“…Though firms are endeavoring to set SC goals consistent with well-defined performance indicators, the complexity of SCs makes the choice of indicators more complicated (Panayides and Lun, 2009;Seo et al, 2014). Drawing upon and in response to the call by Tsanos et al (2014), the present study considers two newly 364 IJOEM 15,2 developed SC performance metricsefficiency and effectivenesswhich are at SC level rather than at the firm level (De Haan and Sacristán-Díaz, 2016). These metrics capture the operational aspects of SC performance and are advantageous over using financial, tactical or flexibility aspects alone (Tsanos et al, 2014, p. 421).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential role of innovativeness in determining supply chain (SC) integration and to foster the SC performance of manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The study also proposes that the SC integration–performance relationship is contingent to the degree of environmental uncertainty (EU). Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 321 manufacturing SMEs working in Pakistan. Respondents were owners/CEOs/managers of the firms. Considering the formative nature of indicators of SC efficiency and effectiveness, partial least square-based structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings The results indicate that innovativeness positively influences the dimensions of SC integration which in turn affects SC efficiency and effectiveness. The results support the presence of moderation for the relationship between the dimensions of both SC integration and performance. The findings suggest that firms should endeavor to accomplish innovativeness and SC integration, as they jointly promote SC performance. Practical implications SMEs can use innovativeness as an important tool to increase SC integration and SC performance. For SMEs with a highly volatile and dynamic environment, managers should achieve SC integration and include external integration orientation at the strategic level in order to reap the greatest advantages from SC integration. Originality/value This study contributes to the SC literature by exploring the effect of the nascent determinant (innovativeness) of SC practices and performance to expand and deepen current understanding of the potential role of innovativeness in the SC context. Furthermore, considering EU as a moderator opens up new avenues of research to elucidate the SC integration–performance nexus in the emerging market context.

“…A supply chain is often shaped and pushed in certain directions as a consequence of the actions of the biggest/strongest organization in the chain, a position that can be referred to as the supply chain director [32]. Spence and Bourlakis [12] advocate the importance of long term commitment and partnership chain-wide in regards to the social responsibility in the supply chain, rather than one where the biggest/most dominant player in the chain (the 'watchdog') determines the others' activities in an effort for risk management.…”

Levers of Control for Supply Chain Sustainability: Control and Governance Mechanisms in a Cross-Boundary Setting

et al. 2020

The rise of global supply chains as well as attention to the Triple Bottom Line provides organizations with new conditions and strategy paradoxes to be dealt with when it comes to sustainability in supply chain management. This study of a large multinational organization with a strong Triple Bottom Line focus provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of control and governance mechanisms in supply chain context. Through the Levers of Control framework, the application of these mechanisms both internally and across organizational boundaries is shown. The interplay between levers helps in dealing with the in itself paradoxical nature of Triple Bottom Line goalsetting. The results show that the "softer" elements of the Triple Bottom Line, i.e., People and Planet, are approached with the lever associated with the beliefs system, which in turn enforces the boundary and interactive control systems. Ultimately, applying the Levers of Control in supply chain context might contribute to pursuing a holistic approach of sustainable supply chain management.

PurposeThis study investigates the supply chain efficiency of selected companies in the Indian food processing sector. Additionally, it explores the relationship between supply chain efficiency and firm performance.Design/methodology/approachTo determine the supply chain efficiency, the study uses supply chain efficiency measures, such as supply chain length, inefficiency ratio and working capital productivity. Secondary data were collected from the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) Prowess database for the years 2011–2017. Various return measures, such as Return on Net Worth (RONW), Return on Total Assets (ROTA) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), were used to measure firm performance. Collected data were analyzed to investigate the relationship between supply chain efficiency and firm performance.FindingsFindings of the study reveal the prevalence of inefficient supply chains in the context of the selected companies. There is a significant negative correlation between supply chain efficiency and firm performance. RONW has a significant negative correlation with the length of supply chain as well as supply chain inefficiency.Research limitations/implicationsThis study expands the limited existing research perspective; the study helps to understand the supply chain efficiency and firm performance.Originality/valueThis is an original piece of work and provides valuable insight into the relationship between supply chain efficiency and firm performance.
