Abstract
The emergence of Physical Internet (PI) has profoundly changed the logistics supply chain paradigm. Logistics
service providers (LSPs) could benefit from the improved logistics efficiency and environment sustainability if
they finish the door-to-door services by themselves. However, in practice, door-to-door services are usually
provided by both short-distance LSPs and long-distance LSPs, rather than a single LSP. And the short-distance
LSP usually has private demand information, which has to be shared if the PI-enabled operational model is
adopted. Therefore, how to coordinate LSPs' incentives regarding profit allocation and demand information
sharing becomes the bottleneck of PI adoption. We thus build a logistics service supply chain model where
differentiated logistics services are jointly provided by a short-distance LSP and a long-distance LSP. We find
that, the long-distance LSP always benefits from PI because it can determine a more accurate service price
with the short-distance LSP's shared demand information. However, the short-distance LSP's preference of PI
depends on the degree of logistics efficiency improvement and the service competition intensity. When the
logistics efficiency improvement is in a moderate range, the short-distance LSP prefers PI when the service
competition intensity is either low or high. We further identify a “dilemma” where the environment
sustainability is deteriorated under PI-enabled operational model. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
The UN COP26 2021 conference on climate change offers the chance for world leaders to take action and make
urgent and meaningful commitments to reducing emissions and limit global temperatures to 1.5 °C above pre-
industrial levels by 2050. Whilst the political aspects and subsequent ramifications of these fundamental and
critical decisions cannot be underestimated, there exists a technical perspective where digital and IS
technology has a role to play in the monitoring of potential solutions, but also an integral element of climate
change solutions. We explore these aspects in this editorial article, offering a comprehensive opinion based
insight to a multitude of diverse viewpoints that look at the many challenges through a technology lens. It is
widely recognized that technology in all its forms, is an important and integral element of the solution, but
industry and wider society also view technology as being part of the problem. Increasingly, researchers are
referencing the importance of responsible digitalization to eliminate the significant levels of e-waste. The
reality is that technology is an integral component of the global efforts to get to net zero, however, its
adoption requires pragmatic tradeoffs as we transition from current behaviors to a more climate friendly
society. © 2021 The Authors

Purpose: The article aims to concern identification and development of pathways for a green recovery process
post pandemic taking into account the role of digital technologies for unleashing the policies planned within
the European Green Deal (EGD). Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on a systematic literature
review (SLR). The electronic databases Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) were surveyed. The authors followed
the SLR guidelines laid down by Tranfield et al. (2003) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review
and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) framework and 65 articles were found eligible after thorough reading and
inclusion in the analysis. Findings: The article presents an innovative framework containing the digital
technologies and their roles in enabling the achievement of the EGD policies and the barriers to their adoption.
Originality/value: The proposed framework would guide organizations and policymakers' decisions to pursue a
pathway in which a green recovery is possible, mainly after the consequences of the current pandemic,
considering the pitfalls of the journey. The article is original as it provides an up-to-date guidance toward an
emerging theme, which is a green recovery economy including a net-zero carbon worldwide target. © 2021,

Purpose: The current study investigates the effect of industry 4.0 on green practices, including green
manufacturing and green logistics, in the context of emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach: A
cross-sectional data were collected from 234 manufacturing firms in Pakistan, and PLS-SEM was employed to
test hypotheses. Findings: With the advent of industry 4.0 in the current era, more emphasis is being given to
the adoption of digital technologies in every field. The adoption of the green approach in supply chain
management provides firms with socioeconomic and environmental benefits. The study results indicate that
industry 4.0 positively affects green practices, including green manufacturing and green logistics. Moreover,
the results also illustrate that these green practices have a substantial effect on the sustainability performance
of the firms. Research limitations/implications: This study provides an amplified understanding of the industry
4.0 technologies in the adoption of green practices. The outcomes also offer a policy framework for managers,
legislators and manufacturers to promote green practices (i.e. green manufacturing and green logistics) in
businesses. Originality/value: Although several recent studies have tried to investigate the effect of green
practices on sustainability performance. However, as per the author's best knowledge, very few studies have
analyzed the influence of industry 4.0 on green practices (i.e. green manufacturing and green logistics) in the
context of emerging economies. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.
Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of Covid-19 on social and eco-environmental sustainability. It
will also investigate the effect of advanced technologies in the post-pandemic era.
Design/methodology/approach: To get the robust findings, GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) modeling
is employed on the panel data of 50 countries across the globe. Findings: The outcomes indicate that gross
fixed capital, logistical operations, knowledge spillover are positive, while Covid-19 is negatively associated
with international trade. The results also revealed that Covid-19 spurs poverty and vulnerable employment,
while the fertility rate increase creates pressure on economic growth. Also, fossil fuel and energy consumption
contribute to carbon emission, while green and advanced technologies may mitigate the environment's
adverse effects. Originality/value: This study is the first of its kind to provide a solution to the challenges posed
by the Covid-19 pandemic in the post-pandemic environment. Furthermore, researchers, managers and
legislators can use this article's findings to formulate relevant policies for post-pandemic. © 2021, Emerald

Physical Internet (PI) is an open global logistics system of which components are hyperconnected for increased
efficiency and sustainability. Digital twin (DT), referring to the virtual representation of a physical object, is
well-perceived as a key driver in the development of PI-based Supply Chain Management (SCM). Due to the
capabilities of real-time monitoring and evaluation of large-scale complex systems, significant research efforts
have been made to exploit values of PI/DT in SCM. Despite this, the current literature remained largely
unstructured and scattered due to a lack of systematic literature reviews to synergise research findings,
analyse the evolution of research fronts and extract emerging trends in the field. To address this issue, the
paper deploys a bibliometric knowledge mapping approach to provide a bird's eye view of the current research
status in the PI/DT-SCM area. Using CiteSpace's keyword co-occurrence network, 518 journal articles are
clustered into 10 key research streams on PI/DT applications in: job shop scheduling, smart manufacturing
design, PI-based SCM, manufacturing virtualisation, information management, sustainability development,
data analytics, manufacturing operations management, simulation and optimisation, and assembly process
planning. Based on citation burst rate, keywords representing research frontiers of the PI/DT are detected and
their temporal evolutions are discussed. Likewise, some identified emerging research trends are production
process and system, robotics, computer architecture, and cost. Finally, seven future research directions are
suggested, which emphasise on several PI/DT-related issues, including business ecosystem, sustainability
development, SC downstream management, cognitive thinking in Industry 5.0, citizen twin in digital society,
and SC resilience. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
Problem definition: This paper investigates how counterfeits influence a global supply chain and how the
supply chain should effectively take anticounterfeit actions. Academic/practical relevance: The impacts of
counterfeiting have been increasingly profound on global supply chains. It is critical to understand how
counterfeiting impacts supply chains when supply chain members act in their own interests, and how supply
chains can effectively combat counterfeiting when all the members can contribute to it. This is the first paper
that offers insights into these important questions. In particular, we examine who among the supply chain
members is in the best position to perform counteracting activities, how these members can cooperate in
anticounterfeiting, and what economic implications the anticounterfeit actions have to the supply chain,
individual firms, consumer surplus, and social welfare. Methodology: We consider a supply chain consisting of
a manufacturer and a retailer, and analyze a game-theoretical framework to derive the equilibrium. Results:
The manufacturer prefers to induce the retailer to combat counterfeits rather than to combat itself. Contrary
to conventional wisdom, counterfeits can increase the supply chain’s profit even in the absence of network
externality effects. The crux is that the manufacturer lowers wholesale price to incentivize the retailer’s
counteraction and, consequently, the threat of counterfeits can mitigate double marginalization and benefit
the supply chain. Managerial implications: Our results demonstrate that a sustainability risk can trigger
collaborative endeavors of supply chain members and thus be advantageous to the supply chain. The findings
also underscore the important role that retailers should play in anticounterfeiting. Particularly, it can be in the
supply chain’s interest that the manufacturer does not execute the counteraction, either jointly with the
retailer or by itself. Copyright: © 2020 INFORMS
Over the past few years, supply chains have become globalised and multi-tiered. These factors complicate their
structure as the focal company is responsible for the problems experienced at each stage in the multi-tier
supply chain. The critical issue for focal companies in managing their multi-tier supply chain is to adopt
sustainability standards. One of the study's contributions is the role of weight determination in the tiers and
evaluation of alternative suppliers in facilitating the effective management of multi-tier supply chains,
especially in complex industries such as the food industry. The other contribution of this study is its proposition
for a multi-stage framework based on sustainability concerns. The study identifies 14 criteria for companies in
diffusing sustainability standards throughout multi-tier supply chains. The weights of these criteria are
determined for each tier of the food supply chain using the Best Worst Method. Results show that the
‘environmental’ criteria are most important for supply chain tiers in the food industry. Supply chain
visibility/traceability is the most important criteria for the first tier, followed by environmental responsibilities,
for the second and environmental competencies for the third. Finally, for the food company, PROMETHEE is
used to evaluate three alternative suppliers for each tier. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &

