Abstract
Under third-party power intervention (TPPI), which increases uncertainty in task environments, complex channel power interplays and restructuring are indispensable among green supply chain members as they move toward sustainable collaborative relationships for increased viability and competitive advantage. From the resource dependence perspective, this work presents a novel conceptual model to investigate the influence of political and social power on channel power restructuring and induced green supply chain collaboration in brander-retailer bidirectional green supply chains of fashionable consumer electronics products (FCEPs). An FCEP refers to the consumer electronics product (e.g., personal computers, mobile phones, computer notebooks, and game consoles) with the features of a well-known brand associated, a short product lifecycle, timely and fashionable design fit for market trends, and quick responsiveness to the variations of market demands. The proposed model is tested empirically using questionnaire data obtained from retailers in the FCEP brander-retailer distribution channels. Analytical results reveal that as an extension of political and social power, TPPI positively affects the reciprocal interdependence of dyadic members and reduces power asymmetry, thereby enhancing the collaborative relationship of dyadic members and leading to improved green supply chain performance. Therein, reciprocal interdependence underlying collaborative relationship is the key to reducing the external environmental uncertainties in the TPPI context.
Highlights
As the concept of extended producer responsibility has emerged around the world, there are plenty of practical cases showing that third-party power intervention (TPPI) by governments and non-profit organizations has significantly influenced supply chain performance as supply chains evolve toward collaborative green supply chains
The goodness-of-fit for the structure of the proposed conceptual framework was examined in advance using the five indexes suggested in the literature [171,172,173]: (1) normed chi-square (i.e., 2 / df ); (2) the goodness-of-fit index (GFI); (3) adjusted GFI (AGFI); (4) root mean square residual (RMR); and (5) standard root mean square residual (SRMR) [171,172,173]
This work uses an resource dependence theory-based comprehensive conceptual framework to investigate the interrelationships among channel power restructuring, collaborative relationship, and fashionable consumer electronics products (FCEPs) green supply chain performance under TPPI
Summary
As the concept of extended producer responsibility has emerged around the world, there are plenty of practical cases showing that third-party power intervention (TPPI) by governments and non-profit organizations has significantly influenced supply chain performance as supply chains evolve toward collaborative green supply chains. This argument holds for the global manufacturing industries of fashionable consumer electronics products (FCEPs).
