Summary: Although greater competitive activity is usually beneficial for gaining a competitive advantage, certain competitive actions by suppliers can have negative effects on buying firms, leading to reduced future purchases. This study focuses on vertical buyer-supplier relationships and investigates how a supplier's value-diminishing competitive actions can lead to decreases in the buyer's procurement allocations, with contextual factors playing a moderating role. Using a panel dataset of 12,690 buyer-supplier observations, econometric analyses consistently demonstrate the association between a supplier's value-diminishing actions and reduced purchases from the supplier. The downstream vertical relatedness of the supplier and the extent to which rival suppliers engage in value-diminishing actions are found to moderate this effect.

Summary: This study explores the predictors of US consumers' preferences for food foraging, including food engagement, food-related COVID-19 concerns, and the importance of sustainable foraging practices. The results show that food engagement is the strongest predictor for preferences for both foraging over buying and foraging over growing scenarios. Food-related COVID-19 concerns only appear to be relevant for the foraging over buying scenario, while the importance of sustainable growing practices is only relevant for the foraging over growing scenario.

Summary: With limited resources and increasing competition, it is crucial for businesses to make environmentally responsible decisions. That's why they choose to use green and traditional selection criteria to select suppliers. Green Supplier Selection (GSS) involves selecting suppliers based on their environmental performance, leading to reduced environmental impact, improved reputation, compliance with regulations, and cost reduction. This study aims to propose a novel GSS approach for food business packaging operations, using a combination of literature review, criteria determination, and application of the Pythagorean Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (PF-TOPSIS) method.

Summary: While trust and opportunism were traditionally considered as opposites, when viewed through the lens of paradox theory, they can coexist and complement each other in achieving sustainability in buyer-supplier relationships. A study using survey data from 259 German firms found that high trust and low opportunism facilitate sustainability collaboration, requiring a resolution strategy. On the other hand, trust and opportunism initially enhance sustainability evaluation, but then decrease, suggesting the need for a paradox acceptance strategy. The effects also vary between younger and mature relationships.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between supplier monitoring, cultural sensitivity, operations cognizance, and buyer firm performance using primary survey data from a sample of US manufacturing firms, combined with secondary data of supplier monitoring and financial performance. The findings suggest that supplier monitoring has positive but diminishing returns for financial and sustainability performance for the buyer. Increasing cultural sensitivity and operations cognizance for suppliers in emerging economies are associated with improved buyer performance. The synergistic use of supplier monitoring and operations cognizance is associated with improved buyer firm financial performance.
