Global concerns have been raised regarding the environmental sustainability of the system due to life cycle impacts, including land losses from fuel extraction and impacts of combustion emissions. An approach to reduce carbon emissions of fossil fuel-based energy employs the conversion of wind energy to electrical energy. The work presented describes modern wind power plants and provides an environmental assessment of a representative wind park from a life cycle perspective. The empirical analysis uses commercially available data, as well as information from an existing wind power plant. The life cycle assessment (LCA) study for a modern wind farm in the northwestern U.S. found that environmental benefits of avoiding typical electricity production greatly outweigh the impacts due to wind turbine construction and maintenance. Effects of component reliability, varying capacity factors, and energy portfolio are explored. %8 2011 %G eng %2 d %4 27132614657 %$ 27132614657 %0 Case %D 2010 %T Country Natural Beef: A Coop at Crossroad %A Pullman,Mellie %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Supply Chain %X a teaching case on sustainability and supply chain management, I used it in the MBA class and the case is well received.

Based on three company case studies in the information technology and electronic industries in China, we identify and demonstrate how a blended business and environmental value can be created from adopting a sustainable supply chain management approach. The adoption of a sustainable supply chain management approach is rapidly becoming a key business challenge and opportunity in China and other large emerging economies around the world, where our greatest environmental management challenges currently reside and will continue to exist for many years to come. The value creation framework proposed in research focuses on evaluating three case study companies who appear in various stages of an electronic industry supply chain. Value creation within a supply chain can provide the impetus for organizations to adopt circular economy, sustainable supply chain practices, for competitive reasons. In addition, we describe how a value proposition can be evaluated at two levels of analysis, a more specific micro-level and a more general meso-level of analysis. The four major business value dimensions include cost reduction, revenue generation, resiliency, and legitimacy and image. The initial findings are that a variety of opportunities exist for electronic firms in emerging and developing countries, while results from this study provide an important scholarly foundation to develop and refine sustainable supply chain management practices in emerging and developing economies. %B Journal of Cleaner Production %V 18 %P 1494-1501 %8 2010 %G eng %N 15 %2 a %4 25905199105 %$ 25905199105 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing %D 2010 %T Exploring Supply Managers' Intrapreneurial Ability and Relationship Quality. %A Steward,Michelle %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Hartley,Janet %K Supply Chain %X This article examined the degree to which a supply manager's intrapreneurial ability influences the quality of individual-level relationships with internal customers and the supplier's account executive. The moderating influence of the buyer's firm-level commitment to the supplier and how these relationships subsequently impact supplier performance were explored. The study assessed the supply manager's intrapreneurial ability using survey data gathered from 110 supply managers across a variety of industries. In key supplier relationships, a supply manager's intrapreneurial ability positively influences the quality of internal and external relationships. The firm's commitment to the supplier weakens the relationship between intrapreneurial ability and relationship quality. The findings highlight the value of individual skills to enhance relationships The ability to behave intrapreneurially shapes the quality of internal and supplier relationships. However, only the supply manager's relationship with the supplier's account executive is related to supplier performance. By examining the impact of intrapreneurial ability on individual-level relationships with internal customers and supplier's account executive, a more comprehensive view of business-to-business relationship management in the supply chain is gained. %B Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing %V 17 %P 1-12 %8 2010 %G eng %U http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a922183362~db=all~jumptype=rss %2 a %4 17214513153 %$ 17214513153 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Operations Management %D 2010 %T Supplier-Supplier Relationships in Buyer-Supplier-Supplier Triads: Implications for Supplier Performance %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Choi,T.Y. %A Rungtusanatham,M. %K Supply Chain %X A growing number of studies and evidence from industries suggest that, besides managing the relationship with its suppliers, a buyer needs to proactively manage the relationships between those suppliers. In a buyer–supplier–supplier relationship triad, the buyer, as the contracting entity, influences the suppliers’ behaviors and the relationship between them. By considering the relationships in such a triad, we are able to gain a richer and more realistic perspective of buyer–supplier relationships. In this study, our goal is to examine supplier–supplier relationships in buyer–supplier–supplier triads, focusing on how such relationships impact the supplier performance. We frame the supplier–supplier relationship as co-opetition—one in which competing suppliers work together to meet the buyer's requirements. We investigate the role of the buyer on such relationships, and how the buyer and co-opetitive supplier–supplier relationships affect supplier performance. We find mixed empirical support for our hypotheses. However, we are able to demonstrate the dynamics of supplier–supplier co-opetition in the buyer–supplier–supplier triad. We point out the need for further studies in this area. %B Journal of Operations Management %V 28 %P 115-123 %8 2010 %G eng %N 2 %2 a %4 16765743105 %$ 16765743105 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Supply Chain Management %D 2010 %T Thinking Differently About Purchasing Portfolios: An Assessment of Sustainable Sourcing %A Pagell,Mark %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Wasserman,M. %K Management %K Supply Chain %X Purchasing portfolios are a well accepted part of the supply chain literature. Yet during a recent data collection effort we observed that a number of leaders in sustainable supply chain management were not organizing their purchasing portfolios in the manner suggested by Kraljic (1983). Specifically, we found evidence of organizations buying what would traditionally be leveraged commodities in a manner more suited to strategic suppliers. This manuscript describes the observed phenomena and then uses theory to try and explain our observations. The end result is a modified sustainable purchasing portfolio model. %B Journal of Supply Chain Management %V 46 %P 57-73 %8 2010 %G eng %N 1 %2 a %4 16869744641 %$ 16869744641 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Supply Chain Management %D 2009 %T Building a More Complete Theory of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Using Case Studies of Ten Exemplars %A Pagell,Mark %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Management %K Supply Chain %X Case studies of 10 exemplar firms are used to build a coherent and testable model of the elements necessary to create a sustainable supply chain. The cases build on previous research by examining the chain as an entirety, by explicitly examining both the social and environmental outcomes of the chain's activities, and by explicitly asking what these exemplar organizations are doing that is unique in regards to managing their supply chains in a sustainable manner. The analysis suggests that the practices that lead to a more sustainable supply chain are equal parts best practices in traditional supply chain management and new behaviors, some of which run counter to existing accepted “best” practice. %B Journal of Supply Chain Management %V 45 %P 37-56 JSCM Best Paper of the Year; Citation of Excellence Awards for 2013 (Emerald) %8 2009 %G eng %N 2 %2 a %4 11961595905 %$ 11961595905 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management %D 2009 %T Taking the Leap from Dyads to Triads: Buyer-Supplier Relationships in Supply Network. %A Choi,Thomas %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Supply Chain %X A network is made up of nodes and links. The smallest unit that consists of both these network elements is a dyad made up of two nodes (a buyer and a supplier) and the link that connects them (a buyer–supplier relationship).

