Using survey data from 285 manufacturing firms in Ghana, we find that PSP directly drives SRSC initiatives, while SSP does not. However, supply chain ambidexterity, which balances alignment and adaptability, partially mediates the PSP–SRSC link and fully mediates the SSP–SRSC relationship. The moderation effect of SSP on the path between PSP and SRSC was not supported. This study makes key contributions. First, it highlights manufacturing firms' role in socio-economic development by enhancing productivity while ensuring the welfare of supply chain actors. Second, the distinct effects of stakeholder pressures provide contextual insights and opportunities for theoretical extension. Finally, firms and policymakers must foster an environment where secondary stakeholders, such as the media, can meaningfully influence SRSC agendas.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this editorial study, we find support for the notion that logistics and supply chain management is a genuinely cross-functional profession, as more than half of the 293 executives identified in the original study are now working in other functions. This proliferation of talent can help firms increase supply chain awareness and spread expertise. Further, we find that 44.0% of the logistics and supply chain executives have advanced their hierarchical level, with 10.6% making it to the board level. We show with a panel of new supply chain executives that the six career patterns previously identified still hold.

Econometric methods, panel data from 1440 Chinese listed companies, as well as a text mining approach are used to evaluate the impacts of SCD. This study finds that SCD generates dual effects on enterprises due to resource specificity. Aligning with the majority of existing research, this study confirms the positive impacts of SCD on supply chain capabilities. However, SCD also leads to resource redundancy within firms. The dynamic analysis further reveals that the overall impact of SCD on firm performance is initially nonsignificant but becomes positive over time. The distinctiveness of this study lies in its all-encompassing approach to the effects of SCD by offering a paradoxical perspective.

As an important technology investment input, firms should have a holistic consideration of their level of digital technology adoption, focusing on the entire supply chain. Using empirical evidence from the data of listed companies in China from 2007 to 2022, we find that a higher discrepancy in the level of digital technology adoption between the focal firm and its suppliers and customers negatively affects the focal firm's financial performance. Additionally, the focal firm's own capabilities, including bargaining and innovation capabilities, play a negative moderating role in the impact of digital technology adoption discrepancy, which can mitigate the negative impact of the gap in digital technology adoption between itself and its suppliers and customers on the firm's financial performance. Our findings thus provide implications for firms to implement a “go-together” approach to match their digital technology adoption level with their partners' to synchronize the adoption level of digital technology along the entire supply chain and enhance their negotiation and innovation capabilities to improve their resilience and sustainable development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144135852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, we conclude with a brief discussion of a growing concern whereby excessive demands from another key party in the paper development process—reviewers—actually encourage the presenter's paradox to arise by forcing authors to add material that undermines the overall quality of the end product.

The fsQCA identifies three alternative configurations of digitalization and triple-A capabilities that firms use to achieve resilience, providing evidence for joint effects.

Compared to previous studies, a new studying perspective regarding the concept of ‘BC trust’ arises. Starting from technology–organization–environment (TOE) theory, this paper also offers an interpretation of how TOE factors intervene in the adoption of different BC systems by agents.

More importantly, it serves as a catalyst for corporate sustainable development (SD). However, a pressing question remains unanswered: Can corporates effectively align the resources, capabilities, and competitive advantages of SCF with SD, especially when bolstered by digital transition (DT)? Drawing on information asymmetry and synergy theory, this study reveals the intricate mechanisms through which SCF influences corporate SD and highlights the financial and supply chain effects, as well as the moderating role of DT. Leveraging the generalized method of moments, we conduct a rigorous empirical analysis using data from A-share listed companies spanning 2010–2021. Our findings robustly affirm that SCF significantly propels corporate SD, and this conclusion is reinforced by extensive robustness checks and endogeneity analyses. Delving deeper, we establish that SCF not only alleviates financing constraints but also enhances relationship embedding, thereby driving SD. Notably, these pathways exhibit marked variations across different types of enterprises. Intriguingly, our research further reveals that advancements in corporate DT amplify the positive impact of SCF on SD, while also augmenting the financial and supply chain effects of SCF. These insights not only offer a novel lens for evaluating the economic ramifications of SCF but also provide compelling empirical evidence that SCF, when synergized with DT, becomes a powerful enabler of corporate SD. Our findings are of considerable significance for sustainable business practices in the digital age.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
