    Sustainability management beyond corporate boundaries: from stakeholders to performance
    (2013)
    Seuring, Stefan
    ;
    Gold, Stefan 
    Effectively integrating sustainability into firms requires action that exceeds organizational boundaries. These boundary-spanning activities are increasingly being taken up by corporate action and are spurred, accompanied, and reflected in a growing body of academic literature. This special volume of the Journal of Cleaner Production significantly expands our understanding of sustainable supply chain management, both on the theoretical and the practical side. In this way, the special issue is another bit of fuel that drives the dynamic evolution of this research field. This editorial amplifies on how the different papers contribute to the new developments of sustainable supply chain management. One key development in this respect is the rising debate about the performance implications triggered by the integration of sustainability and supply chain management. This ranges from stakeholder integration and the implementation of standards to supplier partnerships and the development of appropriate performance measures. Among future research needs supply chains in low-income countries stand out, which are still hardly addressed. Therefore, we call for further empirical research that sharpens supply chain management theory and critically evaluates real-world sustainability effects.

    Sustainable supply chain management in “Base of the Pyramid” food projects: A path to triple bottom line approaches for multinationals?

    Conducting business operations at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) have necessitated the need for multinational corporations (MNCs) to involve poor communities in production processes including management of critical supply chains. However, current research on the interface between supply chain management and BoP business operation is lacking. In analyzing three cases of BoP projects in the food industry this study addresses the question of how sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) applied to BoP projects can help MNCs to achieve their sustainability goals. Findings indicate that applying SSCM to BoP projects can complement economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. In particular, the BoP projects analyzed show viable paths for integrating the social domain of sustainability with general SSCM theory and practice. From the perspective of international business research, the findings help to link sustainability activities to MNC operations at the BoP. Accordingly, further research is needed to advance integration of these two research streams.

    Conducting content-analysis based literature reviews in supply chain management
    (2012)

    Gold, Stefan 
    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 of this paper is to elaborate on the importance of literature reviews in SCM. Design/methodology/approach – Literature reviews are defined as primarily qualitative synthesis. Content analysis is introduced and applied for reviewing 22 literature reviews of seven sub-fields of SCM, published in English-speaking peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2009. A descriptive evaluation of the literature body is followed by a content analysis on the basis of a specific pattern of analytic categories derived from a typical research process. Findings – Each paper was assessed for the aim of research, the method of data gathering, the method of data analysis, and quality measures. While some papers provide information on all of these categories, many fail to provide all the information. This questions the quality of the literature review process and the findings presented in respective papers. Research limitations/implications – While 22 literature reviews are taken into account in this paper as the basis of the empirical analysis, this allows for assessing the range of procedures applied in previous literature reviews and for pointing to their strengths and shortcomings. Originality/value – The findings and subsequent methodological discussions aim at providing practical guidance for SCM researchers on how to use content analysis for conducting literature reviews.

    Seuring, Stefan
    Das nachhaltige Management von Wertschöpfungsketten hat sich als Thema in Wissenschaft und Praxis etabliert. Dabei lassen sich zwei Ansätze unterscheiden, einerseits das Supply Chain Management für nachhaltige Produkte sowie andererseits das Lieferantenmanagement in Bezug auf Risiken und Performance.

    Barriers of food supply chains in Africa – a Delphi study
    (2012)

    Jeff, Ajang N. N.
    By means of the Delphi method, the study reveals structural and technological issues on the firm level as well as national policies as most relevant barriers of food supply chains in Africa. Second-rank issues are international trade and technology transfer as well as supply chain management. Regarding national governmental policies, the expansion and upgrading of infrastructure, primarily roads, rails, harbours and communication networks, are of main concern. On a farm or firm level two priority areas may be distinguished: On the producer stage, traditionally managed small-sized farms should be opened to technological, institutional and managerial innovations, while at the food processor stage innovations regarding the pre-treatment, preservation, handling and packaging of food need to be implemented. The findings are discussed against the background of previous research and the challenges involved. Productive food supply chains providing the local, regional and export market represent major weapons for considerably reducing poverty among smallholder farmers, poverty in general and for mitigating hunger.

    Supply chain and logistics issues of bio-energy production, Journal of Cleaner Production
    (2011)
    Gold, Stefan 
    ;
    Seuring, Stefan
    Within the concert of renewable energy technologies, bio-energy can play a decisive role during the next decades, when smartly designed and applied under favorable conditions. In this respect, efficient and effective supplychain and logistics management represent one key parameter. This paper presents a literature review of articles published in English-speaking peer-reviewed journals from 2000 to 2009, which cover the interface of bio-energyproduction and issues of logistics and supplychain management. First, the articles are assessed according to descriptive criteria such as journal, year of publication and research design applied. Then, issues and challenges of designing and operating biomass chains that secure stable and competitively-priced feedstock supply for bio-energy plants have been classified (1) into the operations harvesting and collection, storage, transport, and pre-treatment techniques as well as (2) into overall supply system design. Although biomass supplychains for energy use are manifold in terms of size, design, and functioning, most relevant issues regarding supplychain management and logistics of bio-energyproduction are identified. The findings are discussed against the backdrop of bio-energy as sustainable renewable energy option.
