Summary & key words
Existing literature is still lacking an overall descriptive model for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) diffusion at the intraorganisation (between functions) and inter-organisation (between companies) levels. Drawing from theories of diffusion of business ideas and practices, and relying on a literature review on SSCM, our research aims at outlining diffusion mechanisms for sustainable supply chain decisions and actions. We highlight research gaps and propose research avenues to take in order to advance the theory-building process for SSCM diffusion.
