The institutional implementation of proactive sustainable supply chain strategies : An explorative study on the interorganizational means of establishing voluntary sustainability initiatives

Institutional entrepreneurship capabilities for interorganizational sustainable supply chain strategies

Description: 

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to address the implementation of proactive interorganizational sustainable supply chain strategies by empirically exploring the relationship between key (inter-)organizational resources of the initiating company and the establishment of widely accepted voluntary sustainability initiatives.
Design/methodology/approach - The study is built on comparative case studies as well as literature on institutional entrepreneurship and the resource-based view. Findings - The authors identify capabilities that enable the creation and establishment of company- driven voluntary sustainability initiatives - namely external stakeholder integration, cross-functional integration, the management of loosely coupled business units, supply chain implementation, process improvement and cultural framing.
Originality/value - With this study, the authors introduce institutional entrepreneurship theory to supply chain management literature and show that institutional entrepreneurship theory may contribute to the question of how organizations implement their interorganizational sustainable supply chain strategies. Specifically, the study derives propositions for key resources enabling the establishment of voluntary sustainability initiatives widely accepted by participants as well as initiative-external stakeholders

Konzepte und Erfolgsfaktoren für Anlaufstrategien in Netzwerken der Automobilindustrie

Description: 

Im Rahmen des integrierten Anlaufmanagement-Konzepts nimmt die Anlaufstrategie die richtungweisende, übergeordnete Rolle ein. Sie definiert den generellen Standpunkt des Unternehmens auf lange Sicht für sämtliche Anläufe und koordiniert somit die unterschiedlichen Aktivitäten in der Umsetzung der einzelnen Anläufe. Der vorliegende Beitrag leitet anhand ausgewählter Strategien des Flexibilitäts-, Komplexität-, Qualitäts- und Kostenmanagements in Supply Chains konkrete Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten einer Anlaufstrategie in Netzwerken der Automobilindustrie ab und belegt die strategischen "Stellhebel" eines effizienten Anlaufmanagements anhand empirischer Ergebnisse aus Forschungsprojekten des Lehrstuhls für Logistikmanagement der Universität St.Gallen.
