Purpose

This paper aims to develop frameworks to support implementation and competitive leveraging of distinct sustainable supply chain operations. This derives from conceptual definition of the dynamic capabilities required to support Hart’s (1995) natural-resource-based view resources in the supply chain.

Design/methodology/approach

This conceptual study uses qualitative content analysis to extract capabilities from review and analysis of literature related to natural-resource-based view (NRBV) and sustainable supply chain management. Intercoder reliability assessments support conceptual development of such capabilities into dynamic capability frameworks.

Findings

Specific interrelations between each NRBV resource and corresponding supply chain strategies are conceptualised. From this, capabilities are categorised to corresponding resources, dynamic capabilities activities and internal–external focus. This results in definition of 107 dynamic NRBV capabilities.

Research limitations/implications

Contributions are threefold: distinct frameworks for competitive sustainable supply chain management is offered; the NRBV benefits from enhanced practical guidance via the definition of its dynamic capabilities, addressing the theory-practice gap; and understandings of dynamic capabilities and their role in both the NRBV sustainable supply chain management is advanced.

Practical implications

This paper offers four frameworks to allow firms to tailor sustainability strategies to suit their needs and guide competitive leveraging. Definition of capabilities offers practical guidance to operationalise NRBV resources.

Originality/value

This is the first holistic interpretation of NRBV capabilities and explicit application of dynamic capabilities. This forms the basis of a broader research agenda for the NRBV in sustainable supply chain management.

利用可持续运营的竞争力：了解实现 NRBV 供应链战略所需的动态能力的框架

目的

本文旨在开发框架以支持独特的可持续供应链运营的实施和竞争利用。这源于支持供应链中基于自然资源的 Hart (1995) 视图资源所需的动态能力的概念定义。

设计/方法/方法

本概念研究使用定性内容分析从与基于自然资源的观点 (NRBV) 和可持续供应链管理相关的文献的审查和分析中提取能力。编码器可靠性评估支持将这些能力概念性地发展为动态能力框架。

发现

每个 NRBV 资源和相应的供应链战略之间的具体相互关系被概念化。由此，能力被分类为相应的资源、动态能力活动和内外部焦点。这导致定义了 107 个动态 NRBV 功能。

研究限制/影响

贡献有三方面：提供了具有竞争力的可持续供应链管理的独特框架；NRBV 通过其动态能力的定义从增强的实践指导中受益，解决理论与实践的差距；以及对动态能力及其在 NRBV 可持续供应链管理中的作用的理解有所提高。

实际影响

本文提供了四个框架，使公司能够定制可持续发展战略以满足其需求并引导竞争杠杆。能力的定义为操作 NRBV 资源提供了实用的指导。

原创性/价值

这是对 NRBV 能力和动态能力的显式应用的首次整体解释。这构成了 NRBV 在可持续供应链管理中更广泛的研究议程的基础。
