Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Achieving sustainability in a firm requires a holistic, integrative, and complete view spanning not just the product and the manufacturing processes, but also the entire value chains, including manufacturing systems across multiple product life-cycles. This requires improved models, metrics for sustainability performance evaluation, and optimization techniques at product, process, and system levels. In the transitional period towards sustainability systems, organizations are practicing sustainability in their value chains as separate functions. Firms perform sustainability modeling and implement specific environmental or social management systems without integrating them into the management system, core business processes, and tools. Current information systems are not designed to capture the sustainability-related data and are not intended to support the management of data for all sustainability dimensions. Many pieces of these data could be qualitative and difficult to process and analyze. Thus, sustainable enterprise resource planning (S-ERP) systems are necessary to solve segregation and digitization problems.

Research into S-ERP is at the stage of introduction. There are a few numbers of studies that explore the current status, benefits, issues, challenges, and implementation process of the system. Therefore, in order to understand the important role of S-ERP systems in firms, in this Special Issue, we are interested in providing state‐of‐the‐art literature by progressing S-ERP research and stimulating innovation in the implementation of the firm's systems, considering, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Enterprise resource planning evolution towards sustainability
  • Concept and principal of S-ERP
  • S-ERP research significance
  • Benefits and advantages of the S-ERP
  • Transformation of the S-ERP system
  • Issues and challenges on S-ERP implementation
  • The life cycle of the S-ERP system
  • The architecture of the S-ERP
  • S-ERP system design and integration
  • Modelling and simulation of the S-ERP
  • Project management related to S-ERP implementation
  • Organizational culture, capability, and readiness in the S-ERP system adoption
  • Critical success factors of S-ERP system implementation
  • S-ERP system selection
  • Application of decision-making methods to evaluate the S-ERP system
  • Using neural networks models in the assessment of the S-ERP system
  • Optimization models for the S-ERP system

The purpose of this study was to conceptualise a framework that reflects an intertwined relationship between the green board committee and firm performance. Agency and stakeholder theories hold a basic notion of supporting the relationship between the green board committee and firm performance. The moderating role of intellectual capital (IC) was introduced in the intertwined relationship between green board committees and firm performance based on a resource-based view theory. This study proposes a new measurement index, namely, the “green board committee index”, to measure the green practices of organisations. This index is comprised of four dimensions: strategy and policymaking, monitoring and control, sustainability, and risk management. The current study hypothesised a significant and positive relationship between the green board committee and firm performance. It was believed that the moderation effect of IC strengthens the relationship between the green board committee and firm performance. The data for this study were proposed to be measured through a content analysis of the company’s annual and embedded reports and a Thomson Reuters DataStream terminal. It adds to the body of knowledge by alluding to an integrated notion of green board committees and IC concerning firm performance. The mentioned conceptual framework sends signals to legislators, regulators, policymakers, and practitioners on the critical insights and actions of green board committees in setting strategies and objectives, addressing sustainability issues, forging a relationship with stakeholders, and increasing the firm’s value from the business operations.

In the ever-changing environment, companies are often required to adopt improvised responses to certain unpredicted events and sometimes need to improvise strategically to sustain or thrive. However, the mechanism between strategic improvisation and competitive advantage is understudied. In this study, we try to unveil the mechanism by proposing a moderated mediation model investigating the relationships among strategic improvisation, organizational memory, organizational identity strength, and competitive advantage. Using survey data collected among top managers and members of funding teams in Jiangsu Province, China, we find that strategic improvisation is positively related to competitive advantage, and most importantly, this relationship is partially mediated by organizational memory. However, the moderating effect of organizational identity strength on the relationship between strategic improvisation and organizational memory is not proven. We contribute to the existing literature by making up for the deficiency of the traditional resource-based view to some extent, enhancing the understanding of strategic improvisation, and contributing to achieving sustainable development goals 8 and 12. We also offer some practical suggestions to top managers in terms of cultivating improvising learning as well. Full article

Managing stakeholders in construction projects is crucial since stakeholders are perceived as a significant source of uncertainty because of the various stakeholders involved, especially in mixed development projects. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method was used to analyse and select the most relevant publications from two identified databases: SCOPUS and Web of Science (WoS). Only 55 of 1600 publications were identified as relevant to stakeholder impact factors in the construction projects. Towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11, 10 stakeholder impact factors affecting the success of mixed development project management during the COVID-19 pandemic were identified and arranged by frequency: stakeholder engagement, stakeholder relationship, stakeholder attribute, stakeholder influence, stakeholder interest, stakeholder needs, stakeholder satisfaction, stakeholder expectation, and stakeholder behaviour. The outcome of this study would assist the construction project team in effectively managing and engaging with the relevant stakeholders to attain SDG 11 associated with sustainable cities and communities, specifically for the mixed development projects during the COVID-19 pandemic.
