Theoretical Foundations of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM)
Sustainable development definitions
A development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs (WDEC,1987).
Socially inclusive and environmentally friendly economic growth (Sachs, 2015).
The principle of good governance (power of corporations bigger than countries, so make
sure these large power actors work together to the benefit of the society). (Sachs, 2015).
Sustainability is often conceptualized as a wicked problem.
A wicked problem is a social or cultural problem that is difficult or impossible to solve for as many as
four reasons: incomplete or contradictory knowledge, the number of people and opinions involved,
the large economic burden, and the interconnected nature of these problems with other problems.
From Triple Bottom Line (TBL) perspective to sustainability as complex network science
The traditional view has been very popular in the last decades, but it is a simplistic view.
Win-Win focus; only take sustainable actions if it make sense financially (make profit).
Emerging view is more realistic representation because it clearly shows the linkages between the
different systems. What happens in the environment or society can deeply or significally effect what
happens in the economic system. It acknowledges challenges, it does not always result in
profitability, you need to make choice. In the long term always prioritize environment first, society
second and the needs of the economic system last. Because the economic cannot exist if the
environment and the society system are decorated.
, Emerging View: Complex Network Science
Linkages between the three systems. Fact that a lot of linkages are still unknown to us yet.
Social and economic systems exist inside of and depend upon
environmental systems.
Sustainable development emphasizes the INTERACTIONS between
three complex systems.
Sustainable development as the science of COMPLEX SYSTEMS
EMERGING PROPERTIES of complex systems –characteristics emerge
from the interactions of the components to produce something that is‚
more than the sum of its parts‘
Unexpected characteristics, nonlinear way to respond to shocks
Instrumental View versus Ecologically Dominant Logic
Ecologically dominant logic draws on the complex network science approach to sustainability.
Why does this matter?
Comparison forest ecosystem (dense, balanced) and business ecosystem (less dense, less
relationships, clear focus on consumers and producers). Imbalance between actors barrier against
circular economy.