Purpose: Lean distributed manufacturing (LDM) is being considered as an enabler of achieving sustainability
and resilience in manufacturing and supply chain operations. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the
understanding of how LDM characteristics affect the resilience of manufacturing companies by drawing upon
the experience of food manufacturing companies operating in the UK. Design/methodology/approach: The
paper develops a conceptual model to analyse the impact of LDM on the operational resilience of food
manufacturing companies. A triangulation research methodology (secondary data analysis, field observations
and structured interviews) is used in this study. In a first step, LDM enablers and resilience elements are
identified from literature. In a second step, empirical evidence is collected from six food sub-sectors aimed at
identifying LDM enablers being practised in companies. Findings: The analysis reveals that LDM enablers can
improve the resilience capabilities of manufacturing companies at different stages of resilience action cycle,
whereas the application status of different LDM enablers varies in food manufacturing companies. The findings
include the development of a conceptual model (based on literature) and a relationship matrix between LDM
enablers and resilience elements. Practical implications: The developed relationship matrix is helpful for food
manufacturing companies to assess their resilience capability in terms of LDM characteristics and then
formulate action plans to incorporate relevant LDM enablers to enhance operational resilience.
Originality/value: Based on the literature review, no studies exist that investigate the effects of LDM on
factory’s resilience, despite many research studies suggesting distributed manufacturing as an enabler of
sustainability and resilience. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
Purpose: Blockchain is widely applied in e-voting, shared economy areas and other government functioning.
Fragmented findings and distributed literature need consolidation for a holistic view of the research domain.
The purpose of this study is to comprehensively reviews the blockchain applications for government
organizations and presents the past, present and future trends of blockchain applications for government
organizations. Design/methodology/approach: Systematic review protocol instrumentalized the systematic
review of research articles published from 2013 to 2021. Science mapping discerns scientific actors’ trends and
performance analysis like most influential authors, documents and sources. Content analysis of selected data
set unfolds the past, present and future of blockchain applications for government organizations. Findings:
Blockchain technology offers enormous potential for the transformation of government organizations and
public services. The primary areas are cryptocurrency, e-voting, shared economy, smart contracts, financial and
health services, tourism, logistics and water sustainability. Research limitations/implications: This study
reviewed only published research in journals and conference proceedings and excluded book reviews, book
chapters and editorials from the review set. This study persuades governments and policymakers to invest in
blockchain technology for transforming government organizations and public services. Practical implications:
This study highlights the importance of blockchain in government-controlled public departments, enhancing
transparency and efficiency in public life. Social implications: Blockchain technology enhances transparency,
traceability and accountability of public records. Originality/value: This study pioneers in chronologically
highlighting the importance of blockchain in government-controlled public departments. © 2021, Emerald

Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disrupted global supply chains, revealing dreadful gaps and
exposing vulnerabilities. Retailers are challenged to tackle risks and organise themselves to fit into the “new
normal” scenario. This global outbreak has established a volatile environment for supply chains; it has raised
the question of survival in the market, forcing companies to rethink resilient strategies to be adopted for the
post-pandemic situation to mitigate the long-term effects of this virus. This study explores the priorities for
retail supply chains (RSCs) to align their business operations and strategies for the post-pandemic world.
Design/methodology/approach: This study has utilised integrated full consistency model (FUCOM) – best–
worst method (BWM) for assessment of RSCs to enhance their business performance irrespective of pandemic
disruptions. The FUCOM has been employed to identify the priorities of determinants enhancing business
performance, whereas RSC strategies are evaluated using the BWM method. Findings: The current study
identifies “Collaboration Efficiency” as the main criterion for accelerating the performance of RSCs in a
dynamic social environment. Also, the study concludes that “Order Fulfilment” and “Digital RSCs” are the most
appropriate resilient business strategies to mitigate the long-term effects. Research limitations/implications:
Supply-demand balancing is a challenging task at the moment, but highly significant for the future. The
pandemic disruptions have placed intense pressure on retailers to deliver products as per consumers' changing
behaviours towards the purchase of essentials and other products. Hence, “Order Fulfilment” and “Digital
RSCs” should be adopted for meeting customer requirements and to ensure sustainability in the post-
pandemic business world. Originality/value: This work sets out a comprehensive framework which will be
helpful for accelerating RSCs performance against pandemic disruption by adopting resilient strategies to
mitigate the long-term effects. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.
Online food-delivery platforms provide accessible marketplaces for fast-food restaurants. However, who
should take charge of logistics, especially when there is increasing consumption of plastic containers, utensils,
and other single-use items? In practice, either platform logistics or restaurant's self-logistics is available. For
the former, customers pay for food and logistics services separately, while for the latter, “food & logistics” is
sold in a bundle. Using game-theoretical approach, we consider a fast-food restaurant selling food in both
online and physical stores, which cooperates with an online food-delivery platform under commission contract,
and opts to use the platform logistics or self-logistics to deliver online orders. Interestingly, we find that the
online “food & logistics” price under two logistics strategies exhibit opposite relationships with respect to the
commission rate, and the restaurant's offline food price might first increase and then decrease in the online
commission rate. Consequently, the restaurant prefers to use platform logistics when its online market
potential is low. We show that the restaurant's preference for platform logistics is non-monotonic in the online
market potential. Using the sales quantity-based environmental index (EI) to measure the sustainability
performances under the two logistics strategies, we find that the platform logistics strategy is more
environment-friendly when the online market potential is high. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
Co-opetition is gaining increasing attention as a potentially useful form of inter-organisational collaboration
model to improve firms’ sustainable performance. However, limited previous studies have provided a clear
substantive theory or offered empirical evidence for the process of sustainability-driven co-opetition. This
paper explores how competing companies can collaborate in their supply chains (SCs) to achieve a higher level
of sustainability performance by identifying drivers, facilitators and barriers of co-opetition. Based on two
explorative case studies of co-opetition in the UK, the findings of this paper lead to a number of propositions
and a theoretical framework for sustainability-driven co-opetition in SCs. This study contributes to the
literature by providing a more in-depth understanding of co-opetition as a strategic capability for firms. This
paper also proves the feasibility of a combined use of Resource-Based View and Network Theory perspectives
in explaining a paradoxical inter-organisational relationship like co-opetition. A road map for sustainability-
driven co-opetition in SCs is also provided as a heuristic decision model for practitioners. © 2022 The

