Journal of Supply Chain Management

The deadline is approaching for proposals for the new Journal of Supply Chain Management developmental initiative 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐂𝐌. Unlike a traditional call for papers, this initiative supports authors from proposal to full paper, with guidance from leading methodological experts. The aim is to strengthen our community's ability to respond ambitiously to calls for novel #qualitativemethods. Organized by Eugenia Rosca, Aline Seepma, and Victoria Stephens, the program offers mentorship, interactive discussions, and a safe space to develop ambitious methodological and theoretical contributions to SCM. Proposal deadline: 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 Submit your interest here: https://lnkd.in/dZxUKiPP. Andreas Wieland Hannah Stolze Davide Luzzini

The new season of the Journal of Supply Chain Management Impact Conversations is here! In this episode, I am joined by Prof. Andreas Rasche to discuss the importance of sustainability regulations and the risks of fragmentation. During our discussion, we explain that, while simplifying reporting and due diligence regulations may be necessary, the extent of the changes proposed by the European Union could be dangerous and lead to long-term detrimental effects through deregulation. Thank you for joining us, Andreas. This is a very important and timely conversation, and we are grateful for your insights and support in helping us further this discussion. Everyone should read, teach and follow Andreas Rasche's work. He is Professor of Business in Society at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), where he is part of the CBS Centre for Sustainability. He also serves as Associate Dean for the Full-Time MBA Programme. His research explores the intersection of business, ethics, and sustainability. Andreas has taught on MBA and doctoral programmes, led executive education initiatives and collaborated with international institutions, including the United Nations. Join the conversation.

The new season of the Impact Conversations is here. In this episode, Prof. Andreas Rasche joins Dr. Hakan Karaosman to discuss the importance of sustainability regulations and the risks of fragmented regulations.

The new article, "An Agency Theory Perspective on Activist Investors and Supply Chain Failures: The Case of Product Recalls," coauthored by Jessica L. Darby, Kaitlin Wowak, David Ketchen, and Brian Connelly, is available #openaccess at https://lnkd.in/gRW2peZa. Despite the negative implications for the firm, its supply chain, and society, some firms are slow to initiate recalls. This study employs 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 to explore how 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 can accelerate recall decisions and whether their influence extends beyond the firms they directly target. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ❍ Analyses of 5,427 medical product recalls show that greater stock ownership by activist investors who have attacked other firms leads to faster recalls even when the focal firm is not directly targeted; ❍ The spillover effect is especially strong for design-related defects and high-severity defects that pose risks to consumers; ❍ The findings highlight how activist investor attacks create indirect pressure on other firms to recall defective products more quickly, strengthening supply chain resilience and protecting society. #productdefects #productrecalls #spillovereffects Andreas Wieland Hannah Stolze Davide Luzzini

Workers in global supply chains are not “passive and obedient.” I’m excited to share our new article in the Journal of Supply Chain Management on how factory workers in Vietnam navigate the gap between CSR policies and shop-floor realities (i.e. decoupling); and what this means for private governance and human rights due diligence. Building on Hirschman, we adapt Exit–Voice–Loyalty to Exit–Voice–Loyalty–Neglect–Cynicism, showing that workers mix and sequence strategies of their responses to CSR decoupling over time rather than choosing a single path. 💡 What we add - We center workers who both accept and resist CSR decoupling, extending a literature of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) that has focused mostly on buyers or suppliers. - We answer calls to humanize SSCM by foregrounding the factory floor and less powerful actors. - We tailor Hirschman’s model to supply chain contexts and their unique dynamics. 📄 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gqZcNDZg My deepest thanks to the co-authors, Prof. Chika Oka (my long-term idol even before starting my Ph.D!) and my super supportive, kind, wonderful supervisors Prof. Valentina Carbone and Prof. Aurélien Acquier. A special thanks to Prof. Andreas Wieland, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Supply Chain Management, and our anonymous reviewers for your constructive comments and attentive guidance through out the process. #SupplyChain #CSR #Decoupling #WorkerVoice #HumanRightsDueDiligence #Sustainability #GarmentIndustry #JSCM #ESG P.S. This piece belongs to my article-based doctoral thesis. It started as my first manuscript in 2020 and crossed the finish line just ahead of my defense, after many twists and turns.

The new article, "Brokering for the Benefit of Others: How Purpose-Driven Organizations Create Sustainable Supply Chains," coauthored by Eugenia Rosca, Madeleine Pullman, and Mark Pagell, is available #openaccess at https://lnkd.in/dVqq9N_5. While prior research has examined how for-profit organizations bridge structural holes in global supply chains, little is known about how 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (PDOs), which prioritize improving farmers’ livelihoods over profit, perform this role. This study advances knowledge on structural holes and 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 by uncovering how PDOs foster sustainability in coffee supply chains. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: ❍ The authors analyze 31 PDOs, including sourcing intermediaries and exporters in Colombia and roasters and importers in the Netherlands, United States, and United Kingdom; ❍ They identify two brokerage modes—single-direction and multi-stakeholder—through which PDOs connect isolated farmers to high-income markets; ❍ PDOs’ brokerage practices focus on aligning, empowering, educating, and mobilizing farmers while legitimizing novel practices across regulative, normative, and cognitive domains to improve marginalized suppliers’ livelihoods and advance sustainability goals.

Congratulations to Huashan (Jason) Li, recipient of the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 from Journal of Supply Chain Management! Jason shared several insights on what makes a constructive review and how reviewing has shaped his own research: 𝐎𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤: ❝ Reviewers should be clear about the expectations. For each issue spotted, provide some potential suggestions if possible. Be reasonable about methodology and keep in mind that every method has a limitation. 𝐎𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡: ❝ The experience brings me a focus on theoretical contributions and social implications in my research. 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬: ❝ Join the JSCM ERB developmental program if possible. Read the paper twice before writing review comments and focus on the big issues. Learn from other reviewers from decision letters. #OSCM #BestReviewer #Award Andreas Wieland Hannah Stolze Davide Luzzini

The coffee paper is out! Working on this project over the past four years has been a true joy—for me, my wonderful co-authors Madeleine Pullman and Mark Pagell, the University of Groningen students who explored this topic in their research, and the many audiences at conferences and talks where we shared our work. This paper is also deeply personal. I wrote and revised it while welcoming my second child and navigating his first year of life—an intense and challenging time. I could not have asked for more supportive co-authors than Mellie Madeleine Pullman and Mark Mark Pagell. A special thanks also goes to Andreas Andreas Wieland, who believed in this project from the start and offered invaluable guidance and encouragement along the way. A note to editors and reviewers: please be kind when delivering reviews — you never know what the person on the other side is going through. Happy Reading! https://lnkd.in/eJrBqxSf
