Montabon, F., Pagell, M., & Wu, Z. (2016). Making sustainability sustainable
Introduction
This conceptual study seeks to move the field from:
- How can firms merely diminish environmental or social problems → how supply
chains can become truly sustainable.
Major weaknesses in previous logics are reviewed and Ecologically Dominant logic is
developed.
Relationship of interest in these reviews are:
- Tests of an instrumental logic where one construct, becoming more environmentally
or socially sustainable, influences another.
Instrumental logic:
- Key: Economic performance is the goal, not sustainability.
In the paper an alternative logic is offered called Ecologically Dominant (ED), that arguably
can lead to truly sustainable supply chains.
Ecologically dominant logic
- Economic/ social issues nestled inside environmental
issues.
- Tradeoffs: protect environment, then society then consider
profits
THE NEED FOR A NEW LOGIC
Consideration in building new way of thinking:
- Culture
- Logic
o Occurs at institutional level.
o Refers to framework that guide research/ practice in
SSCM.
- Cognition
o Driven by logic.
o Refers to individual/ organizational decisions made within SC.
Sustainability as a (potentially) integrated Logic
Triple Bottom Line (TBL): dominant concept in sustainability research
- Accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of performance
o Social
o Environmental
o Financial
- However, in practice not all three elements are treated equally. Managers intend to
maximize profit as much as possible.
Win-Win Perspectives
Win-win perspective
- Attractive: suggestions (demand on SC to be socially/ environmentally responsible)
are opportunities to improve profit
- However, creating truly sustainable SC result in win-win outcomes/ forces trade-offs
Thus, TBL and win-win perspectives are fine in theory, but not in practice.
,DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW LOGIC
Definition sustainability good starting point developing new logic:
- Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
- Updated definition: development that meets needs of the present while
safeguarding Earth’s life-support system.
Thus, environment central constraint of proposed Ecologically Dominant logic.
Second constraint is the social aspect of sustainability:
- Need to be supported by the environment, environmental issues have social
consequences.
- Social system is dependent on the environmental system.
Third constrain is economic aspect.
- Economic system is subservient (ondergeschikt) to social system.
- Ecologically Dominant logic is clear that protection of social systems, increasing
quality of life are the real goals.
For example, making more money for businesses or a country's economy can help protect
or improve society, but it is not the only way. Gains that damage society are not sustainable
in the long run.
Differences between current sustainability logic and proposed Ecologically Dominant Logic
In summary, sustainability is often only seen as a way to make money instead of looking at
the environmental and social benefits. This leads to companies not being responsible with
their decisions. The Ecologically Dominant logic makes sure that profits are not the most
important thing and encourages research that looks at the environmental and social
benefits.
, RESEARCH PROPOSITIONS
Framework of Ecologically Dominant sustainable supply chain management compared with
Instrumental Logic
Propositions 1 to 3 concern the Ecologically Dominant logic:
- Propositions underline how new logic leads to questions/ accounts for wider range
of stakeholders.
Propositions 4 to 6:
- Posit how Ecologically Dominant logic will impact managerial conditions, why SC
outcomes will change.
Proposition 1: When trade-offs exist, the instrumental logic favors supply chain economic
outcomes while the Ecologically Dominant logic favors ecology first, society next and supply
chain economic outcomes last.
Ecologically Dominant logic in essence says:
- Make as much money after you satisfied ecological/ societal stakeholders.
Instrumental logic (inside-out logic)
- Where, is it good for the firm?, is asked prior to asking about impacts on other
stakeholders
Proposition 2: the Ecologically Dominant logic will account for a wider range of stakeholders
and outcomes than the instrumental logic of sustainability.
Reframing the discussion around the Ecologically Dominant logic is an explicit attempt to
shift norms and values to change the institutional logic of managers and researchers. For
instance, Food supply chains have a clear societal role in sustaining human life. Workers in
food supply chains are often illegal immigrants, poorly paid and/or exposed to significant
safety and health risks. Supply chain research rarely recognizes these stakeholders; when it
does it is from the perspective of how these stakeholders are related to the focal (main)
firm's profits.
Proposition 3: The instrumental logic emphasizes satisfying customers’ demands while doing
the minimal amount of harm. The Ecologically Dominant logic emphasizes first satisfying
environmental and social constraints and then attempting to meet customer demands.