The AEC sector is a significant component of the UK economy and is under enormous pressure to improve its
environmental sustainability. Though significant progress has been achieved in reusing, remanufacturing, and
recycling materials, using blockchain in the circular supply chain is still a relatively new idea and particularly
challenging in the building industry. As a result, this study focuses on the importance of blockchain and circular
economy in built-environment supply chains. We show the application method of utilising a blockchain-
enabled digital platform and the idea of material passports to efficiently monitor materials and resources in the
built environment. Based on the methodologies of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and
Building Information Management (BIM), we suggest that blockchain can be used to track environmental
performance (e.g. materials, energy, and carbon emissions) and value creation opportunities at each stage of
the building life cycle. © 2021 IEEE.
Not only has the COVID-19 outbreak brought about public safety challenges, but there has also been a major
disruption in the business world that impacts one and all from small to large businesses. During This pandemic,
supply chains (SCs) have witnessed disruptions, and this has inspired the interest of this paper. Therefore, the
objective of the paper is to address two research questions pertaining to exploring the emerging SC aspects in
the age of COVID-19 and future directions of SCs. To achieve this objective, a methodology is developed
entailing three steps as follows. First, data is collected and included documents are identified through PRISMA
strategy. Second, document analytics is performed using the web-interface of bibliometrix package in R
software,the shiny app. Third, the research questions are addressed accordingly. The results showed that the
most prominent terms related to SCs include supply chain disruptions, supply chain management,supply chain
resilience, viability, and flexibility. Consequently, the first research question is approached in which the aspects
of SC disruptions, resilient SC, viable SC,Sustainable SC, and SC management, are addressed. With more focus
on building resilient SC in the short-term to recover from disruptions, viable SC can be created in the long-term
perspective, which eventually build sustainable SC accordingly. Subsequently, considering these aspects enable
successful SC management. Additionally, the future directions are explored including the transformation from
globalization to regionalization perspective, focus on digitalization, need for holding more inventory, managing
SCs for high resilience, more dependence on operations research and business analytics, and reconsideration
of food SCs. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by providing insightful research agenda to
scholars and practitioners concerned in exploring more of the influences of the current pandemic on SCs. ©

Purpose: The present research paper is an attempt to study how COVID-19 can affect the global sourcing
practices of various supply chain intermediaries across the demand chain. This study aims to explore and is an
attempt to understand the overall impact of COVID-19 on the sustainable operations of the firm such as
sourcing, procurement, economic performance, social responsibility, consumption and distributions.
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a quantitative technique using data collected from 708
respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) has been applied to test the proposed model and
hypothesis. Findings: The findings of the study suggest that sourcing practices, distribution and sustainability
considerations of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and retailers are affected by COVID-19 to a great
extent but the pandemic has also led to making supply chain intermediaries understand the changing dynamics
of the business scenario which can help them in their own strategic and business evolution. Research
limitations/implications: The current disruptions throughout global delivery chains caused by COVID-19 affect
badly, the already poor-performing supply chains. Hence, the present study provides fresh insight on how
organizations can limit the ill effects of COVID-19 by safeguarding some of their key sustainable operations in a
post-pandemic business scenario. Originality/value: The present study takes into consideration how core
supply functions such as sourcing, distribution and manufacturing and various sustainable operations are
disrupted by pandemic and its after-effects. This knowledge base can help business organizations to mitigate
such problems/disruptions in the future. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.
The COVID-19 outbreak has revealed weaknesses in the supply chains (SCs) and how easily it can be influenced
by these disruptions. Food supply chains (FSCs) is one of the most affected SCs, and it needs to be more
resilient against SC disruptions because their vulnerable structure such as having perishable products.
Therefore, this article aims to uncover the need for resilience in FSCs during the COVID-19 outbreak. For this
purpose, the enablers of resilience on FSCs are determined after a detailed examination of the current
literature. Then, the graph theory matrix approach has been used to reveal the relationships between these
enablers and investigate importance of enablers of resilience in FSCs during COVID-19 outbreak. It is significant
to determine preference of enablers and rank of importance to take actions effectively. Depending on the
results, the rank orders of the enablers are classified as readiness, collaboration with stakeholders, IT
alignment, risk aware, responsiveness, flexibility, appearance and sustainability, respectively. Suggested
implications can be provided benefits for policymakers and managers in FSCs. © 2021 Informa UK Limited,

Purpose: In recent years, a number of researchers have attempted to make an integration of sustainability with
supply chain risk management. These studies have led to valued insights into this issue, though there is still a
lack of knowledge about the mechanisms by which sustainability-related issues are materialized as risks in the
supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach: The paper aims to provide a comprehensive
framework to evaluate the sustainability risk in the supply chain management mechanism. To do so, a novel
approach using the double normalization-based multiple aggregation (DNMA) approach under the intuitionistic
fuzzy (IF) environment is extended to identify, rank and evaluate the sustainability risk factors in supply chain
management. Findings: To provide comprehensive sustainability risk factors, this study has conducted a survey
using interview and literature review. In this regard, this study identified 36 sustainability risk factors in supply
chain management of the manufacturing firms in five different groups of risk, including sustainable operational
risk factors, economic risk factors, environmental risk factors, social risk factors, and sustainable distribution
and recycling risk factors. The results of this paper found that the poor planning and scheduling was the
important sustainability risk in supply chain management of the manufacturing firms, followed by the
environmental accidents, production capacity risk, product design risk and exploitative hiring policies. In
addition, the results of the study found that the extended approach was effective and efficient in evaluating
the sustainability risk factors in supply chain management of the manufacturing firms. Originality/value: Three
aggregation methods based on the normalization techniques are discussed. A DNMA method is proposed
under intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). To propose a broad procedure for identifying and classifying sustainability
risk factors (ESFs) in supply chain management. To rank the sustainability risk factor, the authors utilize a
procedure for evaluating the significance degree of the sustainability risk factor in supply chain management.

During COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics sector has witnessed supply chain disruptions all across the globe.
Digitalisation and sustainable solutions have become the priority for the logistics companies to deal with this
crisis situation. Managing logistic operations for sustainability has become a major challenge. Therefore, the
main objective of the study is to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) for achieving circular economy goals
through emerging technologies during this pandemic. The most important factors, which will impact
sustainability goals through the use of technologies are extracted from the literature review and then finalised
after discussion with supply chain professionals. The importance rating of critical success factors for achieving
CE goals is found using Best-Worst Method (BWM). The novelty of this study lies in exploring applications of
emerging technologies for achieving circular economy goals in logistics sectors during COVID 19 pandemic.
These factors are further prioritised from strategy perspectives. The prioritisation of CSFs will help logistics
companies in developing strategies for digitalisation and achieving sustainable goals during the uncertain
business environment. It will also contribute to formulating effective policies for long-term business continuity
through technological and sustainable achievement. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis

Many threats, such as scarcity of sources and climate change, are forcing the business community to examine
their commitment towards the environment and society. Because of this pressure, companies have started to
implement long term sustainable practices into their operations. An example of this is the adoption of circular
supply chain (CSC), Industry 4.0. How the integration of Industry 4.0 and CSC can be implemented to achieve
sustainable supply chain operations is an important question for research. Very little discussion is available in
current literature in this regard. This study objective is to analyze the critical success factors (CSFs) for this
integration. A three-phase study framework has been utilized to achieve the objective. In the first phase, CSFs
are identified through literature review and experts’ inputs; in the second phase, an empirical research is
conducted for finalization of CSFs and in the last phase, influencing and influenced factors are identified by
using Hesitant based Fuzzy DEMATEL. The analysis shows that in the adoption of CSC integrated with Industry
4.0 to achieve sustainability in supply chain operations, ‘knowledge of CSC and Industry 4.0’ is the most
important factor followed by ‘top management commitment’. With the help of this research study’s findings,
both theoretical and practical contributions are provided which further help the operation. This will assist
supply chain managers in achieving sustainability in supply chain operations through an effective adoption of
the integration of CSC and Industry 4.0. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
Sustainability promotes a feasible strategy to achieve a continuous development of the economy, society, and
environment. This study aims to analyze the growing efforts on researches made by academic communities in
exploring the sharing economy as a potential approach to promote sustainable development. A bibliometric
approach with VOSviewer and COOC analysis was applied. A total number of 975 published articles were
analyzed in this study. As a result, it was found that few studies have shed light on collaborative and
sustainable consumption, climate change, and bioeconomy in the sharing economy by country, such as
renewable resources and business models, circular economy in China, and life cycle assessment, particularly
taking evidence from the urban mobility services in China. It was also revealed that there is a new indiscipline
research trend in the field of sustainable development such as sustainable business models, game theory, blue
economy, peer-to-peer accommodation, smart grids, and electric vehicles. Other trend concentrates on
technological advancements and policies to promote sustainable development in the sharing economy. ©

The focus of Industry 4.0 (I4) technologies is to address the issue of scarce resources and improve productivity
by providing solutions to economise the use of limited resources and find other substitute raw materials.
Circular economy (CE) is also identified as a solution to manage the increasing pressure of environmental
regulations, price volatility in resources, and supply uncertainty. However, the relationship between I4
technologies, CE and sustainable performance (SP) is still unexplored and demands a more conceptual and
empirical investigation on understanding how the I4 technologies favour the transition towards CE practices
and what impact they have together on SP. Based on a survey of 238 manufacturing practitioners from India,
the study investigates the mediating and moderating role of CE practices on the relationship between I4
technologies and SP. The findings reveal that developing an environment of CE is not a prerequisite for
implementing I4 technologies. However, I4 technologies support developing efficient CE environment, which,
leads to the achievement of sustainable organisational goals. Future research directions and implications for
practitioners are provided. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
This study examines the potentials and challenges of drones, or unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs), in
supply chain management (SCM) and logistics. A systematic literature review was performed to capture the
dynamics surrounding drones and to provide a timely and comprehensive overview of what has been studied
so far and what needs to be investigated in the future. 55 publications were selected and thoroughly analysed.
The findings of this study illustrate that the potential strengths of applying drones in SCM and logistics are: (1)
support of humanitarian logistics, (2) reduced delivery time, (3) reduced cost, (4) improved flexibility, and (5)
increased sustainability. In addition, the challenges posed by drones in SCM and logistics are grouped into
technical, organisational, safety-related, and regulatory issues. This study also investigates real-life drone
deployments in SCM and logistics and sets forth an agenda for future research. © 2021 Informa UK Limited,
Purpose: The authors originally explore the factors for blockchain technology (BCT) adoption in agricultural
supply chains (ASCs) to enhance circularity and understand the dependencies, hierarchical structure and
causalities between these factors. Design/methodology/approach: Based on an extant literature review and
expert opinion, the present study identified ten enablers for adopting BCT to leverage the circular economy
(CE) practices in the ASCs. Then, using an integrated interpretive structural modeling and decision-making trial
and evaluation laboratory (ISM-DEMATEL) approach, hierarchical and cause–effect relationships are
established. Findings: It was observed that traceability is the most prominent enabler from the CE perspective
in ASCs. However, traceability, being a net effect enabler, will be realized through the achievement of other
cause enablers, such as seamless connectivity and information flow and decentralized and distributed ledger
technology. The authors also propose a 12 Rs framework for enhancing circularity in ASC operations. Research
limitations/implications: The paper identifies enablers to BCT adoption that will enhance circularity in ASC
operations. The ISM hierarchical model is based on the driving and dependence powers of the enablers, and
DEMATEL aids in identifying causal relationships among the enablers. Practical implications: The study's
findings and proposed 12 Rs framework may help the practitioners and policymakers devise effective BCT
implementation strategies in ASCs, thereby empowering sustainability and circularity. Originality/value: This
study enriches the literature by identifying and modeling enablers for BCT adoption in ASCs. The study also
proposes a new 12 Rs framework to help enhance ASC circularity. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.

The circular economy (CE) has gained importance in the post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery. Businesses, while
realising the CE benefits, have challenges in justifying and evaluating the CE benefits using available
performance measurement tools, specifically when considering sustainability and other non-traditional
benefits. Given the rising institutional pressures for environmental and social sustainability, we argue that
organisations can evaluate their CE implementation performance using non-market-based environmental
goods valuation methods. Further, the effectiveness of the CE performance measurement model can be
enhanced to support supply chain sustainability and resilience through an ecosystem of multi-stakeholder
digital technologies that include a range of emerging technologies such as blockchain technology, the internet-
of-things (IoT), artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and tracking technologies. Accordingly, a CE performance
measurement model (CEPMM) is conceptualised and exemplified using seven COVID-19 disruption scenarios to
provide insights that can be addressed through CE practices. Analyses and implications are presented along
with areas for future research. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the food supply chains (FSC) can address unique challenges of food
safety, quality and wastage by improving transparency and traceability. However, the technology adoption
literature in FSC is still the in infancy stage, meaning little is known about the critical success factors (CSFs) that
could affect the adoption of AI in FSC. Therefore, this study makes a pioneering attempt by examining the CSFs
influencing the adoption of AI in the Food Supply Chain (FSC). A conceptual framework based on TOEH
(Technology–Organisation–Environment–Human) theory is used to determine the CSFs influencing AI adoption
in the context of Indian FSC. The rough-SWARA technique was used to rank and prioritise the CSFs for AI
adoption using the relative importance weights. The results of the study indicate that technology readiness,
security, privacy, customer satisfaction, perceived benefits, demand volatility, regulatory compliance,
competitor pressure and information sharing among partners are the most significant CSFs for adopting AI in
FSC. The findings of the study would be useful for AI technology providers, supply chain specialists and
government agencies in framing appropriate policies to foster the adoption of AI in FSC the sector. © 2021

