Abstract

Studies examining the effect of sustainability decision-making comprehensiveness among supply chain alliances on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) performance have been underrepresented in the current literature. This linking relationship is investigated herein through the theoretical lens of the Organizational Learning Curve (OLC) and Learning from Limited Experience (LLE), and detailed insights under contingent conditions are also provided. The field research is based on a mixed-method approach, including two sequential studies—a quantitative survey followed by a qualitative study in Vietnam. Their results confirm and validate the proposed J-shaped, curvilinear effects of sustainability decision-making comprehensiveness on economic and social sustainability performances and a linear effect on environmental sustainability performance. Moreover, competitive intensity and opportunism moderate these direct effect relationships. We contribute to a crucial gap within the SSCM literature and expand the applications of both OLC and LLE while drawing up a set of practical guidelines in the studied subject matter.

期刊介绍： Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
