Sustainable supply chain clusters: an integrated framework

Purpose This research aims to provide a conceptual framework with the scope assist in establishing sustainable supply chain clusters (SCCs) by providing an instrument for organisations enhance three sustainability dimensions dynamic environment. Design/methodology/approach proposes and organisational performance through theoretical lenses: system theory, extended resource-based view capabilities (DCs) theory. approach is carried out comprehensive review of existing literature on SCCs. Findings Four main propositions are formulated demonstrated using developed framework, which expands discussion about SCCs their key characteristics particularly relevant as it allows empirical testing theories SCC context. Research limitations/implications It can be noted that more extensive needed further understand issues faced clusters. Drawing lenses establish helps understanding operational during after disruptions, such global disruption created COVID-19. Practical implications paves way help improve adaptability business environment emphasizing importance clustering linking DCs cluster. Originality/value guide organisations' use tools environment, given relationship amongst cluster design (SCCDCs), remains unexplored. The combination developing proposed will applicability these when they considered together.