The increasing exposure of global supply chains to severe disruptions such as the ones related to the COVID-19
pandemic, clearly demonstrated the need for novel data-driven risk management paradigms that monetise
data from internal and external stakeholders to support supply chain security, resilience, and sustainability. We
first motivate the challenges that supply chains are facing under the new realities. We then provide a critical
taxonomy of the relevant literature and identify gaps which include: (i) the impact of security on supply chain
operations; (ii) cost effective resiliency strategies and practices; and (iii) the social and labour dimensions of
sustainability. We then propose a new generalised framework that encompasses all the identified challenges,
gaps in literature and in practice, and opportunities in supply chain management research. The proposed
framework is validated through a real-world case study of the organic food supply chain. This validation further
highlights the need for data-driven digital technologies that enable data collection and management, secure
storage and effective data processing towards data monetisation for supply chain security, cost-competitive
resilience, and sustainability across end-to-end operations. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &

Purpose: This article sheds light on the missing links concerning the study of using integrated enabling
technologies toward sustainable and circular agriculture supply chains by examining the available literature
and proposing future research possibilities. Design/methodology/approach: The relevant literature was
researched through online databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier, Emerald, IEEE
Xplore, Science Direct, World Scientific Net and Springer-Link Journals, covering a period from 1999 to 2020. A
systematic literature review based on 75 papers analyzed the integration of the concepts of enabling
technologies, sustainability, circular economy and supply chain performance in agriculture supply chains.
Findings: It was identified that enabling technologies and agriculture supply chains alone have been explored
further than integrated enabling technologies, sustainability, circular economy, supply chain performance and
agriculture supply chains. Enabling technologies and agriculture supply chains' main findings are: enabling
technologies have been studied to improve food safety, food quality and traceability in agriculture supply
chains. The main results regarding integrated enabling technologies, sustainability, circular economy, supply
chain performance and agriculture supply chains are: Internet of Things and information communication
technology play an important role in addressing food security, traceability and food quality, which help achieve
sustainable development goals. Originality/value: This review study provides 13 research questions to
underpin future trends regarding integrated technologies' application in agriculture supply chains for circular
and sustainable growth. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.

COVID-19 pandemic is the worst humanitarian crisis that economies across the globe have witnessed. Forced
lockdowns, social distancing, and restricted mobility have contributed to large scale disruptions in the supply
chain network. The purpose of the paper is to identify critical factors affecting global supply chain and evaluate
strategies for risk reduction in the supply chain network by making it resilient. Our study incorporates multi-
criteria decision approach using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation
Laboratory (DEMATEL) to analyze factors that affected the supply chain networks with the onset of COVID-19.
The AHP method enabled to hierarchically rank the factors based on the relative weightage while DEMATEL
ascertained the inter-relationships among the factors and classified them into cause and effect groups. The
findings of our study identified the cost–optimization as the most significant factor and the human resource
management as the least important factor in reducing vulnerabilities of the supply chain network. Our analysis
from DEMATEL approach indicate that government support is a significant causal factor which can effectively
eliminate the issues plaguing supply chains during this pandemic. The results from our study aim to help
policymakers in developing a risk resilient framework that can enhance performance and operational capability
of the supply chain, thereby ensuring sustainability and socio-economic well-being of all the stakeholders
involved in the entire network. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business

Artificial intelligence and data analytics capabilities have enabled the introduction of automation, such as
robotics and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), across different sectors of the production spectrum which
successively has profound implications for operational efficiency and productivity. However, the environmental
sustainability implications of such innovations have not been yet extensively addressed in the extant literature.
This study evaluates the use of AGVs in container terminals by investigating the environmental sustainability
gains that arise from the adoption of artificial intelligence and automation for shoreside operations at freight
ports. Through a comprehensive literature review, we reveal this research gap across the use of artificial
intelligence and decision support systems, as well as optimisation models. A real-world container terminal is
used, as a case study in a simulation environment, on Europe’s fastest-growing container port (Piraeus), to
quantify the environmental benefits related to routing scenarios via different types of AGVs. Our study
contributes to the cross-section of operations management and artificial intelligence literature by articulating
design principles to inform effective digital technology interventions at non-automated port terminals, both at
operational and management levels. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
The pulp and paper industry has significant sustainability implications and necessarily requires a careful
consideration of direct and lower-tier suppliers for effective sustainable supply chain management. This paper
utilized an extensive literature review and semi-structured interviews of experts in the Chinese pulp and paper
industry to unearth the factors that highly influence multi-tier supply chain sustainability. A Technological-
Organizational-Environmental (TOE) and Human-Organizational-Technological (HOT-fit) based theoretical
framework was employed to classify the identified factors. Then, an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) based
methodology was applied to determine the relative importance of the factors. A comparison analysis of the
relative importance of the factors as determined by the experts in the focal companies, Tier-1 suppliers and
Tier-2 suppliers of the Chinese pulp and paper industry is presented. The results show that institutional and
technological factors are most critical to actualizing multi-tier supply chain sustainability. Thus, the study
outcomes present relevant theoretical and practical implications for the managers and practitioners in the pulp
and paper industry on how to facilitate multi-tier supply chain sustainability for increased competitiveness.
Furthermore, this study provides guidelines for other industries as well and sets the stage for subsequent
theorization and exploration of multi-tier supply chain sustainability for expected performance gains. © 2021
In the context of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), business processes that enable process
integration have been explored in a limited way. This paper offers empirical data in response to this gap by
evidencing business processes that create sustainability value in the context of the supply chain—and, the role
of a phased approach as an enabler. The data are derived from a case study (of 52 organisations) based on a
sustainable cocoa supply chain network and the key business processes across that network. Eight business
processes were identified as critical to SSCM—strategic planning, design, governance, integration,
collaboration, pre-competitive collaboration, stakeholder management, and performance monitoring and
evaluation. We demonstrate how business processes become bespoke sustainability processes in relation to
SCM through a phased approach of alignment, implementation and maintenance. © 2021 Informa UK Limited,
The urgency of climate change means that low-carbon transitions are needed in large socio-technical systems
such as energy and transportation. These transitions must be rapid, but also fair. An emerging body of
evidence suggests that users have important roles in transitions, yet much previous research has examined
user involvement while assuming it to be largely a positive force. This goes against a growing amount of
evidence within sociotechnical studies that highlight the potentially obstructive or negative role that users may
play in transitions and innovation. In this study, we pose a critical question: In what ways may users perpetuate
injustices within a transition? To answer this question, we provide conceptual background on energy justice
and user adoption of low-carbon energy and mobility technologies. We then analyse users and energy
injustices in three low-carbon transitions–solar energy in Germany, electric vehicles in Norway, and smart
meters in Great Britain–based on empirical data from interviews, focus groups, and internet forums. Our main
contribution is to show how users in low-carbon transitions are not always positively engaged, or even neutral,
but can introduce and contribute to inequality and exclusion. © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK

The rapid development of urbanisation and the ever-changing consumers’ demands are constantly changing
the urban logistics industry, imposing challenges on logistics service providers to improve customer satisfaction
which is one of the indicators for the sustainability of urban logistics. Existing customer satisfaction evaluations
are based on a questionnaire survey, which is time-consuming and labour intensive. Moreover, the logistics
data are confidential and can only be accessed by the stakeholders in existing logistics models, causing the
problem of information non-transparency among logistics enterprises and the third authorities like banks and
governments, which may hinder the sustainable development of urban logistics. In this paper, we propose a
blockchain-based evaluation approach for customer satisfaction in the context of urban logistics. Four criteria
affecting customer satisfaction in urban logistics are identified. A machine learning algorithm Long Short-Term
Memory (LSTM) is adopted to predict customer satisfaction in the future period. The implementation is
demonstrated to illustrate the proposed approach. A smart contract is designed for compensation and/or
refund to customers when their satisfaction with the delivery services is at a low level. © 2020 Informa UK

