abstract = {This study, involving a sample of 298 drive-through (DT) users, aims to identify the key variables of the DT service likely to contribute to customer satisfaction and increase loyalty (purchase frequency) to favour its adoption. Its particularity is to attempt a simultaneous measurement of the influence of assortment, the website functional quality/the quality of staff reception at the withdrawal terminals and reputation on satisfaction and purchase frequency at the drive-through. Similarly, it measures the mediating role of user trust as well as the moderating role of waiting time and Covid-19 in the adoption of drives. The results show that service variables such as the website functional quality/the quality of staff reception at the withdrawal terminals, reputation and assortment significantly influence the behaviour of DT users. Similarly, trust plays a partial mediation in the relationship between the above-mentioned variables and user behaviour (purchase frequency and satisfaction). Finally, the website functional quality/the quality of staff reception at the withdrawal terminals, reputation, assortment and trust have a significant impact on satisfaction, which in turn significantly influence the frequency of DT purchases. The effects of Covid-19 are not significant, which is an unexpected result.},

abstract = {This study explores how social sustainability is enabled and constrained within Circular Digitalized Supply Chains (CDSCs), mobilizing paradox theory as a theoretical lens. Through a qualitative analysis of interviews with 22 supply chain (SC), operations, logistics, and procurement managers, the research identifies key paradoxes that emerge when pursuing social goals alongside circular and digital transformations. The study finds that pursuing CDSCs' goals alongside social sustainability objectives creates paradoxical tensions, such as conflicts between efficiency and fair labor practices, data privacy concerns, and the potential for power concentration within digital platforms. These tensions highlight the complexities of balancing competing objectives within CDSC operations. Moreover, the different managerial perspectives, such as SC, operational, logistics, and procurement, may prioritize different aspects of sustainability, leading to potential tensions. These tensions were categorized into four paradoxes: the paradox of progress, the paradox of efficiency, the paradox of control, and the paradox of governance. To manage these paradoxes, the findings highlight the importance of dynamic management, stakeholder engagement, transparency, innovation, and continuous learning. This should also be supported by holistic integration, which involves a unified, comprehensive approach to managing paradoxes in CDSCs, transitioning from separate functional strategies to a cohesive solution. This study contributes to understanding the complexities of social sustainability in CDSCs. It offers insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to promote more responsible and sustainable SC practices.},

increasingly recognized in today's global economy and highly uncertain geopolitical context. However, their

supply chains (SCs) are fraught with complexities due to geographical concentration, environmental impact, and

ethical concerns. This study addresses the pressing research question: ?How do existing research streams on rare

metals SCs address the complex, interconnected challenges within these SCs?? By employing a Systematic

Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), this research provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of

knowledge in the field, integrating both quantitative bibliometric analysis and qualitative content analysis. The

key contribution of this study is the development of a conceptual framework that synthesizes insights from the

literature, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of rare metals SCs. This framework emphasizes the critical

need for resilient, and ethically managed supply networks that can face challenges posed by these materials. The

findings suggest that while significant progress has been made, substantial gaps remain in understanding and

addressing the full spectrum of issues within rare metals SCs. This study not only maps the intellectual landscape

of the field but also provides strategic directions for future research, aiming to enhance the sustainability and

Cet intérêt a été suscité par une série d'événements perturbateurs, allant des catastrophes naturelles (Abe & Ye, 2013) aux crises économiques (Jüttner & Maklan, 2011) et, plus récemment, à la pandémie de la Covid-19 (El Baz & Ruel, 2021). Ces multiples crises ont mis en lumière les vulnérabilités des supply chains mondiales. Elles ont entraîné des perturbations à grande échelle, ressenties parfois jusqu'aux consommateurs finaux (par exemple lors de pénuries). Cela souligne la nécessité de la résilience des supply chains, non seulement en tant qu'impératif stratégique pour des organisations et leurs entités partenaires afin de garantir leur pérennité, mais aussi comme un sujet de débat académique intense, à l'international comme en France (par exemple : Evrard Samuel, 2013 ; Fabbe-Costes & Ziad, 2021). Ainsi, la résilience des supply chains est un concept « en vogue », tant pour le monde de la recherche que le monde des entreprises (Ruel, 2013).

