Abstract
In past years, sustainable performance has become a key demand for shareholders and customers. However, there has been limited attention to the enabling effect of supply chain capabilities on sustainable performance. Focusing on the food industry, this study expands the notion that visibility is a dynamic capability that mediates the relationship between information sharing and sustainable performance. Furthermore, our mediation analysis is extended to understand how institutional forces, and more specifically Halal food requirements, influence such mediation process. The results from our analysis of data collected from 89 of the most important suppliers of two large food retailers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia indicate that information sharing enhances sustainable performance by facilitating visibility. They also indicate that the magnitude of such facilitation depends on institutional forces. These findings extend the existing academic literature and provide guidance to managers by creating a better understanding of how information sharing can lead to higher sustainable performance.
