“…There has been some research on designing for modularity and designing for disassembly (Baumgarten, Klinkner, & Sommer-Dittrich, 2004) as well as on eco-design or designing for environmental sustainability (Johanssen, 2002;Sroufe, Curvokic, Motabon, & Melnyk, 2000). However, such ecological design principles also call for greater customer participation and closer customer relationships (Johanssen, 2002).…”

“…Yet, they also point out that the "siloed" and tactical approaches that most businesses and researchers have adopted ignore the more strategic issues related to CLSC management. In a world where resource scarcity is a growing threat, CLSC management will be increasingly viewed as a strategic capability that could enable a firm to leverage access to natural resources to which competitors may no longer have access (Baumgarten et al, 2004).…”

Purpose -This research aims to provide a theoretical framework for exploring how firms can respond to the growing threat of natural resource scarcity. Specifically, the role of closed-loop supply chain management is examined as a means for creating resource advantages that can lead to marketplace competitive advantages. Design/methodology/approach -The research extends previous theoretical research, integrating natural resource scarcity and closed-loop supply chain management for the first time. Resource-advantage theory is employed as the theoretical lens for the research model and propositions. Findings -The findings deepen understanding of the forces that create natural resource scarcity conditions in the supply chain, and highlight the need for higher order closed-loop capabilities that have the ability to mitigate natural resource scarcity.Research limitations/implications -The theoretical model and six research propositions suggest relationships between natural resource scarcity, closed-loop capabilities, and firm level performance that need to be tested empirically. Future research opportunities and methodologies are suggested. Practical implications -Growing natural resource scarcity is already having a major impact on many firms and industries; therefore, this research has significant managerial implications due to supply risks and potential disruptions caused by insufficient natural resources in current and future supply chains. Originality/value -This paper seeks to increase discussion about natural resource scarcity and bring it into focus as a relevant supply chain topic related to closed-loop supply chain capabilities and the internal firm level resources needed to ensure performance in a changing world.

W orld population growth and increased consumption stemming from economic leveling are leading to scarcity of a number of natural resources on a global scale. Scarcity of critical natural resources such as oil, water, food, and precious metals has the potential to greatly impact commercial activity as the twenty-first century progresses. The challenge of continuing to provide needed goods and services in the face of these constraints falls to supply chain managers, who are ultimately responsible for delivering utility to customers. Unfortunately, there has been almost no research focused on supply chain strategies aimed at mitigating natural resource scarcity's (NRS) potential effects. The current research positions NRS as a supply chain risk and proposes an NRS typology based on key resource attributes. Supply chain mitigation strategies to counter each resource status are offered, with an overall objective of improving supply chain performance. The study recommends future research aimed at further developing theory and methods for countering NRS based on resource, systems and behavioral theories. In addition, this study has critical implications for practitioners faced with the growing threat of NRS in their supply chains.