Cependant, malgré la reconnaissance croissante de son importance, la définition et la compréhension du concept de « résilience des supply chains » restent marquées par une variabilité importante.

abstract = {Purpose - The authors mobilise stewardship theory, which delves into trust and collaboration dynamics,

advocating for long-term gains through actions beneficial to the broader community. Used as a fundamental

framework to conceptualise the model, stewardship theory enhances the understanding of the effect of purchasing

social responsibility (PSR) practices to foster innovativeness and performance through the supply chain (SC). This

study aims to examine the relationship between PSR, SC innovativeness (SC-INNO) and SC operational

performance (SCOP). In addition, themoderating effect of sustainability labels on these relationshipswill be studied.

Design/methodology/approach - Based on survey data from 177 organisations analysed through partial

least square structural equation modelling, the results suggest that PSR has a positive and significant effect on

SC-INNO and SCOP. In addition, SC-INNO plays a partial mediation role since the direct effect between PSR

and SCOP is validated. Furthermore, the moderating effects of holding a sustainability label and industry type

about PSR and SCOP are supported.

Findings - The results indicate a significant positive influence of PSR on both SC-INNO and operational

performance. SC-INNO is found to partially mediate the PSR-SCOP relationship. Moreover, sustainability

labels and industry type significantly moderate the effects of PSR on SCOP.

Originality/value - The findings extend stewardship theory into the sustainable purchasing and supply

management field by providing empirical support for PSR as a reflection of stewardship behaviours by

fostering innovation and performance throughout the SC.},

challenges faced by their firms during the pandemic, considered a black-swan event. It examines the strategies

implemented to mitigate and recover from risks, evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies and assesses the

difficulties encountered in their implementation.

Design/methodology/approach - In the summer of 2022, an online survey was conducted among supply

chain (SC) practitioners in France, Poland and the St. Louis, Missouri region of the USA. The survey aimed to

understand the impact of COVID-19 on their firms and the SC strategies employed to sustain operations. These

regions were selected due to their varying levels of SC development, including infrastructure, economic

resources and expertise. Moreover, they exhibited different responses in safeguarding the well-being of their

citizens during the pandemic.

Findings - The study reveals consistent perceptions among practitioners from the three regions regarding the

impact of COVID-19 on SCs. Their actions to enhance SC resilience primarily relied on strengthening

collaborative efforts within their firms and SCs, thus validating the tenets of the relational view.

Originality/value - COVID-19 is (hopefully) our black-swan pandemic occurrence during our lifetime.

Nevertheless, the lessons learned from it can inform future SC risk management practices, particularly in

dealing with rare crises. During times of crisis, leveraging existing SC structures may prove more effective and

efficient than developing new ones. These findings underscore the significance of relationships in ensuring SC

Design/methodology/approach - Employing systematic literature review and Preferred Reporting Items for

Systematic Literature Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodologies, this research delves into an

analysis of 238 journal articles spanning a 47-year period. The objective is to discern existing voids and put forth

actionable suggestions that align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal Number 5 (SDG5) in

the context of men and women, which pertains to realizing gender equality and empowering girls and women.

Findings - The results show a significant increase in published articles over the period. However, only five

literature review articles were found that specifically address gender inequality in OSCM. The five common

themes impacting gender inequality in this field are gender issues, mindset, transportation disparities, human

resources and gender roles in OSCM, alongside sustainability, mobility and government policy intersections.

The paper emphasizes the need for further research on these themes. It also suggests implications for

educators, researchers, companies, OSCM departments and policymakers to achieve SDG5.

abstract = {Purpose - This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) on social inclusion within upstream

supply chains, targeting a notable literature gap in modern SCM discourse. By delving into this critical, yet

underexamined, domain, this study spotlights the pressing need to incorporate social inclusion practices,

particularly as global supply chains face increased scrutiny over their social ramifications. It examines social

inclusion's intricacies, offering practical insights for industry professionals to adopt, so that trustworthy social

inclusion practices can proliferate across their upstream supply chains, thereby making a substantial

contribution to both theoretical understanding and practical application.

Design/methodology/approach - Employing five search queries across two leading academic databases,

this investigation reviewed 86 articles that examined social issues related to social inclusion in the upstream

supply chain. Via content analysis, this study aims to answer essential research questions and employs

statistical bibliometric analyses to investigate the collected data further.

