“…The mediating role of circular economy practices CE, which aims to transform linear production and consumption systems into circular models, is operationalized through specific actions and practices (Schroeder et al, 2019). These CEP are commonly conceptualized in "R" frameworks, such as 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) (Cui et al, 2021), 4R (reduce, reuse, recycle and recover) (Gebhardt et al, 2022), or even, 9R (Potting et al, 2017). Govindan and Hasanagic (2018) provide a more holistic approach, which we subscribe to.…”

PurposeThis article examines the mechanisms through which big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) contribute to creating sustainable value and analyzes the mediating roles that supply chain management capabilities (SCMC), as well as circular economy practices (CEP), play through their impact on sustainable performance.Design/methodology/approachFollowing a literature review, a serial mediation model is presented. Hypotheses regarding direct and mediating relationships are tested to determine their potential for sustainability impact and circularity. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has been applied for causal and predictive purposes.FindingsThe results indicate that big data analytics capabilities do not have a direct positive impact on sustainable performance but influence indirectly through SCMC and CEP.Originality/valueAlthough some authors have addressed the associations between IT business value, supply chain (SC), and sustainability, this paper provides empirical evidence related to these relationships. Additionally, this study performs novel predictive analyses.

Purpose Today’s marketplace has witnessed intense competitive pressures and high levels of uncertainty and disruption. Therefore, supply chains require agility to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage and cope with uncertainties as well as disruptions. Although a wide range of studies exists on supply chain agility (SCA) from the perspective of antecedents or consequences, there is little research on the investigation of enablers of SCA and their relations among them. Furthermore, the literature has investigated proactive and reactive enablers for enhancing SCA, but most studies have not sufficiently framed their analysis of both aspects synchronically. This paper aims to find out the interrelationships among the proactive and reactive enablers for enhancing SCA. Design/methodology/approach An extensive literature review has been conducted to identify SCA enablers and a Delphi study has been performed to elucidate SCA enablers in the manufacturing industry in Turkey. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) has been used to identify the contextual relationship among the SCA enablers, and the model has been validated based on Matriced Impact Croises Multiplication Appliquee a un Classement (MICMAC) analysis. Findings On theoretical and practical levels, the proposed ISM model in this study can help organizations analyze and interpret interrelationships among enablers of SCA. For managers, it can provide better insights and understanding of the facilitators of SCA to enhance the effectiveness of the supply chain and cope with uncertainties and turbulence. According to results, enhancing “supply and demand side competency”, “delivery speed” and “strategic sourcing” are the most significant enablers of SCA. Originality/value The study extends the existing literature related to the enablers of SCA by modeling the proactive and reactive enablers of SCA based on the Al Humdan et al. (2020) classification. Arranging the enablers of SCA in a hierarchy and classifying the enablers into different levels with the help of the ISM-MICMAC approach is an exclusive effort to achieve successful management of the supply chain.

“…One of the crucial goals of SCs is to produce high-quality products at a low cost (Kirbac et al ., 2022; Hwihanus et al ., 2022). Recently, besides the low price, it has become important for the products to be environmentally friendly and to contribute to the circular economy (Gebhardt et al ., 2022). The change in expectations and demands for products, especially with COVID-19, shows that the quality of the product is an issue that should be given importance (Saini et al ., 2022).…”

“…Especially the climate changes accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic (Pimenta et al ., 2022) and the fact that natural resources are not unlimited have also revealed the necessity of considering the circular economy (Akhmetzyanov and Egizbaev, 2022). For this reason, to increase the resilience of the SCs and improve their performance (Kirbac et al ., 2022), it has become extremely important to determine the product status of the returned products at the procurement stage and to apply principles of circular economy, those at the operational level among the 9R' of the circular economy, for their needs (Hazen et al ., 2020; Gebhardt et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeCOVID-19 is a global event affecting supply chain operations and human health. With COVID-19, many issues in business models, business processes and supply chains, especially in the manufacturing industry, have had to change. The ability to analyze supply chain performances and ensure circularity in supply chains has become one of the factors whose importance has increased rapidly with COVID-19. Therefore, it aims to determine which supply chain performance criteria come to the fore for the company under consideration to accelerate the transformation into high performance and circularity in supply chains.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a new circular-SCOR model is proposed, and 17 supply chain performance measurement criteria are prioritized for a manufacturing company in the context of circular economy principles during COVID-19 by using stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis and analytical hierarchy process method, separately.FindingsAs a result, for both methods, in the case study discussed, the demand fulfillment rate is determined as the most prominent criterion in line with the circular economy principles in the COVID-19 period in manufacturing supply chains.Originality/valueIt is expected that this study will contribute to managers and policy makers as it addresses the “new normal” that started after COVID-19 and the criteria to be considered in supply chain performance measurement and emphasizes the need to adopt circular supply chains, especially in manufacturing industries.
