永續供應鏈管理（以下簡稱 SSCM）在企業永續發展中扮演一個重要的腳色。許多學者和業界因此投入精力研究 SSCM 的驅動力並採取相對措施以提高永續供應鏈管理績效。目前現存文獻主要探討企業內部和外部的壓力，以作為 SSCM 的主要驅動力，然而供應鏈聯盟網絡中，系統多樣性在永續供應鏈管理績效的關鍵作用則尚未獲得足夠的重視。在這為期兩年的研究計畫中，我們計畫進行一系列研究，以徹底了解在聯盟網絡中。多樣性在永續供應鏈管理績效的作用。在第一年的研究中，基於 Categorization-Elaboration Model 與 Information Processing View 這兩種理論，我們將嘗試研究解釋聯盟投資組合多樣性對永續績效的影響的機制。在第二年的研究中，我們將運用 Organizational Learning Theory 來探討聯盟投資組合多樣性與其他組織間永續實踐（尤其是公司及其盟友的綜合決策系統）之間的相互作用。藉由這兩年的計劃，我們希望能為本研究議題提供有效的運作機制，並為 SSCM 政策面提供了一套增強其永續發展績效的指導原則。 ;Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM hereinafter) has played a considerable role in the general discussion of firms’ sustainability strategies. A number of scholars and practitioners have thus put effort to investigate the driving forces of SSCM and measures to enhance its performance. While existing studies have focused on internal and external pressures as the main SSCM drivers, the crucial role of diversity of supply chain alliance system has not gained sufficient attention. In this two-year project, we will conduct a series of research to thoroughly understand the role of diversity in terms of allying networks in the sustainable supply chain practices. In the first-year research, based on the two theories, the Categorization-Elaboration Model and the Information Processing View, an attempt will be made to investigate the mechanism in which the effect of alliance portfolio diversity on sustainability performance will be explained. Then, in the second year, we will apply the Organizational Learning Theory to discuss the interaction of alliance portfolio diversity on other inter-organization sustainability practices, especially the comprehensive decision-making system of the firm and its allying partners. By doing so, the research not only provides effective mechanisms to explain the less investigated topic but also draws a set of guidance into SSCM policies to enhance its sustainable performance.
