PurposeThis paper aims to adopt the strategy-structure-performance (SSP) framework to explore how proactive social strategy could motivate firms to collaborate with suppliers on social sustainability initiatives, and how such collaborative efforts could unlock a win-win opportunity for both noneconomic (social performance) and economic (operational performance) performance. Additionally, drawing on the tenets of the social exchange theory, the different moderating effects of distributive justice and procedural justice on the social collaboration-performance relationship are also examined.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses survey data collected from 215 manufacturing companies in China. The proposed hypotheses are tested using multiple linear regression models as well as the PROCESS macro within SPSS.FindingsThe results suggest that (1) a proactive social strategy could motivate firms to collaborate with suppliers on joint social activities and (2) social collaboration with suppliers can have a significant positive effect on both social and operational performance. The moderation results suggest that distributive justice has a differential effect on the collaboration-performance link. Particularly, distributive justice strengthens the relationship between social collaboration and operational performance, while it weakens the relationship between social collaboration and social performance. Surprisingly, procedural justice did not have a significant moderating effect on the social collaboration-performance link.Originality/valueThis paper extends the SSP framework to the social sustainability context by not only stressing the importance of proactivity in managing sustainability, but also revealing collaboration as a structural aspect that could achieve superior performance benefits. This study also contributes to sustainable supply chain literature by exploring the moderating roles of justice elements.

“…Sharing information through the supply chain is one of the important factors for being competitive in the market, sharing sources and skills, receiving information about rules, regulations, and laws, and collaborating with partners for better performance, and so on (Arfi et al, 2018; Solér et al, 2010; Zhou et al, 2020). Furthermore, information sharing helps to make accurate, timely and relevant information available to decision makers (Botta‐Genoulaz & Pellegrin, 2013). For this reason, sharing knowledge through the food supply chain is one tool for being competitive in the market.…”

“…From a circular economy and its principles point of view, the coordination of information and materials flow is vital, especially in terms of managing raw materials, quality, and quantity of products need to be collected. Coordination with internal and external members and coordination with different flows of information among the supply chain is crucial for organizations (Botta‐Genoulaz & Pellegrin, 2013). Information technologies help to keep the data together with materials in the process and enable them to use waste as resources.…”

Rapid and dynamic changes in environment, technologies, consumer behavior, policy making, and climate are putting extra pressure to food supply chain, especially in terms of efficiently manage food security, food surplus, food loss, and waste. These changes directly affect food supply chain negatively. Thus, transition into more circular approach for green business growth in food supply chains is a necessity. One way to reduce this negativity is to ensure the share of information along the chain. With this context, sharing information and knowledge among the food supply chain can facilitate practices from a circularity and green perspectives. Hence, this research focuses on understanding and revealing knowledge‐sharing networks challenges, barriers, and benefits across every food supply chain layer, presenting tangible contributions to improve traceability in circularity perspectives with refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, recycle, and recover challenges. Therefore, and to provide a green business growth, this study examines the practice of knowledge sharing among real‐life industry food stakeholders in the meat sector regarding their dimensions, what type of knowledge is shared and whether there are differences among specific groups of food stakeholders for the knowledge sharing. The aim of this research is to generate a validated conceptual framework to reveal how information technologies contributes to a more efficient knowledge sharing practices, hence, to impact the enhancement of efficient circular food supply chains for green business growth.

“…Among these, the key importance of information and material (physical flow) coordination within and between organizations has been emphasized by numerous OM scholars (e.g. Botta-Genoulaz and Pellegrin, 2010;Byrne and Heavey, 2006;Forrester, 1958;Fugate et al, 2010;Lau et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2013;Paulraj et al, 2008;Ramanathan, 2012;Sahin and Robinson, 2005;Wu et al, 2014). Information flow is considered as a basic dimension of coordination and is the foundation of any collaborative relationship (Botta-Genoulaz and Pellegrin, 2010).…”

The flow and coordination of information has significant impact on production schedules as well as inventory control (Handley and Benton, 2013;Holweg and Pil, 2008;Narasimhan and Nair, 2005;Perols et al, 2013).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address the issue of supply management coordination among a prominent contact lens company (customer), its carton supplier (first tier), and paperboard supplier (second tier). Adopting concepts within the theory of swift and even flow, the authors integrate the physical (material) and information flow among these supply partners to ensure higher productivity through timely production and distribution of the cartons, which reduced the lead-times and inventory levels at the three companies in this supply chain. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a longitudinal case study (action research (AR)), which combines qualitative and quantitative analyses. Observations over time, documents such as contracts, joint agreements, meeting agendas and minutes, personal conversations, and in-depth interviews were mainly used, with quantitative measurement of operational performance. Findings – The complete solution to eliminate waste and improve the existing system is provided, as well as the ordering process solution in the form of service level models. The results of the study proved supply management coordination to be a pioneering approach in reducing inventory, reducing the safety stock at the buyer’s facility, improving the forecasts, lowering the product delivery lead-times, and establishing an information system throughout the three tiers of the supply chain. Originality/value – The paper draws upon real-life data from a three echelon supply chain in the manufacturing industry. Combining this triadic focus with action-based research makes it a unique opportunity to reveal insights into the issue of coordination among supply chain members and consequent performance outcomes.
