Join us for a Paper Development Workshop on Envisioning Supply Chains in a Post-Growth Era on December 5-6, 2024 (both online and in London). This event will explore the important yet underexplored area of post-growth supply chain management, with discussions on how global supply chains can be redesigned to prioritize environmental sustainability and societal well-being over growth. Do not miss this opportunity to engage with our guest editors (Davide Luzzini, Joe Miemczyk, Veronica Devenin, Annachiara Longoni, and Bobby Banerjee) and develop your research ideas for submission to a special issue of JSCM.

🌍 Transparency in Supply Chains: Why It Matters🌍 Once an unfamiliar concept, transparency is now transforming the way businesses manage their supply chains globally. With new regulations like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the U.S. Forced Labor Prevention Act, there’s a growing demand for greater accountability in eradicating forced labor and safeguarding human rights. Curious about what transparency means for your supply chain and how to achieve it? Check out this insightful article from Harvard Business Review to learn more. 👇 https://lnkd.in/fUHnjiB? #SupplyChain #Transparency #Sustainability #HumanRights #BusinessEthics #Compliance #ESG

The frustration stemming from seeing the lack of information on the issues of human trafficking underscores the urgent need for research to drive towards comprehensive support systems for survivors, de-stigmatization of reporting, improved access to resources for healing and justice, and a cultural shift that unequivocally supports and believes survivors while holding perpetrators accountable. Ultimately, addressing this issue requires a collective commitment to seeking the intelligence and information necessary to bridge the gap in research to help drive this change. We at GHRI are committed to bridging that gap!! Mary Kate S. | Erika Anderson, PhD Veteran Voices | Supply Chain Now

Congratulations to Dr. Yongshin Park, Associate Professor of Operations Management, on his latest publication: "A Responsive Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design Under Demand Uncertainty." In his study, Dr. Park addresses the challenge of designing a closed-loop supply chain network (CLSCN) that integrates both forward and reverse logistics under demand uncertainty. This research is pivotal for developing green industrial supply chains and fostering a sustainable economy. Join us in celebrating Dr. Park's achievement and his contribution to sustainable supply chain management.

CSCMP EDGE Academic Research Strategies Symposium “Why aren’t our supply chains more resilient?” asks Stan Fawcett. There are many forces that are forcing supply chains to adapt and evolve. Some evolution occurs gradually (gradualism and natural selection) and some occurs quickly (punctuated equilibrium). There are also many forces that limit a firm’s ability to adapt to changes. Can we model these dynamics to understand what it really takes for companies to make their supply chains adapt more rapidly?

New IJOPM paper-poster! In their latest publication, "Does supply chain concentration improve sustainability performance: the role of operational slack and information transparency," Fu （Jeff） Jia (University of York), Ying Xu (Anhui University of Science and Technology), Lujie Chen (Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University) and Kieran Jude Fernandes (Durham University Business School) investigate how manufacturing firms' supply chain concentration (SCC) affects their sustainability performance and the role played by operational slack and information transparency in this relationship. The results of the study show that: 💡 The relationship between manufacturing SCC and sustainability performance displays a U-shaped curve. This suggests that SCC can be a potential means of increasing/decreasing sustainability performance. 💡 The moderating role of operational slack shows that the benefit and cost of SCC may be mitigated by other differentiation strategies.  💡 The moderating role of information transparency reveals that firms can improve the positive impact on sustainability performance by improving their capability to rationally use resources.

👀 Double Feature! Explore Supply Chain Sustainability with ♻ In honor of Earth Day, coming up on April 22nd, we're highlighting two recent interviews with , lecturer and research scientist at MIT CTL and co-director of the MIT FreightLab, which explore findings from the annual MIT CTL - CSCMP State of Supply Chain Sustainability report. 🌱 "...for me, Earth Day is a time to reflect on the health of our planet. And sometimes when we do that, I think we can easily find ourselves in a state of despair or state of concern that we’re not doing enough. I think that’s probably true. But it can also be very helpful to have something that makes you hopeful on Earth Day", David shared in his interview with DC Velocity.
