Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of decision making for companies and governments. The United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets seeking to achieve prosperity and peace for people and the planet. This Special Issue seeks research broadly focused on supply chain management and operations management from the perspectives of environmental, economic, and societal sustainability in developed or developing countries or in a global partnership. We welcome research using modeling, empirical, or both methodologies and primary, secondary, or both types of data to generate new insights that could be of value to company managers and/or governmental policymakers. Some topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following: climate change, water shortage, renewable energy, food and waste management, ethical sourcing and labor practices, sustainable transportation, and new product development.

While prior research has consistently established a significant link between production and operations management (POM) practices and organizational financial performance (OFP) across various contexts, the mechanisms driving this connection remain unclear. This study addresses this gap by examining the mediating role of supply chain management (SCM) integration in the relationship between POM practices and OFP within manufacturing firms. Drawing on established theories and concepts such as the resource-based view (RBV) of firm and operation strategies, this study employed a quantitative research design. Survey data were collected from 209 managers in Jordanian manufacturing firms and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results confirmed a positive and significant association between POM practices and both SCM integration and OFP. Furthermore, SCM integration partially mediated the impact of POM practices on OFP, thereby underscoring its role in transmitting positive effects to financial performance. This research contributes to the field by integrating POM practices with SCM integration and by elucidating the mechanisms through which these practices influence financial performance in Jordanian manufacturing firms. Through this, our understanding of these relationships for practitioners and researchers alike is enhanced. Full article

Modeling Multi-Generation Product Diffusion in the Context of Dual-Brand Competition and Sustainable Improvement

The diffusion of competition under the coexistence of multi-generation products has become one of the important challenges faced by enterprises in their daily and sustainable operations. At the same time, the competition between different brands has intensified the difficulty and complexity of decision making in the process of multi-generation product operations. Therefore, based on the Norton–Bass model diffusion process, this paper introduces two marketing variables: dynamic price and quality level. Then, this paper builds a multi-generation product diffusion model under dual-brand competition and analyzes the impact of the company’s revenue on launch time to market, pricing, quality, and technical levels. By using the system dynamics (SD) method (from the perspective of strong brand and weak brand enterprises), the competition diffusion model is built and simulated. The simulation indicates the following: (i) When enterprises have the same brand competitiveness, reducing the pricing level cannot obtain more revenue and instead diminishes the overall revenue of the industry. Raising the pricing level can obtain more revenue and also improve the revenue of competitors. (ii) When the competitive strengths of enterprises are different, strong brands tend to maintain stable pricing on the basis of improving the quality level (or slightly raising the price). Weak brands tend to raise the pricing of new products significantly on the basis of improving the quality level. (iii) The launch-time-to-market decision of new products is influenced by the degree of the product quality upgrade. Therefore, the frequency of releasing new products should trade off against the degree of technological upgrading of the product quality. This research provides a theoretical basis and new insights for new product launches and operation decisions of enterprises. Full article
