Abstract

Researchers in OM have made a large effort to incorporate sustainable operations into the mainstream of operations strategy. However, OM scholars and practitioners have no comprehensive framework for sustainable operations strategy to date. This paper attempts to fill this gap by providing a literature review on five dimensions of sustainable operations strategy: external context, competitive dimensions, strategic decisions, operations value chain activities, and organizational learning and knowledge. We provide a framework for sustainable operations strategy, consistent with these five dimensions, and provide research opportunities.