Findings - This study's findings establish a definition of social inclusion within the upstream supply chain

and present a conceptual framework delineating levers and indicators for evaluating such practices. Through

rigorous analysis, it becomes apparent that mechanisms such as supplier compliance, collaboration and

development are crucial for promoting social inclusion; however, their importance differs at various levels of

suppliers in multi-tiered supply chains. Furthermore, a methodological matrix is introduced for assessing social

inclusion practices' efficacy, equipping practitioners with a roadmap for developing and executing strategies

that extend social inclusion efforts throughout the supply chain, as well as emphasising these levers through

monitoring, assessment and application of six specified indicators.

Originality/value - This study contributes to the dialogue surrounding upstream supply chain

management by spotlighting social inclusion practices, addressing the literature gap in comprehending

how social inclusion dynamics operate within upstream supply chains and outlining a distinct direction for

forthcoming research. By highlighting the pressing importance of enhancing social inclusion practices, this

study not only enriches the theoretical landscape but also lays the groundwork for subsequent empirical

studies aimed at deciphering the complexities and practical hurdles associated with the efficient execution of

these practices.},

Design/methodology/approach - A single case study was conducted on the procurement of personal

protective equipment (PPE) during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave in the Quebec public healthcare

network. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders from the supply chain management (SCM) departments

at eight public healthcare institutions.

Findings - Two major challenges in the early months of the pandemic impacted the development of resilience

in the healthcare network. First, peripheral actors' decisions, which orient procurement objectives, limited the

deployment of resilience measures in the supply chain (SC). Second, SC resilience included hundreds of

products other than PPE that are critical to the delivery of care. The article illustrates the challenges of SCR,

which will inevitably be accompanied by additional costs when purchasing in the public healthcare sector is

often focused on the lowest price.

Originality/value - Drawing from the network perspective model, this article examines the actions of

Quebec supply network stakeholders through the three phases of SCR: anticipation, response to

disruption, and recovery. Finally, the article suggests that decision-makers remove the cost of

resilience measures from the purchase price of products, in order to maintain these measures over the

current talent shortage. The purpose of this research is to identify and evaluate factors that influence career

advancement in SCM and compare male and female supply chain experts' perceptions of the importance of

those factors.

Design/methodology/approach - First, 32 factors perceived as affecting career advancement in SCM were

identified by conducting a literature review and consulting 36 experts. Those factors were grouped into four

categories: ?environmental and structural?, ?human capital?, ?individual? and ?interpersonal?. Those factors

were validated via the Delphi method, and ten factors were retained for further study. Second, the voting

analytical hierarchy process was used to determine the priority weights experts assigned to these factors. The

weights assigned by male and female experts were compared to determine if there were differences between the

women's and men's perceptions of the factors' importance.

Findings - The findings reveal that the category of human capital factors is the most important, followed by

individual factors and the least important is interpersonal factors. The experts consulted for this research emphasized

?skills?, ?a good fit between an individual and an organization? and ?self-confidence? as important factors for career

advancement. There were two unexpected results. First, the experts rejected all the environmental and structural

factors. Second, no significant difference was found between the male and female groups' evaluations.

Originality/value - Prior to this study, no integrated approach to identify and evaluate the factors perceived

which affect career advancement in SCM had been developed. This research is a single empirical and

integrative study in France that provides valuable insights for academics and practitioners.},

abstract = {Supply chain viability (SCV) is an emerging concept of growing importance in operations

management. This paper aims to conceptualize, develop, and validate a measurement scale

for SCV. SCV is first defined and operationalized as a construct, followed by content validation

and item measure development. Data have been collected through three independent

samplings comprising a total of 558 respondents. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor

analyses are used in a step-wise manner for scale development. Reliability and validity are

evaluated. A nomological model is theorized and tested to evaluate nomological validity.

For the first time, our study frames SCV as a novel and distinct construct. The findings

show that SCV is a hierarchical and multidimensional construct, reflected in organizational

structures, organizational resources, dynamic design capabilities, and operational aspects.

