Abstract

The rise of global supply chains as well as attention to the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) provides organizations with new conditions and strategy paradoxes to be dealt with. This study of a large multinational organization with TBL focus provides a comprehensible analysis of the use of control and governance mechanisms in supply chain context. Through the Levers of Control framework, the application of these mechanisms both internally and across organizational boundaries is shown. The interplay between levers helps in dealing with the in itself paradoxical nature of TBL goal setting and to pursue a holistic approach of sustainable supply chain management.
