“…There exists a large body of literature documenting issues associated with QR strategy (Iyer and Bergen, 1997; Choi and Sethi, 2010; Wang et al., 2020). In this stream of research, QR is often perceived as a way to reduce lead times and enhance supply flexibility (Fisher and Raman, 1996; Wen et al., 2019). Some studies investigate the value of QR, which are closely related to this work.…”

To better integrate online businesses with offline stores, fast‐fashion retailers roll out the “ship‐to‐store” (STS) initiative, which is an omnichannel fulfillment method that allows consumers to order online and have their parcels delivered to selected stores for pickup. To study the impact of STS on fast‐fashion operations, we consider four scenarios: multichannel retailing, multichannel retailing with quick response (QR), omnichannel retailing with STS, and omnichannel retailing with both STS and QR. Moreover, we investigate how STS influences the value of QR. The results show that although STS benefits firms in many situations, STS under a QR strategy can reduce a retailer's profits when inventory information disclosure due to STS dampens cross‐selling opportunities. Our findings also reveal that the implementation of STS may lower the value of QR when customers who encounter stockouts offline opt to purchase online directly rather than use STS.

“…However, the applicability of findings of research aimed at identifying the best practices is limited, and it is difficult to generalize its results [18]. Therefore, scholars emphasize the need for more quantitative analyses, real-life case studies, and multi-product and multi-period analyses [82]. In this study, we treat the practice variability index as an empirical construct covering a set of activities undertaken in the product development cycle and in untypical situations (especially those involving untypical orders).…”

“…Collective activities performed with the use of organizational resources may contribute to new value and new practice institutionalization. Considering the fact that research in the textile and apparel industry focuses on a plethora of practices [18][19][20][21][81][82][83], this research proposes an approach in which the first stage is concerned with looking for schemas of action, characteristic of the given sector (i.e., practice variability index) and the second stage identifies the effect on change of these schemas. This will make it possible to identify areas that prove to be important for the textile and apparel industry in the context of sustainable change emergence.…”

The article is aimed at working out a comprehensive perspective on sustainable incremental change in organizations from a practice-based approach. That perspective presents everyday routine organizational practices as loci of sustainable organizational change. The research conducted reveals sustainability aspects that influence incremental change in the product development cycle in textile and apparel enterprises. The short life cycle of textile and apparel products challenges the multiplicity of sustainability aspects in that industry. The sequential procedure of mixing quantitative and qualitative methods was applied. A quantitative study was followed by qualitative research that was aimed at gaining an idiographic perspective. The statistical procedure was applied to determine the associative relationships between sustainable dynamizing factors and practice variability in textile and apparel enterprises. The influence factors were further explored as part of in-depth qualitative research. The qualitative research referred to three main aspects of sustainable practices at the initial production stage (sustainable water use), the last stages of the textile and garment life cycle (disposal and recycling of unwanted materials), and value (co)creation in the apparel industry. The results put emphasis on spontaneous vs. purposive activities in sustainable practice.

“…The supply chain has been rigorously applied in various applications ranging from agriculture-food products [10] [11] to the vaccination [12], fashion apparels [13], wind turbines [14] and even in healthcare [15]. All of these applications are having a strong correlation with intermediaries as an integral part of supply chain.…”

A distributed and transparent ledger system is considered for various e-commerce products including health medicines, electronics, security appliances, food products and many more to ensure technological and e-commerce sustainability. This solution, named as 'PRODCHAIN', is a generic blockchain framework with lattice-based cryptographic processes for reducing the complexity for tracing the ecommerce products. Moreover, we have introduced a rating based consensus process called Proof of Accomplishment (PoA). The solution has been analyzed and experimental studies are performed on Ethereum network. The results are discussed in terms of latency and throughput which prove the efficiency of PRODCHAIN in e-commerce products and services.The presented solution is beneficial for improving the traceability of the products ensuring the social and financial sustainability. This work will help the researchers to gain knowledge about the blockchain implications for supply chain possibilities in future developments for society.
