Book Description
Institutional environments not only guide organizations' behaviors and strategic activities but also influence organizational performance. Although they are powerful drivers of organizational performance, some organizations can achieve superior performance than their peers. The goal of this dissertation is to better understand the effect of institutional environments on firm performance and the moderating role of supply chain network centralities. Included is a multi-level investigation through three essays that explores the moderating effects of supply chain network centralities on the relationships between government contracting, industry regulations, and corporate executive social networks on firms' financial and social performances. The empirical analysis in Essay 1 presents that government contracting bolsters suppliers' short-term financial performance, which nonetheless negatively affects long-term performance. Supply chain network quality, measured as eigenvector centrality, ameliorates the negative effect of government contracting on long-term performance. Network quantity, measured as degree centrality, demonstrates a negative moderating effect. Essay 2 reveals that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between industry policies and industry productivity. This relationship is flattened when the industry network quality is higher. Essay 3 shows that firms' engagement in corporate social responsibility is lower when CEOs have prominent network positions. However, the negative influence of CEO network prominence on corporate social responsibility is weakened when firms have higher supply chain network prominence, material and financial flows. In summary, this research makes unique contributions to the supply chain management and network analysis literature by postulating the dynamic relationships among the individual-, firm-, and industry-level networks.

Book Description
The book aims to present a multi-dimensional view on the blockchain-driven supply chain management and its linkage with open innovation, digital technologies, supply chain sustainability, mapping, visibility, and resilience. It offers topic from three important themes: first, what is the architecture and design of BCSCM and how does it differ from the conventional supply chains; second, performance impacts of BCSCM; and third, implementation challenges and role of leadership. Hence, the book provides a diverse perspective on the understanding, architecture, impacts, and implementation of blockchain-driven supply chain management. It shows the importance of blockchain-driven supply chain management for contemporary organizations: how it contributes to supply chain traceability, resilience, and sustainability. The book also demonstrates as to how adoption of blockchain-driven supply chain management requires to consider intangible forms of intellectual capital (human, processes, and relationships), which is different from more traditional forms. This is a book for supply chain management practitioners, researchers, and academician who want to understand the role of blockchain in supply chain, for supply chain managers who want to be at the cutting edge by adopting the BCSCM, for those early in their careers who seek a challenging new path, and for the top-level managers of the world who have their eye on the future.

Book Description
The Digital Supply Chain is a thorough investigation of the underpinning technologies, systems, platforms and models that enable the design, management, and control of digitally connected supply chains. The book examines the origin, emergence and building blocks of the Digital Supply Chain, showing how and where the virtual and physical supply chain worlds interact. It reviews the enabling technologies that underpin digitally controlled supply chains and examines how the discipline of supply chain management is affected by enhanced digital connectivity, discussing purchasing and procurement, supply chain traceability, performance management, and supply chain cyber security. The book provides a rich set of cases on current digital practices and challenges across a range of industrial and business sectors including the retail, textiles and clothing, the automotive industry, food, shipping and international logistics, and SMEs. It concludes with research frontiers, discussing network science for supply chain analysis, challenges in Blockchain applications and in digital supply chain surveillance, as well as the need to re-conceptualize supply chain strategies for digitally transformed supply chains.

Book Description
The most important theme of the discourse on sustainable development and sustainability challenges concerns the relationship between innovation and sustainability. This book represents a realistic critical overview of the state of affairs of sustainable innovations, offering an accessible and comprehensive diagnostic point of reference for both the academic and practitioner worlds. In order for sustainable innovation to truly become mainstream practice in business it is necessary to find out how organizations can strategically and efficiently accommodate sustainability and innovation in such a manner that they accomplish value capturing (for firms, stakeholders, and for society), not merely creating a return on the social responsibility agenda. Addressing this challenge, the book draws together research from a range of perspectives in order to understand the potential shifts and barriers, benefits, and outcomes from all angles: inception, strategic process, and impact for companies and society. The book also delivers insights of (open) innovation in public sector organizations, which is not so much a process of invention as it is one of adoption and diffusion. It examines how the environmental pillar of the triple bottom line in private firms is often a by-product of thinking about the economic pillar, where cost reductions may be achieved through process innovation in terms of eliminating waste and reducing energy consumption. The impact of open innovation on process innovation, and sustainable process innovation in particular, is an underexplored area but is examined in this book. It also considers the role of the individual entrepreneur in bringing about sustainable innovation; entrepreneurs, their small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as the innovation ecosystems they build play a significant role in generating sustainable innovations where these smaller organizations are much more flexible than large organizations in targeting societal needs and challenges. The readership will incorporate PhD students and postgraduate researchers, as well as practitioners from organizational advisory fields.

Book Description
This book explores the nature and type of prevalent collective behavior that influences women empowerment, women workforce participation and behavior change in sanitation. The influence of collective norms and customs have been investigated through a series of studies throughout India. There are very few research works on understanding social norms that distinguishes it from a range of other collective behaviors. This understanding would not only improve analytical clarity on collective behavior in general and social norms in particular, in the context of gender and sanitation, but also improve development practice in these areas. This book is also novel as it would expound the social network in the context of sanitation behavior in India. The tools and techniques discussed in the book are replicable and hence would be helpful for other researchers and development practitioners to analyse other collective behaviours.

Book Description
This book systematizes the concepts of business relationships and network embeddedness, taking a new approach to internationalization, relevant for the global economy. It reflects the growing importance of network internationalization theory and explores the impact of embeddedness in domestic and foreign relationships on a company’s performance. The author questions the validity of the distinction between domestic and foreign activity of companies and demonstrates that in the B2B market, there are actually no exclusively domestic companies which are not directly or indirectly connected with foreign entities. Chapters cover both small to medium sized enterprises and large multinational corporations, presenting a qualitative analysis of over 400 companies including case studies from the IT and furniture industries. This informative study will provide useful insight for academics and students of business and management, international business and organization studies.
