null hypothesis,therefore,the authorsreject it. The studyis aligned with the work of Fung et al (2000). In-depth analysis revealsthat Environmental sustainability is higher in Canada in contrast to Iran and Turkey (68% compared to 28% and 31%).…”

“…Statistical results have shown that environmental sustainability has a highly significant impact on the size of the enterprise (P < α; 0.000 < 0.05, Table 3). Therefore, the authorsreject the null hypothesis by confirming the work of R. Fung et al (2000). Funnel approach further revealsthat moderate organizationshave a higher preference for environmental sustainability in contrast to relatively smaller organizations (52% compared to 31%).…”

“…Measurement systems, information and recognition of technology are major barriers to the implementation of a successful supply chain (Fawcett, Magnan and McCarter, 2008). The environmental sustainability improves due to the adoption of environmentally friendly practices in the supply chain management process (Fung, Morton and Chong, 2000). On the other hand, the study confirmsthat the integration of environmental and social criteria within SCM is vital in growing diverse socio-economic context (Harms, 2011).…”

Supply chain management is quite important management tool in corporations, however it seem to be more used in small and medium enterprises as well. This research investigates supply chain management in total 613 SMEs of Canada, Iran and Turkey to explore SMEs practices in global context. Results confirmed SCM's determinants, factors, barriers, practices, functioning, environmental and social sustainability statistically significantly differ in contrasting economies while only SCM determinants do not significantly differ for the size of entity. The SMEs' length duration also affected the considered attributes. Apart from SCM determinants all other factors have no significant relationship with the designation whereas types of industry significantly affect the types of practices and functioning within SCM. Lastly, this paper theorizes that the environmental and social sustainability have significant relation with the type of industry.

Sustainable supply chain management has been an issue in both literature and business practice since the 1990s. Both the development phases and the definition range (including the complexity and number of individual processes) have been subject to changes and modifications over the years. The multitude of definitions and theoretical scope is a barrier to the implementation of the concept in economic practice. The aim of this paper is to show how it has evaluated the concept and thematic scope in theoretical point of view and in relation to its practical implementation. The research was carried out using content analysis methods, as well as selected case studies. The most important findings include: a presentation and change in the understanding and application of SSCM; bibliometric analysis with an interpretation of the state, volume and scope of SC research; directions and trends in research including the identification of research gaps that may be a basis for further research.

Strategic SCM’s Mediating Effect on the Sustainable Operations: Multinational Perspective

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Purpose: The comparative cross-sectional study examines the strategic supply chain management’s mediating effect on the sustainable operations through environmental and social sustainability within the businesses operating in Canada, Iran and Turkey to attain global perspective. Methodology: Over 200 small businesses in each country are included through combining purposive sampling, referrals, networking, and connections. For quantitative data analysis, the Smart partial least square structural equation modeling (SmartPLS-SEM) is employed. Results: Results showed that there is statistically significant positive mediating role of strategic supply chain on the sustainable operations (environmental and social sustainable) performances in all three selected economies. Findings further confirmed that within the multinational perspective, the SCM factors have higher significant positive impact within Canada in contrast to Iran and Turkey. Conclusion: This study offers a new theoretical contribution by examining the mediating role of strategic supply chain from multinational perspective to enhance existing body of knowledge. Furthermore, it offers a practical contribution by providing the strategic research framework to facilitate managers in improving the small businesses’ performance in sustaining operations.
