Summary: Supply chains are complex interlinked systems that can be disrupted at any level, affecting not only the network itself but also the surrounding environment and society. This study provides a comprehensive rationale for the concept of weakest links in supply chains, exploring the existing literature and identifying gaps for future research. The study focuses on the identification of weakest links and the determination of optimal security levels. The analysis reveals a lack of consensus on the definition of weakest links, with most studies being theoretical and lacking practical implications. There is a need for further research on threat-weakest link occurrence, countermeasures, and policy options.

Summary: Global broiler production and consumption levels are increasing, and South Africa's broiler system is dominated by commercial production and formal retail trade. However, current policies have narrow aims and fail to consider the long-term sustainability, health, nutrition, and environmental aspects of the system. This study developed a qualitative system dynamics model of the South African commercial broiler system and engaged stakeholders in policy discussions using a food systems approach. The modular format of the model presentation facilitated stakeholder engagement and highlighted the complexity and interlinkages of the system.

Summary: Sustainability considerations are increasingly important for manufacturing companies, especially in the early stages of product design, to promote the development of products and processes with better environmental and social benefits. However, existing sustainability assessment tools are challenging to apply in the uncertain and data-scarce frontend of innovation. A systematic literature review provides best practices and design propositions to improve early-stage sustainability assessment, along with recommendations for designing and implementing sustainability assessment tools in technology development. Opportunities for future research, including refining the design propositions and operationalizing early-stage sustainability assessment, are also proposed.

Summary: Higher education institutions are encouraged to become entrepreneurial universities to deliver their third mission and cultivate entrepreneurial graduates. This paper argues that many of the activities engaged in by these institutions can be categorized as intrapreneurship rather than entrepreneurship. The focus on intrapreneurial activities is seen as crucial for sustaining the entrepreneurial university status. By examining the entrepreneurial activities of five universities in Europe, this research highlights the intrapreneurial dimensions and provides insights for future research in the context of intrapreneurship and the entrepreneurial university.

Summary: This study introduces the concept of the 'mixed gamble' of external search breadth for family firms, highlighting the unique trade-off between financial and socioemotional wealth gains and losses. The study examines the influence of family management and family generational stage on this mixed gamble, as well as the impact of export propensity. The findings suggest that family firms with greater family management and in first-generation prioritize current SEW losses over potential gains, resulting in lower external search breadth. However, export propensity can alter this trade-off and lead to higher external search breadth.
