  Making tough choices: A policy capturing approach to evaluating the tradeoffs in sustainable supplier development initiatives

  This research explores the tradeoffs that decision makers are willing to make when implementing development initiatives to improve supplier sustainability performance. We employ a policy capturing methodology in which respondents are forced to choose between multiple potential sustainable supplier development initiatives. Data were collected from traditional and executive MBA students. The results suggest that when confronted with tradeoffs

  decision makers value improvements in supplier cost savings and injury reduction equally

  which was somewhat unexpected. Further

  both improvements in supplier cost savings and injury reduction were valued over supplier emissions performance. Because we measure individual tradeoff preferences

  multi-level regression analysis was used to better understand the impact of respondent value structure regarding sustainably developing suppliers. Our findings suggest a hierarchy of tradeoff preferences for decision makers as they pertain to sustainable supplier development. As the pressure to ensure supply chain sustainability increases

  more firms will engage in sustainable supplier development. The outcomes of the choices they make when choosing between initiatives

  and how managers make these choices

  will be of increasing interest in both industry and academia. This research answers previous calls for further examination of decision maker tradeoff preferences in sustainable supply chain development.
