Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The globalization of supply sources and demand markets provides many advantages to organizations and individuals around the world. However, the benefits of global supply chains need to be balanced with respect to risks of disruption, as well as challenges of efficient and responsive performance in the face of various operational and strategic complexities. For example, international shipping is highly reliant on the smooth operations of two major infrastructural bottlenecks, the Suez and Panama Canals. Over the past year, both major thoroughfares for global supply chains became significantly restricted due to disruptions: the Suez Canal route at the mercy of wartime tensions around the Red Sea, and the Panama Canal with capacity limits due to low water levels from sustained drought conditions in Central America. These risks might generally be referred to as geopolitical and natural disasters, respectively. Both are commonly cited risks of supply chain globalization. Of course, there are numerous other types of risks for supply chains to navigate such as sudden economic changes, information opacity, exchange rates, regulatory heterogeneity and compliance with principles of corporate social responsibility.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish relevant and rigorous research which intersects supply chain risk(s) with organizational performance. We are open to theoretical and applied papers that bring together perspectives of supply chain risks, mitigation tactics and performance.

With increasing pressures on big businesses to expand performance objectives beyond financial metrics and to include social and environmental objectives, business organizations experience rising tension in balancing these various objectives. Oftentimes, subjective narratives can weigh in on the relative importance of competing objectives. This subjectivity is a contributing factor to findings of inconsistent and mixed results for the financial impact of an organization’s environmental performance in the prior literature. Our research effort seeks to provide a positivist perspective on the relationship between environmental performance and financial performance of companies. Also, given the importance of efficient operations for corporate success, we examine the influence of operational productivity on the environmental and financial performance relationship. Using a global dataset compiled from reputable sources, including 1738 unique firms spanning between the years 2011 and 2020, we find statistically significant results that indicate that lower carbon emissions are associated with higher profitability when a firm has competitively high operational productivity. Companies with operational productivity that is competitively low do not perform well financially when carbon emissions are low. Thus, our study fills a research gap in this domain by relying exclusively on a broad set of purely objective data and illuminating the importance of operational efficiency on the relationship between the environmental performance and financial performance of firms.
