A review of supply chain risk management: definition, theory, and research agenda (2018, background): “…have suggested establishing specific data management systems for risk monitoring (Tummala and Schoenherr, 2011), developing monitoring capabilities (Klassen and Vereecke, 2012) and early-warning management processes (Xie et al., 2009), and designing tools (Blackhurst et al., 2008) to identify…”

Chain liability in multitier supply chains? Responsibility attributions for unsustainable supplier behavior (2014, background): “Moreover, we reaffirm findings that suggest supply chain managers should develop more profound capabilities for supplier development, collaboration, and innovation (Gavronski et al., 2011; Klassen and Vereecke, 2012), then transfer those capabilities across tiers (Mena et al., 2013).”
The impact of relational governance on performance improvement in export manufacturing firms (2018, background): “Supply chain researchers have pointed out the importance to achieve sustainability performance (Carter & Rogers, 2008; Klassen & Vereecke, 2012; Pagell & Wu, 2009; Sancha, Gimenez & Sierra, 2016).”
NGOs’ Initiatives to Enhance Social Sustainability in the Supply Chain: Poverty Alleviation Through Supplier Development Programs (2016, neutral): “Previous literature has either suggested that firms must develop relational capabilities to manage stakeholder pressures (Klassen & Vereecke, 2012; Matos & Silvestre, 2013) or that collaboration with nontraditional members such as NGOs might be a key component of sustainable supply chains (Pagell &…”
Management of Social Issues in Supply Chains: A Literature Review Exploring Social Issues, Actions and Performance Outcomes (2017, background): “Within the CSR and sustainability performance literature, the management of social issues is seen as a potential way of reducing risk (Klassen and Vereecke 2012) and improving financial performance which depends on various factors like power, trust and monitoring between buyers and suppliers.”
Strategic CSR: A Concept Building Meta‐Analysis (2019, neutral): “Thus, stakeholder relationships enable firms to anticipate and prevent foreseeable risks (Klassen and Vereecke, 2012; Ortiz-de-Mandojana and Bansal, 2016; Porter and Kramer, 2007).”

Developing environmental and social performance: the role of suppliers’ sustainability and buyer–supplier trust (2016, background): “…(e.g. Zhu and Sarkis 2004); contrasting results have been found for SSM, with some authors arguing for strong positive returns (Vachon and Klassen 2008; Klassen and Vereecke 2012) and some others that could not find proper empirical support for this (De Giovanni 2012; Zhu, Sarkis, and Lai 2012).”
