“…There is a growing concern in the industry of the need to enhance knowledge management, and collaboration among stakeholders while countering the negative impacts of uncertainties. Therefore: Enhanced information sharing helps in (i) shared situational awareness, (ii) enhanced threat understanding and (iii) improved decision‐making (Cheng, Chen, & Chen, ). Monitoring satisfaction levels and investments in relationship marketing as well as managing loyalty programs could all help to enhance the level of trust in a supply chain (Konuk, Rahman, & Salo, ). By mitigating uncertainties, stakeholders in a supply chain can reduce extra costs and improve their bottom line (Wu et al, ). …”

The idea of sustainability has yet to enjoy its due share in service supply chains. There has been a dearth of literature in this area, predominantly regarding assessing the impact of collaborative attributes on supply chain sustainability. An integrated supply chain model comprising trust, information sharing and uncertainty practices is proposed here to assess their impact on the sustainability of service supply chains in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study conducts a comprehensive literature review to develop constructs and their items. Social exchange theory is used to link these constructs/variables to sustainability. These variables are linked to sustainability through social exchange theory of behaviors. Structural equation modeling is used to test five hypotheses pertaining to the impact of those constructs on sustainability. The results of this study can help managers align and prioritize their investments while targeting sustainability in their partnerships with numerous stakeholders. Several implications and limitations of the study are also outlined at the end of the paper.

“…Another contribution of the study is that it allows a greater understanding of the ESC controversy, linked to network pararadoxes (Hakansson and Ford, ), because ESC provides opportunities but also imposes restrictions. Relational risk may generate a negative impact on knowledge exchanged in inter‐firm relationships and it may produce a ‘dark‐side’ in the long‐term (Cheng et al ., ). Actors in a long‐term relationship are then likely to act opportunistically, may lose objectivity or generate a similar thought.…”

In this paper we analyse how external social capital affects innovativeness through knowledge acquisition. Specifically, we test the effect of density, trust and cognitive proximity on the innovativeness of firms and the mediating role of external knowledge acquisition to explain these relationships. We focus our empirical study upon the footwear industry in Spain, using partial least squares to test the proposed hypotheses. The main contribution of this study is to demonstrate how knowledge acquisition leads the firm's external social capital to innovativeness.

“…In the context of supply chain operations, studies on collaboration risk were carried out by Cheng and Chen (2016), and Cheng et al (2013). They have considered risk factors, such as institutional orientation, moral orientation, opportunistic behaviour, loss of competences, incomprehension, dysfunctional conflict, and no-learning.…”

Inter-agency collaboration is a well-established, yet very difficult process in public governance. Despite the fact that it is often unsuccessful, collaboration risk research is still undeveloped and the impact of this risk on the effectiveness of joint activities is still underestimated. This issue is of particular significance in public safety networks, where inter-agency collaboration processes are conducted under the conditions of the complexity and uncertainty. For this reason, the article is intended to: (1) identify factors of collaboration risk in public safety networks, (2) determine the impact of individual risk factors on inter-agency collaboration outcomes, (3) identify the relationship between risk factors of inter-agency collaboration in public safety networks, and (4) analyse the growth of this risk in public safety networks. These purposes were achieved using the Systematic Literature Review based on PRISMA Group methodology and Interpretive Structural Modelling together with MICMAC analysis. The applied research approach also has some limitations resulting from the number of experts. However, the results obtained allow us to better understand issues of inter-agency collaboration risk in public safety networks. They identify key collaboration risk factors, such as inappropriate collaboration rules and inadequate allocation of tasks and resources. In consequence, they indicate risk symptoms that are worth keeping track of in order to prevent collaboration ineffectiveness.