The findings reveal that a central characteristic of SCV is the dynamic reconfiguration of

SC structures in an adaptive manner to ensure survival in the long-term perspective. This

research conceptualizes and provides specific, validated dimensions and item measures for

SCV. Practitioner directed guidance and suggestions are offered for improving SCV during

the COVID-19 pandemic and future severe disruptions.},

abstract = {Purpose



As firms consider initiatives to enhance their social sustainability performance, supplier diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) have become significantly more important. As such, the purpose of this study is to theorize, operationalize and develop an empirical scale to measure supplier DEI.



Design/methodology/approach



The following three-phase scale development method was used: first, identification of scale items from the literature; second, a qualitative component involving interviews with expert panels; and third, a psychometric evaluation through two survey rounds with 327 managers from multiple areas of supply chain management.



Findings



Although not necessarily a new concept, this study provides a more complete understanding of supplier DEI beyond traditional aspects of supplier diversity (e.g. women and minority-owned suppliers) to feature additional considerations (e.g. LGBTQIAP+) and reflect broader societal considerations, such as human rights. Therefore, validated items for the three dimensions (i.e. diversity, equity [human rights] and inclusion) were identified.



Originality/value



This study provides systematically validated scales to measure supplier DEI based on three dimensions. Each dimension can be developed separately from the others, but they are intertwined, which reinforces the contribution to both scholars and practitioners.},

abstract = {Purpose - This study explores practitioners' perspectives on and definitions of sustainable supply chain

management (SSCM), which are then compared to academic definitions to identify new implications for

researchers, educators and practitioners.

Design/methodology/approach - An abductive, explorative and qualitative approach was followed in the

form of a review and classification of 31 academic definitions of SSCM as well as 30 interviews with supply

chain (SC) practitioners.

Findings - The practitioners' answers show a lack of awareness of upstream and downstream challenges as

the practitioners' focus on practices within the practitioners' firms, where the economic and environmental

dimensions prevail. However, the practitioners highlighted understudied topics in SSCM: human resources

policies, leadership for sustainability and ethics.

Research limitations/implications - This research stimulates discussion on how to teach an SSCM course

and which directions to follow to ensure that research has an impact on practices. Practitioners' focus on the

practitioners' everyday practices confirms that practice-based theories, amongst others, are relevant in the field

and that more interdisciplinary research is needed to highlight the contributions of human resource

management (HRM) and business ethics to SSCM.

Practical implications - The proposed framework clearly defines the scope of the practices and research

(upstream or downstream of the SC or within the firm), which will allow practitioners to contribute to SSCM

more holistically.

Social implications - Educators and researchers have a crucial role to play in clarifying the meaning of

SSCM for students who are future practitioners and consumers. Interacting more with practitioners could help.

Originality/value - This research is targeted not only to researchers and practitioners but also educators.},

This study provides several insights by highlighting how firms adopting social sustainability practices such as SHP can build stronger resilience to various threats of disruptive events while improving their SP. Such positive outcomes can be achieved by implementing safety protocols, ensuring health monitoring and communication, and establishing contingency plans based on stakeholders' requirements in a timely manner.},

The business environment is increasingly volatile, complex, uncertain and ambiguous. Today, COVID-19 represents a super-disruption situation. This paper aims to explore small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs') resilience from continuous improvement lenses. It explores the role of continuous improvement in building organizational resilience across SMEs.



Design/methodology/approach

A Delphi methodology has been adopted to capture evidence and opinions from 38 experts from several Jordan-based SMEs through three-online rounds.



Findings

The study finds that continuous improvement enhances SMEs' resilience in the short term and long term. It can translate the concept of resilience into tangible working constructs for SMEs in visualizing and making decisions about their risks, adapting, absorbing changes and prevailing over time. The role of continuous improvement in building organizational resilience is fourfold; continuous improvement is a cyclical process; it has a vital cultural aspect and can be considered a business philosophy. It also emphasizes a holistic change approach based on small but constant changes. However, SMEs' leaders must consider several issues for effective continuous improvement, including a continuous improvement culture and a results-focused approach.



Originality/value

Organizational resilience has been studied across various contexts; however, there are still unanswered questions for SMEs' resilience. This study contributes to theory and practice by examining the role of continuous improvement in SMEs' resilience.},

To what extent do social media contribute to KS within the internal SC functions in a cultural context where informalization is preferred? The article relies on a case study conducted in a manufacturing company in China where ERP implementation failure allowed two social media (WeChat and DingTalk) to play a growing role in the KS within the internal SC.

