In many developing and developed countries, privatization through transfer of ownership from public to the private hands is considered as a cure for most of the problems faced by the public sector enterprises (PSEs.) However, policy makers tend to forget that both the systems – private and public – are imperfect. If market failure necessitates the need for government intervention, then failures associated with the government require more market friendly policies. This implies that at any point of time both systems will coexist i.e. privatization will go hand in hand. The present article attempts to discuss the modalities of privatization options and public regulation adopted by India.

Purpose The paper aims to introduce the issue of supply chain management in the context of increasingly rare and costly resources and to define the notion of frugal supply chain, in particular, in reference to the development of circular economy. The challenges of frugal supply chain are detailed for a set of private and public stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach As a programmatic viewpoint, this paper aims at developing debates regarding the future of supply chains, building upon current technical and managerial innovations. Findings Frugal supply chains constitute a new business perspective. It transforms the way value creation process is considered, in reference to the models of circular economy, and the systems in which companies evolve. The circular economy represents many opportunities for new forms of growth in the context of rare resources, and it raises several challenges for a variety of stakeholders, more or less, involved in the management of closed loop supply chains. Practical implications Frugal strategies in a supply chain context may provide both a source of competitive advantage for companies and an enhancement of their commitment to society. Social implications The practices described in the paper aim at stimulating a new view of logistics management, based on the principles of sustainable development. Frugal supply chains offer the possibility of reflecting on a more moderate, sensible and effective use of several commons by taking part in the conservation of rare resources for future generations. Originality/value This viewpoint introduces the concept of frugal supply chains, rarely approached in the literature, and it offers the opportunity to open debates on managerial and societal challenges linked to logistics strategies and, more broadly, to inter-organizational relations.

Legislative Framework

The urgency of the problem under investigation is caused by the contradictions between regional and federal legislation in the regulation of civil relations, which hamper the optimization and achievement of the balance of the Russian legislative framework. Such contradictions are most clearly seen in the field of transport law. The purpose of the article is to update the problematic issues of the correlation between the norms of regional and federal legislation, the issues of delimitation of private and public regulation. The leading approach to the study of this problem is dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, formal-legal method. The analysis can help to understand the formative elements of law governing the legal field of private and public regulation, the adoption of regional instruments that contribute to the full and comprehensive regulation of civil relations, including the field of transport commitments.

Purpose The aim of this paper is to explain the organizational changes along supply chains when a geographical brand, i.e. a place name that has value for commercial purposes, becomes a geographical indication (GI). Design/methodology/approach Using a case study research design, this paper compares GI vs non-GI supply chains in the European Union and describes the organizational changes that occur in supply chains when a GI is adopted. Findings When a GI is adopted, an additional “public” level of governance is added along the supply chain that forces it to reallocate and specialize quality controls between the public and private levels of governance to avoid redundancies and to adopt more market-oriented mechanisms of governance in dyadic relationships. The paper argues that these changes occur because the private and public levels of governance complement one another. Research limitations/implications More aspects of supply chain management (the power balance or relationship stability) and a more systematic longitudinal analysis using supply chains in various agrifood industries should be considered to generalize the conclusions. An econometric analysis formally testing the main conclusions (propositions) is also required. Practical implications The changes needed to successfully adopt a GI are identified, and an explanatory map of these changes is offered. Originality/value The structural governance tensions created by the use of common-pool resources within supply chains are explored. It is hypothesized, first, that when a “common-pool resource”, namely, a geographical name, is used in a supply chain, some type of public level of governance that promotes cooperation is required to preserve its value. Second, this public level of governance complements the dyadic mechanisms of governance, requiring the specialization and reallocation of quality controls and the move toward more market-oriented transactions.

This chapter examines which mechanisms can provide ‘checks and balances’ for the rules created by different lawmakers in a legal pluralist constellation. The question here is which space exists for the creation and maintenance of private governance mechanisms based on voluntary participation. First, the chapter maps the mechanisms for monitoring the substance of private lawmaking, in so far as they relate to European contract law. Second, the spaces that exist between private and public regulation in relation to each of these instruments are examined. The chapter moves on to a more in-depth analysis of the space that private regulation has besides public regulation. The relevant mechanisms that can be discerned are: standardisation of contracts, the use of optional instruments or model rules in contract law, and monitoring through online dispute resolution.

This article critically discusses the developing legislative framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in global supply chains in the ‘home states’ of transnational corporations, that is, the countries where these companies are incorporated and have their headquarters. The article focuses on the interaction of private and public governance by examining how legislation can steer companies’ use of private CSR instruments such as Codes of Conduct. Following a critical review of empirical data relating to the Supplier Codes of Conduct of the top 30 listed German companies (DAX30), recent examples of ‘home state’ legislation of CSR are assessed. The article shows that most of these laws are not very stringent. The article argues that a hybrid regulatory approach towards CSR in global supply chains is necessary.

Transnational regulation, both private and public, requires compliance instruments different from those deployed in domestic regulations. These policy tools are one key facet of transnational administration. The chapter addresses three fundamental questions. Which global standards should be monitored? Who should monitor compliance with global standards? How should compliance with global standards be monitored? The unit of analysis for compliance monitoring should be global supply chains that adopt compliance programmes applied to internal business units, subsidiaries, and independent suppliers, operating across different jurisdictions. The objective of effective compliance monitoring is to minimize costs of governance and transactions, and maximize effective oversight. Monitoring compliance of business units within large corporations and independent suppliers calls for different yet coordinated instruments including corporate, employment, and contract law. The structure of the chains, their composition, and the allocation of power significantly influence the architecture of compliance and the mix of hierarchical, peer, and delegated control.