Sustainability is crucially important in the textiles and apparel (TA) supply chains. In this paper, we evaluate the
impact of clean technology adoption and environmental taxes on the TA supply chains. First, we consider a
monopoly case, where a two-echelon supply chain consists of one buyer and one manufacturer. We find that
raising the environmental tax rate motivates the manufacturer to invest in green technologies. We then extend
our model to examine the duopoly case. We find that in the duopoly case, if the buyer's market share is
sufficiently small (large), the optimal greenness level for this buyer's product decreases (increases) in the
environmental tax rate; whereas if the two products market shares are relatively equal, the optimal greenness
levels for both products buyers increase in the environmental tax rate. The existence of the spillover effect
reduces the cost and improves the product greenness. Consumer welfare can be improved if the efficiency of
green technology adoption and the coefficient of greenness level on market demand are sufficiently high. This
result implies that if the government cares about consumers, the manufacturer should be encouraged to
enhance the cost reduction ability in terms of green technology, and consumer education about sustainability
consciousness should be enhanced. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
Purpose: Freight transportation practices accounted for a significant share of environmental degradation and
climate change over the years. Therefore, environmentally responsible transport practices (ERTPs) become a
serious concern of freight shippers and transport service providers. Past studies generally ignored the
assessment of ERTPs of freight transport companies during a transport service contract. To bridge the above
literature gap, this paper proposed a hierarchical framework for evaluating freight transport companies based
on ERTPs. Design/methodology/approach: In a data-driven decision-making environment, transport firm
selection is affected by multiple expert inputs, lack of information availability, decision-making ambiguity and
background of experts. The evaluation of such decisions requires a multi-criteria decision-making method
under a group decision-making approach. This paper used a data-driven method based on the intuitionistic
fuzzy-set-based analytic hierarchy process (IF-AHP) and VIseKriterijumska Kompromisno Rangiranje (IF-VIKOR)
method. The applicability of the proposed framework is validated with the Indian freight transport industry.
Findings: The result analysis shows that environmental knowledge sharing among freight transport actors,
quality of organizations human resource, collaborative green awareness training programs, promoting
environmental awareness program for employees and compliance of government transport emission law and
practice have been ranked top five ERTPs which significantly contribute to the environmental sustainability of
freight transport industry. The proposed framework also ranked freight transport companies based on ERTPs.
Research limitations/implications: This research is expected to provide a reference to develop ERTPs in the
emerging economies freight transport industry and contribute to the development of a sustainable freight
transport system. Originality/value: This study assesses the environmental responsibility of the freight
transportation industry. The emerging economies logistics planners can use proposed framework for assessing
the performance of freight transportation companies based on ERTPs. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.
Digital technologies for Industry 4.0, such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and analytics,
have attracted much attention from both researchers and practitioners. Based on information processing
theory, this study intends to explore how digital technologies influence economic and environmental
performance in the new era of Industry 4.0. The mediating effect of digital supply chain platforms and the
moderating effect of environmental dynamism are proposed and evaluated using a survey of Chinese
manufacturing firms. The results indicate that digital supply chain platforms mediate the effects of digital
technologies on both economic and environmental performance and that the mediating effects are enhanced
under a high degree of environmental dynamism. This study offers an enhanced understanding of the
performance implications of digital technologies and provides managerial insights into how to promote
economic and environmental sustainability in the era of Industry 4.0. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Current trends related to increased sustainability requirements, the application of new digital technologies,
and changes in consumer behavior have disrupted conventional food supply chains, entailing challenges for the
last mile logistics and distribution of food products. The main aim of this study is to develop a toolset for
exploring the sustainability potential of last mile logistics and distribution strategies, employing (1) a
centralized distribution network with a click & collect option, (2) a decentralized distribution network with a
home-delivery option, and (3) a distributed network based on a crowd logistics concept. For this, a system
dynamics (SD) simulation and a multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) were applied to assess the sustainability
performance of these distribution channel options for a case study of a local food cooperative and a logistics
service provider in Austria. The sustainability potential of developing a new logistics system in collaboration
with these players has been estimated for the first time, while considering the dynamic interplay of all relevant
sustainability elements within operational, tactical, and strategic planning. The results show that an integration
of the two players into a distributed network strategy based on a crowd logistics concept is the most viable and
sustainable option. This highlights the significant role of the logistics sector in proactively innovating services to
make sustainable choices easier for the customer. © 2020
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations in 2015 has mounted significant
pressure on world economies and business organizations to achieve them by 2030. We operationalized a case
using modern information decision support systems (MIDSS) as a fundamental and supportive mechanism
utilizing the shared vision across the value chain of an ecosystem to realize the SDGs. Stakeholder theory has
been used to argue that shared and cooperative vision can only enable the entire ecosystem to move towards
the identified SDGs for living economy and measure the change over a period. We bid for a framework
highlighting the role of MIDSS as enablers for achieving the SDGs in stipulated time. The framework is
developed based on thematic classification of the data collected by conducting the 31 semi-structured
interviews with key people from the industry through 11 questions. We contend that shared vision and trust
focussed on stakeholder view linked with common objective of the value chain can create a baseline to hit the
target of SDGs around economic, ecological and societal benefits. The framework is useful for the working
executives as it can act as reference plug to support and align the organizational activities towards SDGs. ©

Purpose: Performance measurement (PM) of any supply chain is prerequisite for improving its competitiveness
and sustainability. This paper develops a framework for supply chain performance measurement (SCPM) for
agriculture supply chain (ASC) based on internet of things (IoT). Moreover, this article explains the role of IoT in
data collection and communication (SC visibility) based on the supply chain operation reference (SCOR) model.
Design/methodology/approach: This research identifies various key performance indicators (KPIs) and also
their role in SCPM for improving its sustainability by using SCOR. Further, Shannon entropy is utilized for
weighing the basic processes of SCPM and by using weights, fuzzy TOPSIS is applied for ranking of identified
KPIs at metrics level 2 (deeper level). Findings: “Flexibility” and “Responsiveness” have been reported as two
most important KPIs in IoT based SCPM framework for ASC towards achieving sustainability. Research
limitations/implications: In this research, metrics are explained only at SCOR level 2. But, this research will
guide the managers and practitioners of various organizations to set their benchmark for comparing their
performance at different levels of business processes. Further, this paper has managerial implications to
develop an effective system for PM of IoT based data-driven ASC. Originality/value: By using IoT based data
driven system, this article fills the gap between SCPM by measuring different SC strategies in their performance