Naturally, the focus of the supply chain management literature has been on this dyad. For instance, a buyer affects a supplier through its supplier evaluation and certificate programs, as well as long-term agreement practices. The relationship between a buyer and its supplier has been characterized as cooperative or adversarial. We have learned a great deal about supply chains through such studies in dyadic context.

However, we submit that in a network, a dyad is not the smallest unit of a network. In fact, the smallest unit is a triad, made up of three nodes and the links that connect them. If so, how would this recognition guide us as we move forward to investigate supply chains as a network? What would be its implications to the genre of the literature on buyer–supplier relationships? %B Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management %V 14 %P 263-266, 269-270 %8 2009 %G eng %N 4 %2 a %4 14028060673 %$ 14028060673 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Supply Chain Management %D 2009 %T Triads in Supply Networks: Theorizing Buyer–Supplier–Supplier Relationships %A Choi,Thomas %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Supply Chain %X Past studies in supply chain management have focused on dyadic relationships (e.g., buyer–supplier), as all relationships in a network begin with a dyad. However, dyads do not capture the essence of a network. We posit in this paper that triads are the fundamental building blocks of a network. To begin considering triads in supply networks, we build on two extant bodies of literature — the buyer–supplier relationship and supplier–supplier relationship literature which offer us the context of buyer–supplier–supplier triads. By doing so, we are taking the first step toward cracking the internal dynamics of triads in supply networks. To build theoretical propositions, we apply balance theory and the structural-hole concept. We identify nine triadic archetypes of buyer–supplier–supplier relationships and state key propositions that aid in decision making in supply networks. %B Journal of Supply Chain Management %V 45 %P 8-25 JSCM Best Paper Runner-up %8 2009 %G eng %N 1 %2 a %4 14028091393 %$ 14028091393 %0 Magazine Article %D 2009 %T Unlocking Business Value from an Integrated Management Approach to IT, Environment, and Supply Chain %A Sarkis,Joseph %A Park,Jacob %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Supply Chain %8 2009 %G eng %2 d %4 14028177409 %$ 14028177409 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business Research %D 2009 %T Wearing Many Hats: Supply Managers Behavioral Complexity and Its Imapct on Supplier Relations %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Steward,M. %A Hartley,J. %K Supply Chain %X Applying concepts from the behavioral complexity literature (Ashby, 1952; Denison, Hooijberg, and Quinn, 1995) we examine if supply managers’ multiple roles and the ability to shift among these roles is related to their interpersonal relationship with their key contact within the strategic suppliers’ organization and ultimately with the firm-to-firm relationship. Case studies identified four supply manager roles that are assumed when managing relationships with strategic suppliers: negotiator, facilitator, supplier’s advocate, and educator. Survey data were gathered from 59 pairs of supply managers and their key contact in a strategic supplier’s organization. Results show that a larger behavioral repertoire is positively related to interpersonal relationships but higher behavioral differentiation is negatively related to interpersonal relationships.

