C-RBV Framework
Reverse logistics (RL) is crucial for triple bottom line sustainability, driving economic, environmental, and social benefits. It involves practices like reuse, repair, remanufacturing, recycling, and responsible disposal, all contributing to value recovery and waste reduction. The research confirms RL's positive and significant impact across these dimensions.
Flexible hyperautomation (HA) technologies, including AI, ML, IoT, RPA, and BPM, are transformative for B2B electronics. They enhance operational efficiencies, foster interorganizational relationships, and facilitate proactive optimization of business processes. HA significantly boosts the effectiveness of RL initiatives, especially in improving environmental and social outcomes. This synergy is key to navigating the evolving technological landscape.
The Contingent Resource-Based View (C-RBV) emphasizes that the effectiveness of a firm's resources, such as RL and HA, is contingent on external factors like regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, market dynamics, and stakeholder pressures. This dynamic perspective is crucial for understanding how B2B electronics firms in Bangladesh can strategically align their capabilities to achieve long-term sustainability.
