How supplier diversity and enabled minority businesses create stakeholder value in underserved communities
While large purchasing organizations (LPOs) implement supplier diversity (SD) programs to support minority business enterprises (MBEs) and create value-added diverse supply chains, many SD initiatives fall short of enabling MBEs and generating the desired impact. This paper explores how supplier diversity can be transformative in helping grow and enable MBEs to create stakeholder value in underserved communities. This multi-case study takes an MBE-focused approach to examine the efficacy of SD programs, the relationship facets that underpin mutually beneficial relationships between LPOs and MBEs, and the enabled MBEs' impact on their stakeholders' economic and social well-being. We find that enabled MBEs can be change agents to revitalize underserved communities, generating ripple effects by creating jobs, improving employee well-being, and growing local businesses, helping underserved communities move closer toward economic equality and inclusion.
