“…For example, the company can believe in energy conservation and decreasing waste in operations and supply chain management [55]. Furthermore, supply chain managers can generate a profitable sustainable supply chain management by waste reduction, which can be attained by optimizing the production, batch size, and the number of shipments [97]. Companies should aggressively satisfy CSR.…”

As the concept of corporate social responsibility advances, it is crucial to recognize the broad roles of sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) influencing the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This research contributes to the expanding field of CSR, sustainable innovation ambidexterity (SIA), sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), and second-order social capital (SOSC). This research produced a theoretical framework based on social exchange theory, social capital theory, and Carroll’s CSP model to investigate the impact of CSR on SIA, SSCM, and SOSC. Furthermore, this study examined the mediating effects of SSCM and SOSC on the correlation between CSR and SIA. Additionally, this study presents a model to explain the impact of SSCM and SOSC on SIA. This study concentrated on top-level managers of several manufacturing businesses situated in Pakistan. A total of 42 manufacturing businesses were chosen utilizing a convenience cluster sampling method. As per the results of this research, CSR was discovered to have a positive impact on SSCM, SIA, and, SOSC. Moreover, SOSC and SSCM were found to be in a significant relationship with SIA. Finally, SOSC and SSCM fully mediated the relationship between CSR and sustainable innovation ambidexterity. This research can guide companies by effectively delivering their finances in CSR initiatives. The findings also suggest that companies should concentrate on improving their CSR initiatives because CSR has a significant effect on SIA. The SDGs provide a road map for companies that can assist them to tactically manage their CSR initiatives according to the international and national sustainable development guidelines. Hence, the CSR–SDG tie is essential for the improvement in the role of CSR in sustainable development. Moreover, to improve and measure SSCM, SOSC, and SIA, policymakers and general managers should devote efforts to CSR.

“…The model can be further extended by adding a lead time constraint and a supplier capacity constraint (Ray et al [39]; Hu et al [40]). The study can also be extended by considering the variant production rate (Alkahtani et al [41]), production quality improvement (see for reference Sarkar et al [42]), inventory management with backorders, and preservation technology (Mishra et al [43]; Yadav et al [44]).…”

With the increase in pollution and people’s awareness of the environment, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from products has attracted more and more attention. Companies and researchers are seeking appropriate methods to reduce the GHG emissions of products. Currently, product family design is widely used for meeting the diverse needs of customers. In order to reduce the GHG emission of products, some methods for low-carbon product family design have been presented in recent years. However, in the existing research, the related GHG emission data of a product family are given as crisp values, which cannot assess GHG emissions accurately. In addition, the procurement planning of components has not been fully concerned, and the supplier selection has only been considered. To this end, in this study, a concurrence optimization model was developed for the low-carbon product family design and the procurement plan of components under uncertainty. In the model, the relevant GHG emissions were considered as the uncertain number rather than the crisp value, and the uncertain GHG emissions model of the product family was established. Meanwhile, the order allocation of the supplier was considered as the decision variable in the model. To solve the uncertain optimization problem, a genetic algorithm was developed. Finally, a case study was performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results showed that the proposed model can help decision-makers to simultaneously determine the configuration of product variants, the procurement strategy of components, and the price strategies of product variants based on the objective of maximizing profit and minimizing GHG emission under uncertainty. Moreover, the concurrent optimization of low-carbon product family design and order allocation can bring the company greater profit and lower GHG emissions than just considering supplier selection in low-carbon product family design.

“…At the same time, the studies underline the need to structurize information to support decision-making process for organization of transport of selected cargo groups during the COVID-19 crisis [60]. It should be also noted that available literature includes studies showing managers respond strategies, managerial insights and recommendations facilitating decision-making process related to supply chains management [16,61], however, these studies do not investigate decisions made in COVID-19 pandemic conditions.…”

Seaports during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Terminal Operators’ Tactical Responses to Disruptions in Maritime Supply Chains

et al. 2021

The world-wide crisis caused by the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a significant impact on the global economy functioning and the sustainable development of supply chains. The changes also affected seaports being the key links of maritime supply chains. The purpose of the research study described in this article was to identify the sources and kinds of disruptions observed in various maritime supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the operations of various types of seaport terminals, namely those serving bulk (universal, specialised) and general cargoes (universal, specialised). An additional purpose was to identify the dependencies between the type of terminal and its main function, and the tactical decisions adopted by the particular terminals. The research was carried out using the multiple-case study method. The study covered some selected port terminals functioning in Polish seaports (Gdańsk, Szczecin, Świnoujście), applying direct, semi-structured in-depth interviews. The analysis of the results was carried out using the inductive reasoning method. The research study has shown that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic some maritime supply chains ceased to exist, some of them were operating with decreased cargo volumes, while in other cases the transshipment volumes actually rose during the pandemic. Among terminal operators’ tactical responses to disruptions in maritime supply chains, there were pro-active and adaptive measures. Pro-active (offensive) measures included actions taken by an enterprise in order to engage in new maritime supply chains, and even participating in establishing new maritime chains in response to limitations caused by the pandemic. Adaptive (defensive) measures covered actions taken by the port terminals as a consequence of changes in the existing maritime supply chains, caused by the pandemic in the port’s foreland or hinterland. The research study results revealed that the terminals extent of engagement and tactical decisions related to the pandemic were depended on the type of terminal (universal or specialised) and its main function played within a supply chain.
