Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework and propositions to advance research and practice in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Performance indicators (economic, environmental, and social) identified in the paper aim to facilitate empirical testing of a range of theoretical models derived or extended from the stated propositions. Design/methodology/approach The study of SSCM is truly complicated, and there is no one theory that applies in all instances. The authors analyzed over 200 critical articles published in major supply chain management and sustainability-based journals and grounded the proposed framework in a multi-theoretical perspective. Findings SSCM implementation entails linking stakeholder pressures, moral motives, and management commitment with relational practices. The paper further elucidates how relational practices, when bundled together, can create a set of relational capabilities, which in turn transform stakeholder pressures into sustainable outcomes. Research limitations/implications The research framework contributes to SSCM theory building insofar as it can be expanded into various theoretical models, allowing researchers to empirically test the links among SSCM drivers, management commitment, and relational capabilities, along with their individual or collective impact on supply chain performance. Practical implications The framework provides a roadmap for firms to develop and nurture relational capabilities while dealing with growing stakeholder pressures. Moral motives strengthen top management commitment, which helps channel stakeholder pressures toward the proactive development of relational capabilities. Originality/value The paper fulfills a call for utilizing multiple theoretical lenses to examine complex SSCM phenomena and, ultimately, to create a coherent theory of SSCM.

Uncertainties and unpredictability in the market force companies to develop strategies which enable them to perform better than their competitors. Developing proper strategies for a supply chain is crucial. Strategies are affected by the nature of the firm's products or services, customer preferences, operations, process design of the firm, etc. Companies should form adaptive supply chain strategies which enable them to be resilient and flexible enough in the flow of materials, products, information, and money along the supply chain. There are many studies about supply chain management and supplier selection in the literature. However, the number of studies about the selection of the right supply chain strategy are very limited. This study presents the components which help to constitute a supply chain strategy and classify the supply chain strategies described in the literature. Lastly, it offers a strategy and criteria matrix which can be used as a road map for selecting the most appropriate supply chain strategy by firms.

The aim of the study was to develop an optimisation method for management of current assets of an industrial enterprise by the concept of logistics supply chains. The ways of acceleration of working capital turnover at the stages of supply, production and marketing of goods and services have been identified. The necessity of applying the concept of supply chain management to working capital management has been justified. This allowed defining the management principles in the supply chain of an industrial enterprise. As a result, a method for optimization of enterprise current assets of an industrial enterprise as a central element of a supply chain has been offered. It has been proved that the presented method makes it possible to determine the effect of working capital acceleration both in the material and financial subsystems. A tool for realisation of this effect is the structuring of working capital by title deeds.

This agility supply chain management is a complex project, because the running process is uncertain and dynamic. It requires realistic and feasible option mechanism and foundation process of the partnership and the problems that may come up in the cooperation process on the basis of the essence of the partnership. At present, China's enterprises are facing the challenges of the international market as its economic integration with the world. The traditional mode of operation of enterprises receives a serious impact internationally. Supply chain management theory and practice is increasingly showing its competitive advantage in the competition of global market. Supply chain management becomes a notable trend of development of China’s enterprise management. Under such a circumstance, the establishment of dynamic enterprise alliance and agile supply chain has become the survival weight of China's enterprises, so the study of agile supply chain management is imperative.

<p>This paper aims to understand factors determining location decision, or country selection of Readymade Garments (RMG) outsourcing in global supply chain management. In the process, this article fills a knowledge gap by proposing a unique model that relates country determinant factors and firm’s motives to location choice specific for RMG outsourcing moderated by firm’s size and age. The overall framework enlightens the scholars about the significance of distinguishing factors as the basis for differential outsourcing location decisions. Multinational managers may find it useful to identify the optimum outsourcing location decisions considering idiosyncratic factors that are unique to RMG outsourcing location decision. </p>
