“…The central tenet of these studies is that social capital is a crucial asset for facing, adapting to and surviving external risks and negative changes, especially for resource-dependent and resource-constraint actors. In the context of AFSCs, social capital can be examined with a view that they are developing from transaction-based markets to cooperation-based networks (Zondag et al , 2017). Sporleder and Wu (2006), for example, suggest that distortions can be alleviated through self-enforcing arrangements that are ingredients of social capital.…”

“…Sporleder and Wu (2006), for example, suggest that distortions can be alleviated through self-enforcing arrangements that are ingredients of social capital. Nonetheless, collaborative networks feeding social capital are different in the context of AFSCs, because of numerous intervening factors, including product factors, firm factors, cost structure and return-on-investment of collaboration (Zondag et al , 2017). Thus, there is no single ideal application and utilization of social capital, but it is highly context-dependent with unique boundary conditions in distinctive contexts.…”

Purpose Despite several contributions to greenhouse gas emission and carbon footprint reduction, the literature lacks empirical insights into the business impact of climate risks, when they materialize, and techniques to manage them. This study aims to devise a model delving into critical climate risks and the role of consortia and social capital to mitigate these risks. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods approach was used, including qualitative and quantitative data from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in an Australian agrifood supply chain (AFSC). Findings The qualitative analysis uncovers four critical climate risks and a repertoire of relational, structural, and cognitive social capital accrued by SMEs of AFSC through consortia. The quantitative analysis corroborates that the SMEs that accumulate higher social capital through active engagement within consortia are able to respond more effectively to climate risks than to others. The authors, therefore, find that climate risk mitigation in SMEs is the function of both association (consortia) membership and the accrual of higher social capital through active involvement and collaboration within networks. Originality/value This is the first study in using a moderated-moderation model that simultaneously investigates the business impact of climate risks and how the moderating impact of consortia (a primary moderator) is further moderated by social capital (a secondary moderator) in explaining SMEs performance. The paper addresses the lack of adequate empirical research, particularly mixed-methods, in supply chain risk management literature.

“…Studies have shown that managers in hotel do not follow the logistics in supply chain because of its complex nature (Zondag, et al, 2017) (Cetindamar, et al, 2016). The logistics involves huge number of processes which are interdependent and monitoring and controlling them is not easy.…”

PurposeCurrent online business development redistributes last-mile logistics (LML) from consumer to retailer and producer. This paper identifies how empirical LML research has used and defined logistic performance measures for key grocery industry actors. Using a multi-actor perspective on logistic performance, the authors discuss coordination issues important for optimising LML at system level.Design/methodology/approachA semi-systematic literature review of 85 publications was conducted to analyse performance measurements used for effectiveness and efficiency, and for which actors.FindingsFew empirical LML studies exist examining coordination between key actors or on system level. Most studies focus on logistic performance measurements for retailers and/or consumers, not producers. Key goals and resource utilisations lack research, including all key actors and system-level coordination.Research limitations/implicationsCurrent LML performance research implies a risk for sub-optimisation. Through expanding on efficiency and effectiveness interplay at system level and introducing new research perspectives, the review highlights the need to revaluate single-actor, single-measurement studies.Practical implicationsNo established scientific guidelines exist for solving LML optimisation in the grocery industry. For managers, it is important to thoroughly consider efficiency and effectiveness in LML execution, coordination and collaboration among key actors, avoiding sub-optimisations for business and sustainability.Originality/valueThe study contributes to current knowledge by reviewing empirical research on LML performance in the grocery sector, showing how previous research disregards the importance of multiple actors and coordination of actors, efficiency and effectiveness.