In recent years, information technologies have attained remarkable advantages in promoting the development
of sustainability in agriculture. However, challenges still exist in technology implementation, which mainly
involves biased points of view, initially higher costs, uncertainty, lack of transparency, and trust. To tackle
these challenges, recent research attempts to introduce blockchain technology, combined with ICT, to
promote sustainable e-agriculture. Blockchain technology, due to its distributed network system, is believed to
enable a more transparent supply chain and rebuild trust between members. Therefore, blockchain-enabled e-
agriculture is widely considered as the next step towards sustainable agriculture. Realistically, implementing
blockchain technology still offers some key issues, and a new perspective about sustainable data management
systems is needed. In this paper, data demands from all related parties who care about sustainability
achievements in the agricultural sector are taken into consideration. The paper proposes an overall system
approach to insert blockchain technology into the current agri-food supply chain. It provides interesting
insights about how to achieve sustainability, by creating a new value mechanism among blockchain network
members. © 2020 IEEE.
This study aims to investigate the effects of relative advantage, complexity, upper management support, cost,
market dynamics, competitive pressure and regulatory support on blockchain adoption for operations and
supply chain management among Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Unlike existing studies that
employed linear models with Technology Acceptance Model or United Theory of Acceptance and Use of
Technology that ignores the organisational and environmental factors, we adopted the Technology,
Organisation and Environment Framework that covers the technological dimensions of relative advantage and
complexity, organisational dimensions of upper management support and cost and environmental dimensions
of market dynamics, competitive pressure and regulatory support. Empirical data from 194 SMEs were
investigated and ranked using a nonlinear non-compensatory PLS-ANN approach. Competitive pressure,
complexity, cost and relative have significant effects on behavioural intention. Market dynamics, regulatory
support and upper management support were insignificant predictors. SMEs often lack resources for
technological investments but faces same requirements for streamlining business processes to optimise
returns and blockchain presents a viable option for SMEs’ sustainability due to its features of immutability,
transparency and security that have the potential to revolutionise businesses. This study contributes new
knowledge to the literature on factors that affect blockchain adoption and justifications were discussed
accordingly. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
Blockchain Technology (BT) has led to a disruption in the supply chain by removing the trust related issues.
Studies are being conducted worldwide to leverage the benefits provided by BT in improving the performance
of the supply chains. The literature reveals BT to offer various benefits leading to improvements in the
sustainable performance of the agriculture supply chains (ASC). It is expected that BT will bring a paradigm
shift in the way the transactions are carried in the ASC by reducing the high number of intermediaries, delayed
payments and high transaction lead times. India, a developing economy, caters to the food security needs of
an ever-growing population and faces many challenges affecting ASC sustainability. It is therefore essential to
adopt BT in the ASC to leverage the various benefits. In this study, we identify and establish the relationships
between the enablers of BT adoption in ASC. Thirteen enablers were identified from the literature and
validated by the experts before applying a combined Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and Decision-
Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology to envision the complex causal relationships
between the identified BT enablers. The findings from the study suggest that, among the identified enablers,
traceability was the most significant reason for BT implementation in ASC followed by auditability,
immutability, and provenance. The findings of the study will help the practitioners to design the strategies for
BT implementation in agriculture, creating a real-time data-driven ASC. The results will also help the
policymakers in developing policies for faster implementation of BT ensuring food safety and sustainable ASCs.

Blockchain technology is a technology that can effectively support supply chain transparency. An important
initial managerial activity is for organisations in supply chains to evaluate and select the most suitable
blockchain technology. However, uncertainty and emphasis on sustainable transparency has made this
appraisal more complex. This paper: (1) introduces blockchain technology performance measures
incorporating various sustainable supply chain transparency and technical attributes; and (2) introduces a new
hybrid group decision method, integrated hesitant fuzzy set and regret theory, for blockchain technology
evaluation and selection. This method emphasises decision maker psychological characteristics and variation in
decision maker opinions. An illustrative application and sensitivity analysis is introduced to aid supply chain
managers and researchers understand the blockchain technology selection decision. Methodological and
managerial implications associated with the decision tool and application are introduced. This research sets the
foundation for significant future research in blockchain technologies evaluation in a supply chain environment.

We seek to guide operations management (OM) research on the implementation of supply chain traceability
systems by identifying business requirements and the factors critical to successful implementation. We first
motivate the need for implementing traceability systems in two very different industries—cobalt mining and
pharmaceuticals—and present business requirements and critical success factors for implementation. Next, we
describe how we carried out thematic analysis of practitioner and scholarly articles on implementing
blockchain for supply chain traceability. Finally, we present our results pertaining to the needs of different
stakeholders such as suppliers, consumers, and regulators. The business requirements for traceability systems
are curbing illegal practices; improving sustainability performance; increasing operational efficiency; enhancing
supply-chain coordination; and sensing market trends. Critical success factors for implementation are
companies’ capabilities; collaboration; technology maturity; supply chain practices; leadership; and governance
of the traceability efforts. These findings provide a nascent measurement model for empirical work and a
foundation for descriptive and normative research on blockchain applications for supply chain traceability. ©

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and sustainability are recent buzzwords in manufacturing environments. However, the
connection between these two concepts is less explored in the literature. In the current business context, the
future generation of manufacturing systems is greatly influenced by the rapid advancement of information
technology. Therefore, this study aims to examine the drivers of I4.0 to diffuse sustainability in Supply Chains
(SCs). This research identifies the most relevant drivers through the literature and discusses them with area
experts. Afterwards, an empirical analysis is conducted to validate the key drivers. Finally, the Grey based
DEMATEL method is employed to examine the influential strength of the identified drivers and to build an
interrelationship diagram. ‘Government supportive policies’ and ‘Collaboration and transparency among supply
chain members’ were reported as highly significant drivers of I4.0. This study is an initial effort that investigates
the key drivers of I4.0 to achieve high triple bottom line (ecological-economic-social) gains in SCs by taking an
example from an emerging economy, i.e. India. This study may help managers, practitioners and policy makers
interested in I4.0 applications to diffuse sustainability in SCs. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as

Social sustainability is a growing concern for supply chain management, but questionable practices endure due
to insufficient stakeholder pressure on the market leading firms. Meanwhile small, socially oriented firms may
have the will but lack the means to change dominant practices when entering a market. In this context 3D
printing may offer a solution, by leveraging the voluntary effort of individuals through open design and
distributed production. A system dynamics approach is applied to the case of a socially oriented mobile phone
producer, whose fair supply chain practices may initially appeal only to a niche market. We examine how open
design of 3D printed mobile phone accessories helps overcome size-related resource constraints, facilitate
market growth and ultimately generate sufficient consumer demand to alter the market leaders’ supply chain
practices, in favour of social sustainability. Our findings demonstrate the interaction between availability of 3D
printers, consumer attitudes to social sustainability and the market entry. We discuss the implications for
technology management, namely that 3D printing can help overcome resource constraints to support the
diffusion of socially sustainable supply chain innovation. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
The promise of digitalization is enormous and nowhere is it more critical than in its potential to transform food
supply chain. Consumers have become more educated and are demanding real-time updated information on
foods they consumed through digital media. They are also increasingly demanding to know if the foods they
consume are environmentally and socially sustainable or not. As a result, food product traceability, safety, and
sustainability issues have become crucial concerns to food retailers, distributors, processors, and farmers.
Digitalization allows food supply chains to be highly connected, efficient, and responsive to customer needs
and regulation requirements. However, digitalizing a traditional food supply chain is challenging and resource
demanding. This is more so for developing countries where moving food from farms to consumers can take
months as it travels through an array of middlemen. Unfortunately, little is available in the existing literature
on food supply chain digitalization. So far, current researchers mainly explore the benefits of digitalization.
Using cases in three companies, this paper explores the practices, challenges, and opportunities faced by
Thailand food manufacturers in digitalizing their food supply chains. A framework for food supply chain
digitalization is proposed and its implications for research and practices are discussed. © 2019, © 2019
Purpose: Service quality and customer satisfaction influence the financial performance of service organizations.
Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the path relationship of service quality to customer
satisfaction to financial sustainability in the water service sector, which is vital to the sustainable future of
mankind. Further, these three interrelated constructs and their dimensions are clearly articulated.
Design/methodology/approach: SERVQUAL questionnaire responses were collected from 635 household
families, and the financial sustainability indicators of 56 water providers were gathered as well. Cronbach's
alpha and factor analysis were conducted to measure the internal consistency and convergent validity. Path
analysis was utilized to evaluate the causal diagram by examining the relationships among service quality,
customer satisfaction and financial sustainability using the AMOS software package. Findings: The results
showed that the five dimensions of service quality explain 58% of the customer satisfaction variation. The
responsiveness, empathy, assurance and reliability have significant impact on the customer satisfaction where
p < 0.05, while the tangible dimension has an insignificant effect. The results also revealed that customer
satisfaction has a significant impact on the financial sustainability indicators of the water providers, where
p = 0.000 for the debt collection ratio indicator, and p = 0.003 for the financial efficiency ratio indicator.
Research limitations/implications: This research on financial sustainability is based on evidence about service
quality and customer satisfaction in the Palestinian water sector. Future research on financial sustainability of
the water sector may focus on the pricing mechanism and debt collection of water service. Practical
implications: The findings suggest that water providers should recognize the importance of service quality
dimensions, which strengthen the customer satisfaction, which, in turn, is a significant driver for their financial
sustainability. It is, therefore, sound to draw action-oriented managerial implications from these results.
Originality/value: The study adds to the literature of water service sector and is based on empirical evidence
from primary data of household families and secondary data of water service providers from developing
countries. This paper also contributes toward the strengthening of sustainability of the water service sector in
Palestine – a worthy humanitarian cause. The study provides evidence useful for policy makers toward carving
out policies aimed at strengthening the financial sustainability of the water service sector. © 2020, Emerald

