“…Our findings also add to the growing number of studies exploring the necessity of perceived environmental volatility in firms' strategic pro-environmental practices (Chang, Lee & Oh, 2021;Zhang, Hu & Liang, 2021). Our study is novel in showing that perceived environmental volatility acts as a boundary condition between CSR and MSME performance via the mediating mechanism of 20 green process innovation.…”

“…Our knowledge about the contingent effect of concentration mainly comes from customer concentration and the focus has largely been on environmental or relational factors (e.g. Kim and Zhu, 2018;Zhang et al, 2021). Complementing this line of research, our study explores how firm-level factors (buyers' characteristics) influence the effect of supplier-base concentration.…”

PurposeThis study addresses an important research question regarding how supplier-base concentration affects buyer efficiency. Drawing on the contradicting views of transaction cost theory (TCT) and resource dependence theory (RDT), the authors explore the main effect of supplier-base concentration on buyer efficiency and how this effect is contingent on buyers' characteristics (i.e. research and development (R&D) expenditure and market share).Design/methodology/approachBased on data collected from the Chinese manufacturing firms listed on National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) between 2015 and 2019, the authors use a fixed-effect model as well as a two-stage least squares model to test the predictions.FindingsThe authors find that supplier-base concentration has a positive effect on buyer efficiency. In addition, when a buyer has higher levels of R&D expenditure and market share, the positive relationship between supplier-base concentration and buyer efficiency is strengthened.Originality/valueThis study contributes to a better understanding of the effect of supplier-base concentration. First, the authors provide theoretical and empirical evidence of the positive effect of supplier-base concentration on buyer efficiency. Second, the authors reveal the underlying mechanism of how to counter the potential drawbacks and benefit more from supply base reduction by introducing R&D expenditure and market share as contingencies.

“…Hoejmose et al (2013) study power, dependence and asymmetries in shaping socially responsible supply chains, while Zhang and Huo (2013) use dependence as a key factor in predicting trust levels in supply chains. Likewise, Zhang et al (2021) study the extent to which dependence on suppliers is influenced by the transparency and dynamism of the industry in relation to corporate social responsibility initiatives.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore and further the existing knowledge on supply chain integration (SCI). This study proposes a model and several hypotheses to better understand some SCI antecedents, dependence and resource commitment and their relationships with performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on diverse theoretical approaches, the author develops and tests an integrated model in which dependence and resource commitment are proposed to enhance external integration, leading to an increase in economic performance. This study's empirical validity is reinforced by collecting data from 142 manufacturing firms in Spain and Germany and testing the model using structural equation model (SEM).FindingsThe results support dependence and resource commitment as antecedents of SCI, both with a positive effect. Also, discrepancies in the effect of external integration on performance are found where supplier integration seems not to have any effect on performance.Originality/valueThis study helps to better understand SCI antecedents. It makes both theoretical and managerial contributions by empirically analyzing both antecedents. This furthers extant knowledge regarding the joined impact of resource commitment and dependence on SCI. In particular, it incorporates resource commitment by considering it as the sacrifice firms need to implement to get involved in a long-term relationship.
