Abstract

The use of procurement policy to stimulate supply chain innovation (SCI) outcomes has the potential to address sustainability problems. While compliance with new procurement requirements in support of sustainability, in the short-term, engenders additional production and operational costs to suppliers, these costs are often absorbed by offering such innovative products to buyers at price premiums. In the public sector settings, however, procurement managers assign high value to authority and are therefore less likely to pay such price premiums for sustainability. This situation engenders a disincentive among suppliers to bid for government-sustainable innovative contracts. Our paper explores how networks created from procurement and innovation policies facilitate SCI. We opted out from publishing this paper in the 37th ANZAM proceedings as co-authors are considering another outlet instead.
