PublicationImplementing Voluntary Sustainability Standards in Value ChainsThis paper discusses organizational key capabilities allowing focal firms to implement previously defined voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) (e.g., codes of conduct) in their entire value chain(s). Our case study research identifies five key capabilities of a focal firm to make value chain partners (i.e. direct tier-1 as well as indirect tier-2..n subsuppliers) comply with VSS: inter-firm dialogue, risk management, external stakeholder collaboration, cross-functional integration, and continuous improvement. We propose that those capabilities are contingent on the prevailing power relationship between the firm and its suppliers. The organizational key capabilities identified may extend the theory of institutional entrepreneurship with concepts that facilitate the institutional change in value chains with respect to corporate sustainability.Type: conference paperVolume: Session 150

PublicationThe Implementation of Voluntary Sustainability Standards in Supply Chains : A Capability ViewOur exploratory case study research identifies five key capabilities of a focal firm to implement previously defined voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) (e.g., codes of conduct) in their entire supply chain(s), ultimately making supply chain partners (i.e. direct tier-1 as well as indirect tier-2..n sub-suppliers) comply with the VSS: inter-firm dialogue, risk management, external stakeholder collaboration, cross-functional integration, and continuous improvement. We further propose that those capabilities are contingent on the prevailing power relationship between the firm and its suppliers.
