Drawing on resource dependence theory (RDT), we investigated how the degree of dependence of focal firms on suppliers and customers affects their CE performance. In addition, the study proposes digitization capability as a boundary condition for these relationships, given that the literature has repeatedly highlighted the critical role of digitization capability in supply chain relationship management. Employing hierarchical linear modeling on a panel dataset of listed Chinese manufacturers during 2010–2020, we found that the more dependent a firm is on its major suppliers and customers (the higher the supplier and customer concentrations), the worse its CE performance. In addition, we utilized data mining techniques to capture manufacturers' digitalization capabilities. We examined how digitalization empowers manufacturers to alleviate power imbalances in supply chain dependencies. Our results suggest that the manufacturers’ digitalization capability significantly weakens the negative impacts of supplier and customer concentrations on CE performance. Overall, this study contributes to the RDT and relationship management literature by highlighting the dark side of supplier and customer concentrations and introducing digitalization capability as a strategic response. These findings provide practical implications for managing the supplier and customer base in pursuing CE performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"30 4","pages":"Article 100902"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1478409224000086/pdfft?md5=440234df41b3bd773b97982e7638c19d&pid=1-s2.0-S1478409224000086-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139874178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on institutional theory and the practice-based view of strategy, a conceptual model is developed that maps the antecedents as well as performance outcomes of circular procurement practices in terms of the environmental and economic (i.e., cost and financial) dimensions of performance. Survey data from 255 Chinese manufacturers is then analyzed alongside qualitative data from two post-survey </span>case studies to achieve better interpretation of survey results.

Furthermore, circular procurement practices show a significant and positive effect on environmental, cost, and financial performance. Interestingly, the association between environmental performance and circular procurement is relatively weak in comparison to economic performance.

By analyzing a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2010 to 2020 based on logit regression models, we find that supplier firms engaging in public procurement are more likely to adopt CE practices. In addition, we find that an increase in firms’ market power weakens the positive effect of public procurement on CE adoption, whereas government attention and institutional ownership strengthen this effect. Furthermore, we distinguish between local governments and the Chinese central government as buyers and find that local governments play a more significant role in promoting CE adoption than the central government.

However, existing circular economy indicators do not account for all circularity dimensions (i.e., C₁-monetary, C₂-energy and environment, C₃-material, C₄-temporal and C₅-efficiency) and neglect key actors (i.e., collectors, recyclers, manufacturers, users) in the circular supply chain. Consequently, this results in biased decision-making when selecting supply chain partners, hindering the circular economy's progress. This study investigates the effectiveness of circular economy indicators and their constituent circular economy items at the circular supply chain level to better evaluate circular economy accomplishments. Out of the 63 circular economy indicators and 23 circular economy items identified, only three evaluate all five circularity dimensions, while nearly 40 percent fail to consider critical actors within the circular supply chain. Drawing on stakeholder theory, this study proposes a framework for developing an effective circular economy indicator. The proposed framework is validated through a hybrid approach, beginning with the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to ascertain the weights of circular economy items, followed by the fuzzy technique of order preference similarity to the ideal solution to rank recycling alternatives using the determined weights, and culminating with the linear programming to optimise the circularity based on the established rankings. This research emphasises the importance of covering all circularity dimensions and targeting all circular supply chain actors in aligning the goals of different entities with the broader objectives of the circular economy. It is the first study to provide guidance on developing circular economy indicators and evaluating circular economy performance from a circular supply chain perspective, serving as a solid foundation to achieve circular economy agendas. It affords purchasing and supply practitioners the opportunity to augment decision-making processes, optimise sustainability efforts, and bolster supply chain regulatory adherence and governance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"30 4","pages":"Article 100941"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1478409224000475/pdfft?md5=b279d4e770864bbc338e1cc2ed863591&pid=1-s2.0-S1478409224000475-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141035126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that DDSs support PSM within the CE by connecting the various actors and through extensive data exchange along the value chain. In addition, the findings identify two critical sets of information capabilities necessary for the effective use of DDSs in PSM: inter-organizational process capabilities and inter-organizational IT-based capabilities.

As a result, this study aims to investigate the interrelationship between CP barriers. Firstly, this study explores barriers through a thorough review of relevant literature with input from academic and industrial experts. Utilizing a classical triple-level framework, the work identifies and categorizes 21 barriers. Secondly, the study employs interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to examine the contextual relationships among the barriers. Thirdly, these barriers are classified into different categories using the MICMAC technique, based on their driving and dependence power. The research findings develop a hierarchical model of barriers, offering insights into which barriers are the most crucial and need immediate attention and how different barriers could influence each other.
