A Goal Programming Approach for Assessing the Financial Risk of Corporate Social Responsibility Programs in Agri - food Supply Chain Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
this paper provides an analytical framework for an Agri-food supply chain (ASC) network that consists of the farmers' group and/or cooperative (FGC) as a supplier of vegetables, modern retailers (MR), and end customers. In this network, FGC cannot supply vegetables direct to MR because they cannot fulfill the requirements as a qualified supplier. However, MR needs FGC as a supplier to shorten ASC network. In order to improve performance of FGC as a supplier, MR invests some amount of money in term of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. The CSR programs can be utilized by FGC to enhance business skills as a qualified supplier and to improve the quality of the vegetable distribution system. The framework is formulated as weighted goal programming and can be used to assess the financial risk faced by MR as the effects of CSR activities. The results show that the financial risk could be minimized and the benefit for both FGC and MR could be maximized.
