Abstract

Recent research suggests that firms can obtain resources to support adoption of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices through their supply network ties. This paper explores the role of brokerage in the exchange of financial and knowledge resources aimed at supporting the adoption of SSCM practices in supply networks. The paper presents a case study of the banana supply network in Costa Rica. We identify brokers in the network and brokerage behaviors. We extend SSCM research by considering a wide range of actors and contribute by uncovering the behaviors and actions that characterize brokerage in supply networks.
