Summary: This study, using data from 206 manufacturers in China, found that internal green strategy alignment plays a key role in driving supplier and customer green strategy alignment. Additionally, transformational leadership has a positive impact on all dimensions of green strategy alignment, while transactional leadership is only positively related to internal green strategy alignment.

Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain learning (SCL)-performance relationship based on a meta-analysis of 54 empirical studies. The results confirm the positive effects of SCL on the performance of firms and supply chains. Learning from customers has a stronger positive effect on performance than learning from suppliers, and joint learning has a stronger positive effect than absorptive learning. Business knowledge and explicit knowledge have greater effects on performance than general knowledge or tacit knowledge. The SCL-performance relationship is moderated by performance measure and industry type.

Summary: Industry and academia are increasingly recognizing sustainability as a competitive advantage in the supply chain. However, previous empirical studies on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) have shown mixed results regarding its impact on firm performance, with limited attention on the innovation dimension. Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis of 158 empirical studies to examine the relationship between SSCM and firm performance, considering potential moderating variables. The findings suggest that SSCM not only improves operational, economic, environmental and social performance, but also fosters innovation, with downstream SSCM contributing the most to firm performance.

Summary: Despite the increasing reliance on project teams and project-based organizations in recent decades, previous meta-analyses have neglected the examination of leadership styles in the context of projects. This study aimed to synthesize and investigate the contradictory evidence on the effects of transformational leadership and transactional leadership on project success through meta-analysis. The study also explored the moderating factors at both project-level and country-level. Based on 64 effect sizes from 41 primary studies, the findings revealed that transformational leadership had a stronger impact on project success compared to transactional leadership. The results also suggested that project-level factors (i.e., project size and project type) and country-level factors (i.e., power distance, collectivism, and economic status) played moderating roles in these relationships.

Summary: Integrating green practices into supply chain management is important for companies to balance environmental responsibility and increasing profits. This paper presents a meta-analysis of the relationship between green supply chain management practices and firm performance, finding a significant positive relationship overall and specifically for market-based, managerial, and accounting-based performance. However, the correlations vary considerably across studies, and the paper analyzes the influence of different GSCM practices and organizational characteristics to explain this heterogeneity.

Summary: Transformational leaders serve as role models, inspire innovation, and address the needs of their followers. However, the development of transformational leadership can be hindered by the impostor phenomenon. This study examined the relationship between impostor phenomenon and transformational leadership in STEM students. The findings revealed a negative association between impostor phenomenon and transformational leadership, and a positive association with transactional and passive leadership styles.

Summary: The asymmetric market power between a firm and its partners negatively affects the firm's financial performance. Building relationships with suppliers or customers that have matched market power is the best approach. The strength of the buyer-supplier relationship amplifies the negative impact of asymmetric market power, while the level of relationship embeddedness reduces its negative effect. Moreover, firm-specific institutional, industry, and regional economic heterogeneities also influence the financial impact of asymmetric market power.

Summary: The One-Warehouse Multi-Retailer (OWMR) system is a typical distribution and inventory system. Previous research has focused on heuristic reordering and allocation strategies, which are time-consuming and problem-specific. This paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm for OWMR problems, which infers a multi-discrete action distribution and improves performance with a random rationing policy.

Summary: Omnichannel retailers are using stores as distribution centers to provide faster online order fulfillment services. However, in-store picking operations can impact the offline customer experience. To address this, we propose a Dynamic In-store Picker Routing Problem (diPRP) that minimizes customer encounters while fulfilling online orders. Our solution approach combines mathematical programming and reinforcement learning to find efficient picking policies that reduce customer encounters.

Summary: This research conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) and content analysis on Supply Chain Coopetition (SCC) through the PRISMA framework. It examines the theory of coopetition and organizational relationships in intra-firm and inter-firm supply chains, focusing on collaboration between rival manufacturers. The study identifies structures and mechanisms of coopetition, such as buyer-supplier coopetition, supply networks coopetition, and production and distribution/logistics coopetition. It provides a holistic approach to SCC management practices and serves as a guide for future research.
