However, in the presence of Supply Chain Flexibility, Lean Production implementation no longer has a direct impact on Mass Personalization and business performance, but it does have an indirect impact through the flexibility it achieves (shown as a total mediating path).

Findings – Adopting a social network analysis approach, our review identifies specific nodelevel (i.e. degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality) and network-level (i.e. network density, network sub-groups, network diversity) structural properties that play a role in supply chain sustainability. Our results reveal that structural properties determine the extent of perception of sustainability risks, the diffusion of sustainability targets, introduction of sustainable innovations, development of sustainability capabilities, adoption of sustainability initiatives, as well as the monitoring of sustainability performance throughout the supply chain. Originality/value – Distinguishing between supply network and sustainable supply network types, our study extends the existing understandings of the role of network connectivity patterns in supply chain sustainability through synthesising and evaluating the extant literature.
