Stakeholder roles in sustainable supply chain management: a literature review
(2022-10-25)
Since ecological deterioration and social discrepancy are intensifying, multiple stakeholders are driving companies to incorporate sustainability in their supply chains. Thus, integrating non-traditional supply chain stakeholders, such as non-governmental organizations and competitors, in supply chain practices is essential for achieving a more sustainable supply chain. Hence, this research aims to show how stakeholders and their roles are related to sustainable supply chain management practices. A systematic literature ...

Dies bringt viele Vorteile, aber auch ein gesteigertes Konfliktpotenzial mit sich. Folglich gewinnen Konfliktmanagementstrategien für virtuelle Sitzungsformate zunehmend an Relevanz. Im Folgenden wird ein praxisrelevanter Handlungsleitfaden für virtuelles Konfliktmanagement dargelegt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es von besonderer Bedeutung ist, eine realitätsnahe Begegnungssituation durch Videokonferenzen, ...

Sustainability performance measurement in risk and uncertainty management: An analysis of base of the pyramid supply chain literature
(2022-10-10)
Risk management in the base of the pyramid (BoP) environment is needed to ensure that firms performance objectives are met. Accordingly, integrating sustainability performance measurement in the supply chain risk management would offer interesting avenues for managing risks in BoP supply chain. Therefore, the paper conceptualizes an intersection between supply chain risk/uncertainty management and sustainable performance measurement. This intersection is then tested by a literature review of 164 BoP SC articles between ...

Sustainable value in the fashion industry: A case study of value construction/destruction using digital twins
(2022-12-14)
New technologies—especially the emergence of digital fashion and a growing interest in creating digital twins (DTs)—are expected to alter existing value chains in the fashion industry as DT technology triggers a redesign of value creation processes. This qualitative case study demonstrates how and to what extent the development of DTs in the fashion industry addresses the sustainability needs of various stakeholders in both real-world and virtual-reality settings. The article examines the possibilities, benefits, and ...

Grenzjustierungen - Bildungsbiografien Zugewanderter zwischen Qualifikation und Re-Qualifizierung
(transcript Verlag, 2022-04-27)
Die leitenden Forschungsfragen dieser Studie lauten: Wie kommen Menschen, die in jüngerer Vergangenheit nach Deutschland immigriert sind, zu einer ›erneuten Bildungsteilnahme‹? Wie ist der Weg dorthin vor dem Hintergrund des biografischen Erlebens zu deuten und welche Strategien legen sie an den Tag? Damit zielt die Studie auf Wirkungsweisen verschiedener Prozesse, die in einem größeren Gefüge der Selbstkonzepte sowie der institutionellen Vorgaben in Deutschland kritisch in ein Verhältnis zu setzen sind.

Pathologies of a Different Kind: Dysfunctional Interactions between International Organizations
(2022-01-17)
This article develops the concept of “interorganizational pathologies” as an extension of Michael N. Barnett and Martha Finnemore's work on bureaucratic pathologies. Adopting an open system perspective, I argue that dysfunctional interactions may arise between international organizations (IOs) even when their cooperation is fairly institutionalized. To advance this line of reasoning, I examine interactions between the International Monetary Fund (IMF or Fund) and the World Bank (or Bank). Evidence from more than ...

Societal Evaluation of Bioeconomy Scenarios for Germany
(2022-05-05)
Transitioning to a bio-based economy is widely perceived as a necessary way to tackle climate change and other key environmental challenges. Given the major socio-economic consequences that such a transition entails for people’s everyday lives, it is crucial to take account of citizens’ perceptions and levels of acceptance of these changes. This study applies a holistic approach to gain an understanding of how citizens in Germany assess possible developments associated with transitioning to a bioeconomy. We developed ...

Romance and the ozone layer: panel evidence on green behavior in couples
(2022-02-03)
The exploration of the drivers of interpersonal alignment processes in romantic partners is particularly relevant to policies that promote green behavior because social anchoring in families and relationships can undermine effective behavioral change. The present paper aims to investigate the role important life events, such as childbirth, marriage, and the acquisition of real estate, in explaining the alignment of pro-environmental behavior within couples over time. The adoption of a life-course perspective is a ...

Coachingforschung meets Coachingpraxis
(2022-07-26)
Coachingforscher:innen wie auch Expert:innen der Coachingpraxis versichern sich häufig ihrer wechselseitigen Bedeutsamkeit und Relevanz. Doch unter der Wasseroberfläche brodelt es: Nehmen die Praktiker:innen den wachsenden „body of knowledge“ in der Forschung überhaupt zur Kenntnis? Oder ist es aus ihrer Perspektive nicht vielmehr so, dass Forschung und die daraus resultierenden Publikationen weder inspirieren noch informieren noch instruieren? Auf der anderen Seite schütteln Wissenschaftler:innen den Kopf darüber, ...

Industry 4.0-driven operations and supply chains for the circular economy: a bibliometric analysis
(2022-06-01)
The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) concept paves the way for the circular economy (CE) as advanced digital technologies enable sustainability initiatives. Hence, I4.0-driven CE-oriented supply chains (SCs) have improved sustainable performance, flexibility and interoperability. In order to smoothly embrace circular practices in digitally enabled SCs, quantitative techniques have been identified as crucial. Therefore, the intersection of I4.0, CE, supply chain management (SCM) and quantitative techniques is an emerging research ...
