“…CAS are considered able to address the range of governance issues associated with the complexity and interconnectivity of industrial supply chains, such as system-level optimisation, improved incentives alignment and better resource allocation (Choi et al , 2001; Nair et al , 2009; Pathak et al , 2007). CAS frameworks are also more attuned to supply chain innovation and are more representative of the increasing structural and behavioural complexity of supply chains (Hollstein et al , 2017; Pathak et al , 2009; Provan and Kenis, 2008), whereas more traditional approaches tend to focus on engineering and operations management and address technical and logistical aspects of supply chain organisation and performance. However, in practice, hierarchical and linear supply chain models are most common (Nair et al , 2009; Pathak et al , 2007).…”

“…Network governance relies on coordination and the self-organisation and motivation of independent actors, who are involved in complex relationships and interactions (Keating et al , 2015). It depends on a set of instruments, as well as mechanisms, that can be used to coordinate network organisations to deliver collective outcomes and participate in cooperative decision-making (Hollstein et al , 2017). This is in contrast to coordination mechanisms based on hierarchy or market regulations.…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose an empirically grounded governance framework based on complex adaptive systems (CAS) principles to facilitate formation of well-connected regional supply chains that foster economic development, adaptability and resilience of mining regions. Design/methodology/approach This study is an exploratory case study of the South Australian (SA) mining industry that includes 38 semi-structured interviews with the key stakeholders and structural analysis of the regional supply network (RSN). Findings Findings demonstrate the applicability of the CAS framework as a structured approach to the governance of the mining industry regional supply chains. In particular, the findings exemplify the relationship between RSN governance, its structure and interconnectivity and their combined impact on the adaptability and resilience of mining regions. Research limitations/implications The data set analysed in the current study is static. Longitudinal data would permit a deeper insight into the evolution of the RSN structure and connectivity. The validity of the proposed framework could be further strengthened by being applied to other industrial domains and geographical contexts. Practical/implications The proposed framework offers a novel insight for regional policy-makers striving to create an environment that facilitates the formation of well-integrated regional supply chains in mining regions through more focussed policy and strategies. Originality/value The proposed framework is one of the first attempts to offer a holistic structured approach to governance of the regional supply chains based on CAS principles. With the current transformative changes in the global mining industry, policy-makers and supply chain practitioners have an urgent need to embrace CAS and network paradigms to remain competitive in the twenty-first century.

Purpose The competitiveness of mining regions largely depends on the performance of the regional supply chains that provide services to mining companies. These local supply chains are often highly intertwined and represent a regional supply network for the industry. Individual companies often use supply chain strategies that are sub-optimal to overall supply network performance. To effectively respond to an uncertain business environment, policy-makers and supply chain participants would benefit by a governance framework that would allow to incentivise the formation of supply networks structures enabling effective operations. The purpose of this paper is to offer an empirically grounded conceptual framework based on Complex Adaptive Systems (CASs) governance principles, which links network governance mechanisms with supply network structure and operational performance to incentivise the formation of adaptive and resilient supply networks in the mining industry. Design/methodology/approach A mixed method research design and a case study of the South Australian mining sector were used to collect empirical data. Qualitative interviews and network analysis of the SA mining industry regional supply network structure were conducted. The relationships between network parameters were interpreted using CAS theory. Findings An empirically grounded conceptual framework based on CAS governance principles is developed. The case study revealed that supply chain strategies and governance mechanisms in the SA mining industry have led to the formation of a hierarchical, scale-free structure with insufficient horizontal connectivity which limits the adaptability, responsiveness and resilience of the regional supply network. Research limitations/implications The findings are drawn from a single case study. This limits generalisability of the findings and the proposed framework. Practical implications The proposed framework draws the attention of the policy-makers and supply chain participants towards the need for utilising CAS governance principles to facilitate the formation of adaptive, responsive and resilient regional supply networks in the mining industry. Originality value The proposed conceptual framework is an attempt to parameterise the governance of the regional supply networks in the mining industry.

“…Traditional governance structures are hierarchical in nature, often based on top-down systems of regulation. This approach does not adequately meet the demands of contemporary research and translation that is transnational and involves a range of participants (medical experts, NGOs, consumers) and complex organizational processes 10 requiring top-down and bottom-up processes. Equally, traditional approaches do not address implementation challenges such as influencing practice across diverse health systems requiring local adaptation without compromising research and translation fidelity.…”

“…Networked governance is a "… research paradigm that focuses on processes of coordinating, reaching, and implementing decisions that take place in network(ed) (social) structures." 10 The network described in this paper encompassed 6 continents, 37 societies, and 67 expert participants, collaborating over a 3-year period. The challenges of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) guideline development project, which were large in scale and complex in nature, were effectively met through the establishment of a robust governance structure and rigorous processes.…”

In this paper, we describe the robust governance structures and processes underpinning the development of the first (2018). The guideline was an outcome of the Centre of Research Excellence for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and an example of a transformative, strategic research initiative to impact delivery model. The governance structure supported and delivered critical ethical and regulatory outcomes, including: broad and diverse representation across health professional and consumer groups and exceeded regulatory standards; adherence to rigorous knowledge creation processes; and compliance with the standards for guidelines set by the approval body, the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Well-articulated and appropriately implemented governance structures that meet the complex nature of contemporary research and translation activities are essential to enable distributed leadership and to deliver key outcomes.
