“…As a further contingency, we validated the importance of supply chain complexity, which has often been linked to important supply chain performance dimensions, such as delivery performance (Milgate 2001, Vachon & Klassen 2002, manufacturing performance (Bozarth et al 2009), supply chain flexibility (Blome et al 2014), reliability (Adenso-Diaz et al…”

Buying firms must pay increased attention to supply chain sustainability issues as they might be held responsible by stakeholders for non-sustainable supply chain activities. Frequently, sustainability problems occur upstream at the sub-supplier level. Building on the literature on multi-tier supply chains (MSCs), we investigated the strategies of buying firms in the food, apparel, packaging, and consumer electronics industries to manage the sustainability of second-tier suppliers and beyond. In particular, we analyzed seven cases of global MSCs and found four different characteristic MSC types-open, closed, third party, and "don't bother".We identified three main factors-supply chain complexity, the sustainability management capabilities of the first tier supplier, and the type of sustainability in focus (i.e., environmental or social sustainability)-that determine when and how buying firms actually extend their sustainability strategies to their sub-suppliers.

“…Supplier development is especially important for critical items (Osiro et al 2014, Kraljic 1983, Nellore and Söderquist 2000and De Boer et al 2001. Krause (1997) Effective supplier development initiatives include development of strong partnership and integration ties between all the stakeholders (including suppliers) as a basis for long term engagement, collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement (He et al 2014, Blome et al 2014, Krause 1997. Ehe extant literature reveals that -the higher the evaluation of the potential for partnership of a particular supplier,the higher the chance of developing a strategic partner will be‖ (Osiro et al 2014).…”

“…The knowledge-based view have been used as a theoretical fundamental to discuss the link between KM and SC performance (Hult, Ketchen & Slater 2004;Craighead et al, 2009;Cheung et al, 2012;Liu et al 2013a;Singh & Power, 2014;Blome et al, 2014). The main assumption of the knowledge-based view theory is the understanding of knowledge as a primary productive resource with a strategic connotation in the value adding process (Grant, 1996).…”

Abstract:Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine the state of knowledge management research in supply chain management from three standpoints, methodological approach, supply chain management area, and knowledge management processes.Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this, a systematic review is conducted over the period 2000-2014 on the basis of a qualitative content analysis. Findings:Major results showed that knowledge management can be viewed as a leverage mechanism for: (i) supply chain integration; (ii) the enhancement of intra and inter-relations across the supply chain; (iii) supply chain strategy alignment; and (iv) the reinforcement of knowledge transfer in product development. Some supply chain management areas such as reverse logistics, inventory management, forecasting/demand planning, outsourcing, and risk management have been explored only to some extent. Furthermore, knowledge transfer is being studied in the majority of the articles, mainly by both case study and survey approach; mathematical models and simulation techniques are used in very limited articles. Findings concerning theoretical perspectives and managerial issues are also described. Practical implications:The exhibition of the KM processes within the SC context may help practitioners and managers interested in implementing KM initiatives to replicate the methodologies in order to increase the possibilities of a successful KM adoption. Originality/value:The systematic review will contribute to the understanding of the present state of research in the knowledge management theory, with focus on the supply chain, as there are no state-of-knowledge studies that report a systematic literature review approach.