Through a dynamic capability view as the theoretical lens, we investigate whether and how an inclusive purchasing programme could enhance SC resilience capabilities to cope with the Covid-19 outbreak. We developed a Case study with various SC members of a multinational cosmetics company that, despite suffering from a sudden demand disruption during the outbreak, maintained its sustainability actions. The results show that four operational SC resilience capabilities were amplified: ?visibility', ?adaptability', ?collaboration' and ?financial strength'. In addition, a new capability entitled ?empowerment' was mobilised during this period. These factors helped the inclusive purchasing maintenance and were essential to supporting social sustainability. In addition, our results show that sustainable PSM, which is overlooked in the literature, is key for SC resilience. This article contributes to theory and practice because it demonstrates the role and relevance of (inclusive) purchasing in a company's ability to cope with SC disruptions, such as those resulting from the outbreak.},

Considering that, globally, most firms are family businesses, this study explores the role that their unique familiness plays in the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability in supply chains. Family businesses emphasize a long-term perspective, social responsibility, and ecological awareness. Findings from a comparative study of twelve cases of six family and six non-family businesses demonstrate that sustainability concerns differ at the upstream, focal-firm, and downstream firm levels. These differences are explored from an institutional theory perspective and arise because of several coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures. We argue that, at the upstream level, family businesses tend to accentuate social concerns.In contrast, non-family businesses pay much less attention to social concerns. Within the firm, family businesses give weight to all three sustainability dimensions. In comparison, non-family businesses downplay the social dimension in favor of the environmental dimension. Downstream, family businesses address similar sustainability dimensions as non-family businesses. Such differences are due to institutional pressures, especially the firm's culture, values, and top management involvement. There are specific practical implications concerning the role that family businesses can play in making supply chains more sustainable.},

Our analysis shows that there were, on average, 33.5% women recruited in the MSc and that this has not significantly changed over the years. It also shows that gender significantly influences the number of years spent at each level in the career hierarchy and the level reached. Regarding expatriation choice, this variable has some significant impacts on career progression. Finally, statistics indicate that gender has a far greater influence on career progression than expatriation choice. Overall, this study proves the difficulties for women in enjoying the same career progression as men in the field of Supply Chain Management.},

abstract = {Purpose

Supply chain resilience (SCR) is a key concept for managers who wish to develop the capacity to enhance their supply chain's (SC's) ability to cope with unexpected turbulence. SC digital tools are often seen as a solution that provides more visibility, anticipation and collaboration (SCR capability factors). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the link between SCR and SC digitalisation



Design/methodology/approach

A sample was considered with 300 managers in the field of SCM, and the results were analysed using factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM). SEM was employed to test the impact of the degree of digital maturity and SC digital tools on SCR.



Findings

SC digitalization is characterised by the degree of digital maturity and the adoption of SC digital tools. The degree of digital maturity has a strong influence on digital tool adoption. SCR is positively impacted by both the degree of digital maturity and the adoption of digital tools.



Research limitations/implications

The findings do not indicate which tools contribute the most to SCR.



Practical implications

Managers should reflect on the need to continue digitalizing their SCs if they want greater SCR in the current uncertain environment.



Originality/value

This is the first quantitative study that focuses on assessing the impact of the degree of digital maturity and the SC digital tools adopted on SCR. Validation of the hypotheses model confirms the positive impact of SC digitalisation on SCR for researchers and managers.},

abstract = {This study investigates the role of supply chain risk management (SCRM) in mitigating the effects of disruptions impacts on supply chain resilience and robustness in the context of COVID-19 outbreak. Using structural equation modeling on a survey data from 470 French firms, the results confirm the basic tenets of resource-based view and organizational information processing theories regarding the combination of dynamic resources to face disruptions' uncertainty. Furthermore, the findings reveal the mediating role of SCRM practices and the prominent role they play in fostering supply chain resilience and robustness. Overall, by providing empirical assessment of a comprehensive SCRM framework, this research contributes to the extant literature and suggests further avenues for research.},
