| Abstract |
Integrating triple bottom line (TBL; economic, social, and environmental) sustainability into supply chains is a major challenge. Progress has been made to address the economic and environmental dimensions in supply chain management research; however, the social dimension is still underrepresented. This chapter reflects on research that looked at the literature on hybrid business models and social entrepreneurship in order to bridge these streams of literature to literature on sustainable supply chain management. Following the literature analysis, case-based research related specifically to social businesses in catastrophe-ridden Haiti was performed. The insights provided by the entrepreneurs of these businesses showed organizations that target TBL objectives from their inception, the specific social capabilities employed to obtain the desired TBL objectives, and the specific supply chain structures that were needed to execute and achieve the TBL goals. The purpose of this chapter is to reflect on that research as it relates to the social businesses, consider the primary results of that research, and discuss how those results might guide further research in the field of sustainable supply chain management. |
