Abstract

A set of environmental and, social factors along with the economic issues play the special role in the supply chain susutainability in the high risk industries. The aim of the present study is to explain and analyze the dimensions and components of supply chain sustainability dimension, with respect to the scope and extent of the concept of sustainability in the supply chain issues. For this purpose, we used qualitative research approaches and meta-synthesis tools, which includes seven steps, and started systematic analysing and evaluation of the results and findings of previous researches. In general, the concept of supply chain sustainability is identified and classified in three dimensions, 14 theme and 84 component. Finally, based on content analysis, the impact factor of identified components in the 94 final researches are identified, by using quantitative methods of Shannon entropy.