Now, changing customer expectations and stringent product take-back regulations are forcing many goods producing organizations to confront EOL product management, even in cases in which there is no clear economic incentive for doing so. This article presents a framework that highlights the supply chain implications for firms forced into EOL product management where recycling is the only viable option. Discussed are the various recycling options available to managers, as well as the strategic implications of each of these choices. %B Business Horizons %V 50 %P 133-143 %8 2007 %G eng %N 2 %2 a %4 2444867585 %$ 2444867585 %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Integrated Supply Management %D 2006 %T Enhancing integration of supply chain functions within a firm: Exploring the critical factors through eleven cases %A Pagell,Mark %A Wu,Zhaohui %K Management %K Supply Chain %X Supply chain managers recognise that seamless supply chain operations require a high level of integration within and across organisations. Existing study and management focus have dealt with how to integrate supply chain activities across different organisations. However, it is not clear how a company should integrate supply chain functions within the company. One might assume that integration of the internal supply chain is easy to accomplish because top management has control over the functional areas. Yet, many companies suffer from supply chain disruptions due to internal coordination problems. As we started to investigate this issue we realised that the level of internal supply chain integration varies significantly from company to company. This discovery motivated us to take a systematic approach to investigating how companies integrate their internal supply chain. This study reports our findings with a focus on prescribing behaviours that managers can use to guide internal integration efforts. %B International Journal of Integrated Supply Management %V 2 %P 295-315 %8 2006 %G eng %N 4 %2 a %4 649857024 %$ 649857024 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Operations Management %D 2005 %T Supplier-Supplier Relationships in the Buyer-Supplier Triad: Building Theories from Eight Case Studies %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Choi,T.Y. %K Supply Chain %X Many researchers have studied how the buying company manages its relationship with suppliers (i.e. buyer”supplier relationship). Extending this genre of study, researchers have recently shown interest in investigating how the buying company manages relationships between the suppliers (i.e. supplier”supplier relationship). In other words, just as the relationship with the suppliers does, the relationships between suppliers have strategic implications for the buyer. We present in this study eight cases that describe supplier”supplier relationship dynamics. Using theory building through case studies, we identify five archetypes of supplier”supplier relationships. Each type of relationship is a unique configuration of the relational characteristics. We also present working propositions that associate the antecedent conditions that lead to these archetypes and eventual performance implications. %B Journal of Operations Management %V 24 %P 27-52 JOM Best Paper of the Year %8 2005 %G eng %N 1 %2 a %4 649850880 %$ 649850880 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Operations Management %D 2003 %T Survey Research in Production/Operations Management: Historical Analyses and Opportunities for Improvement %A Rungtusanatham,M. %A Choi,T.

G. %A Wu,Zhaohui %A Cipriano,F. %K Supply Chain %X Our paper provides a comprehensive assessment of 285 survey research articles in operations management (OM), published between 1980 and 2000. Six OM journals are included in this study; they are, in alphabetical order: Decision Sciences (DS), International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM), International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), Journal of Operations Management (JOM), Management Science (MS), and Production and Operations Management (POM). In this paper, we reflect upon the state and evolution of survey research in the OM discipline across a 21-year time span and the contribution of OM journals that have published these studies. Major changes have occurred in the last 5 years of our sampling period, and two topics stood out as showing fastest ascendancy to prominence—operations strategy and supply chain management. Furthermore, over the years, the Journal of Operations Management appears to have been publishing more survey research articles and a greater variety of OM topics compared to the other five journals in our study. %B Journal of Operations Management %V 21 %P 475-488 %8 2003 %G eng %N 4 %2 a %4 649854976 %$ 649854976 %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management %D 2002 %T Supplier-Supplier Relationships and Their Implications for Buyer-Supplier Relationships %A Choi,T.
