Summary: This paper conceptualizes the linkages between different categories of GSCM practices and business innovation, and verifies the hypotheses through a survey of Brazilian firms. The results show that the internal heterogeneity of GSCM practices has an impact on innovation. It is also suggested that interaction and mutual influence with external actors during the implementation of GSCM practices are crucial for achieving innovation. The practical contribution of this study is to prioritize certain types of GSCM practices to improve innovative processes and enhance organizational performance.

Summary: With the increasing attention on sustainability due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a significant rise in interest in the green supply chain. This study, utilizing the resource-based view theory, provides deeper insights into the integration of resource-based characteristics that can facilitate a smooth transition from traditional to green supply chains, as well as enhance the effectiveness of existing green supply chains. The findings confirm the positive associations between supply chain connectivity, supply chain information sharing, top management commitment, green procurement and logistics acceptance, and green supply chain management. Moreover, the study identifies the serial mediation effect of top management commitment and green procurement and logistics acceptance on the relationship between supply chain connectivity and information sharing with green supply chain management. This study offers practical insights and contributes to the development of a novel green supply chain management scale.

Summary: This paper proposes a bi-objective model for designing and optimizing a sustainable hierarchical multi-modal hub network, considering economic, environmental, and social aspects. The proposed model is validated using the case of a Turkish freight transportation network. Two multi-objective genetic algorithms (NSGA-II and NRGA) incorporating LP solving and Dijkstra algorithm are introduced, and the superiority of NRGA in terms of solution time is demonstrated. Additionally, alternative formulations and exact methods are utilized to find Pareto-optimal solutions, with the performance of AUGMECON2 shown to be superior based on multi-objective indicators.
