Conceptualising the Socio-material Context
We propose a conceptualisation of the socio-material context of paradox theory by empirically investigating multilevel paradoxes arising in the context of professional drivers and advanced driver assistance systems. Truck and bus drivers face complex work environments, external pressures, and fluctuating stress levels, which result in tensions with ethical implications that extend their immediate work and organisational settings. Whilst the quant…
Broadening the Scope of Operations and Supply Chain Management Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has been gaining attention in operations and supply chain management (OSCM) research but is often narrowly framed and dominated by instrumental logic. We offer three lenses that potentially broaden the scope of this scholarship: justice, paradox, and dialectical. The justice logic frames DEI as primarily a moral concern of inequality in firms and supply chains. It goes against an instrumental, performance-dr…
Implications of Deep Meaningfulness for Sustainability
Decent work is a pivotal aspect of sustainable development. However, recent developments suggest that precarious work is rising. This is particularly true for prosocial workers who exhibit extraordinary self‐sacrifice despite working in detrimental conditions. In this manuscript, we shed light on how the individual sensemaking of called prosocial workers impacts the sustainability of professions. We achieve this by appropriating escalation of com…
An integrated MCDM-ML approach for predicting the carbon neutrality index in manufacturing supply chains
Organizations across the globe are devising novel approaches to strive for carbon neutrality. Global institutions have manifested the critical need to develop reasonable strategies in every sector to mitigate the impending issues of excessive anthropogenic carbon emission and, in consequence, climate change. World‐leading economies have initiated significant steps by developing zero‐carbon emission policies to monitor the escalating carbon emissi…
How can food processing achieve food and nutrition security
In the agri‐food chain, while the impact of producers and consumers on sustainability has been well studied, food processing has been less explored. This position paper aims to discuss the potential of food processing to address all food and nutrition security (FNS) outcomes in order to achieve improved food system sustainability. First, FNS dimensions and the four pillars of agro‐food industry sustainability are defined, with a focus on ultra‐pr…
Change in Rhetoric but not in Action? Framing of the Ethical Issue of Modern Slavery in a UK Sector at High Risk of Labor Exploitation
This article shows how the ethical framing of the contemporary issue of modern slavery has evolved in UK construction, a sector in which there is a high risk of labor exploitation. It also examines how these framing dynamics have inhibited the emergence of a common framework of action to deal with the issue. We draw on both framing theory and the literature on the discursive construction of moral legitimacy. Our longitudinal analysis reveals that…
The Quest for Low-Carbon Mobility
Corporate action to tackle climate change is affected by multifaceted tensions, which are insufficiently investigated. It therefore remains unclear how tensions become salient and how they are responded to when a new strategy is introduced. We propose that translation theory can inform paradox theory and explore this conceptualization using a qualitative case-study research design. Specifically, we examine how retail translates the decarbonizatio…
Mapping the social dimension of the circular economy
The Role of Institutional Uncertainty for Social Sustainability of Companies and Supply Chains
Global sourcing largely occurs from so-called emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). In these contexts, substantial leverage effects for sustainability in supply chains (SCs) can be expected by reducing adverse impacts on society and minimising related risks. For this ethical end, an adequate understanding of the respective sourcing contexts is fundamental. This case study of South Africa’s (SA) mining sector uses institutional theory…
Diffusion of labor standards through supplier–subcontractor networks
Subcontracting represents a popular business model in supply chains across industries. In the case of hidden subcontracting, subcontractors are beyond the visible horizon of the (focal) buying firm. Hence, buyers must rely on a cascading effect for diffusing practices such as compliance with labor standards through their supply networks. Motivated by the case of the Bangladeshi garment industry, we constructed an agent‐based model with buyers, fi…
A Review and Typology of Circular Economy Business Model Patterns
The circular economy (CE) requires companies to rethink their supply chains and business models. Several frameworks found in the academic and practitioner literature propose circular economy business models (CEBMs) to redefine how companies create value while adhering to CE principles. A review of these frameworks shows that some models are frequently discussed, some are framework specific, and some use a different wording to refer to similar CEB…
Drivers of Farm Efficiency and Their Potential for Development in a Changing Agricultural Setting in Kerala, India
Sustainable Global Agrifood Supply Chains
The article investigates the factors that make businesses postpone integrating the performance dimension of sustainability in global agrifood supply chains. Based on literature‐based conceptual reasoning, the article conceptualizes a double company lens distinguishing between substantial supply chain management and mere public relations endeavors as a major obstacle for businesses pursuing comprehensive supply chain performance in global agrifood…
Conducting content‐analysis based literature reviews in supply chain management
Purpose Inconsistent research output makes critical literature reviews crucial tools for assessing and developing the knowledge base within a research field. Literature reviews in the field of supply chain management (SCM) are often considerably less stringently presented than other empirical research. Replicability of the research and traceability of the arguments and conclusions call for more transparent and systematic procedures. The purpose o…
