Abstract

Abstract Background and Purpose: The comparative cross-sectional study examines the strategic supply chain management’s mediating effect on the sustainable operations through environmental and social sustainability within the businesses operating in Canada, Iran and Turkey to attain global perspective. Methodology: Over 200 small businesses in each country are included through combining purposive sampling, referrals, networking, and connections. For quantitative data analysis, the Smart partial least square structural equation modeling (SmartPLS-SEM) is employed. Results: Results showed that there is statistically significant positive mediating role of strategic supply chain on the sustainable operations (environmental and social sustainable) performances in all three selected economies. Findings further confirmed that within the multinational perspective, the SCM factors have higher significant positive impact within Canada in contrast to Iran and Turkey. Conclusion: This study offers a new theoretical contribution by examining the mediating role of strategic supply chain from multinational perspective to enhance existing body of knowledge. Furthermore, it offers a practical contribution by providing the strategic research framework to facilitate managers in improving the small businesses’ performance in sustaining operations.

战略供应链管理对可持续经营的中介作用：跨国视角

摘要背景与目的:本比较横断面研究考察了战略供应链管理通过环境和社会可持续性在加拿大、伊朗和土耳其经营的企业中对可持续经营的中介作用，以获得全球视角。方法:通过有目的的抽样、推荐、网络和联系，每个国家的200多家小企业都被包括在内。对于定量数据分析，采用Smart偏最小二乘结构方程模型(SmartPLS-SEM)。结果:结果表明，战略供应链对三个经济体的可持续经营(环境和社会可持续)绩效都有显著的正向中介作用。研究结果进一步证实，从多国角度来看，与伊朗和土耳其相比，SCM因素在加拿大具有更高的显著积极影响。结论:本研究从跨国视角考察战略供应链的中介作用，为完善现有的知识体系提供了新的理论贡献。此外，通过提供战略研究框架，促进管理者在持续经营中提高小企业的绩效，它提供了实际贡献。