Cause marketing (CM) has become a prevalent form of generating support for a cause while netting valuable
visibility for both the firm and the environmental nonprofit organisation. In this paper, to better help the
government encourage CM campaigns, we adopt a stylised game-theoretical model to explore the strategic
role of CM in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) for an offline-online dual-channel system. We
show that the offline retailer’s incentives for CM can be weakened by online drop-shipping, and that the
manufacturer prefers online drop-shipping rather than batch ordering if the degree of consumer mistrust for
CM is sufficiently low. One other counter intuitive finding is that offline CM may be harmful to sustainability
when the online channel is dominant. This result suggests that the government should carefully regulate CM in
such supply chain systems. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
In recent years, companies have experienced international changes that have occurred as a result of
technological advances, market globalization, or natural disasters. So, organizations are trying to improve their
performance in order to be more competitive. In other words, organizations’ competitiveness highly depends
on their suppliers. At present, companies need to consider and include so-called ‘resilience’, ‘sustainability’,
and ‘smartness’ in the supplier’s selection to retain a competitive advantage. In this context, the purpose of
this paper is to present an intelligent decision-making model for selecting the appropriate suppliers. For doing
so, a set of criteria evaluation was determined to respond to the novel era circumstances. The suggested work
is helpful for academics as well as professionals as it emphasizes the importance of resilient-sustainable
supplier selection in the digital era. © IEOM Society International.
Purpose: The geographical scattering of physical facilities in conventional supply chains enforces firms to shift
toward digital supply chains (DSCs). While switching to DSCs, the decision-making becomes more complex with
an upsurge in the size of the manufacturing firms. The manufacturing firms need to develop supply chain
quality management (SCQM) systems to improvise their processes for delivering advance products and
services. For developing SCQM, the role of the digital supplier is significant, as they may recuperate the quality
management systems (QMS) for enhancing the firm's performance. The purpose of this paper is to explore the
factors that affect the selection of digital suppliers. The other purpose is to evaluate the alternatives for
identifying the best supplier that enhances the QMS for DSCs. Design/methodology/approach: The decision-
making is complex for digital supplier selection (DSS) and thus, the study has utilized integrated SWARA-
WASPAS methods for their critical evaluation. The stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) method
has been utilized for identifying the weightage of factors and weighted aggregated sum product assessment
(WASPAS) for assessing the digital suppliers to explore the best alternative. The integrated SWARA-WASPAS
method is the most advance approach in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) for the evaluation of the
factors. Findings: The study reveals that supplier competency is the most significant factor in selecting digital
supplier in DSC that may improve the product and service quality. The study also explores that manufacturing
firms needs an efficient system for developing value for the internal and external partners that help them to
cope up with the dynamic world. On the basis of the WASPAS results, supplier S8 has been ranked as the best
supplier who has highest competency in the form of responsiveness, resilience, sustainable practices and
digital innovation. Research limitations/implications: The factors are assessed on the decision team of experts
that may be biased and thus, the research may further be validated through empirical studies. The research
has to be extended in other nations for exploring how organizations and customers are responding to the
DSCs. Practical implications: The study has given insights to the manufacturing firms to consider the crucial
factors for DSS, as it affects the overall performance of the organizations. The decision makers of
manufacturing organizations should consider the factors such as supplier competency, digital innovation and
information sharing for value creation that may provide them better opportunities for developing their DSCs
along with their digital suppliers to connect with stakeholders appropriately. Social implications: The improved
SCQM aligned with DSS will offer quality products that are sustainable and provide social and economic
benefits to the society. The DSS will be able to provide improvisation of the existing products and services for
developing a sustainable value chains for the manufacturing organizations. This process will bring more
transparency, viability and sustainability in the product and services. As a result, the DSC partners will be more
transparent, viable and resilient. Originality/value: The research on DSS and its importance in enhancing QMS
is limited. This research is the novel approach to understand the criteria behind the selection of the digital
suppliers’ role and their presence in enhancing the quality of products and services. © 2020, Emerald

The lack of industrialization, inadequacy of the management, information inaccuracy, and inefficient supply
chains are the significant issues in an agri-food supply chain. The proposed solutions to overcome these
challenges should not only consider the way the food is produced but also take care of societal, environmental
and economic concerns. There has been increasing use of emerging technologies in the agriculture supply
chains. The internet of things, the blockchain, and big data technologies are potential enablers of sustainable
agriculture supply chains. These technologies are driving the agricultural supply chain towards a digital supply
chain environment that is data-driven. Realizing the significance of a data-driven sustainable agriculture supply
chain we extracted and reviewed 84 academic journals from 2000 to 2017. The primary purpose of the review
was to understand the level of analytics used (descriptive, predictive and prescriptive), sustainable agriculture
supply chain objectives attained (social, environmental and economic), the supply chain processes from where
the data is collected, and the supply chain resources deployed for the same. Based on the results of the review,
we propose an application framework for the practitioners involved in the agri-food supply chain that identifies
the supply chain visibility and supply chain resources as the main driving force for developing data analytics
capability and achieving the sustainable performance. The framework will guide the practitioners to plan their
investments to build a robust data-driven agri-food supply chain. Finally, we outline the future research
directions and limitations of our study. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
In response to hypercompetition, globalisation and increasing consumer expectations, many manufacturing

firms have embraced lean manufacturing (LM). The primary goal of LM is to reduce/eliminate waste (muda).
There is broad consensus as to what constitutes waste, but not on LM implementation. Implementation is not
prescriptive with each firm relying on a different combination of administrative, process and routine
change/innovation. Lean manufacturing brings about incremental change relying on administrative, process
and routine levers. It best fits mass production where process variability is low and demand is high and stable.
Lean manufacturing can significantly reduce waste but not eliminate waste, and the attained benefits have not
always lived up to expectations. Additive manufacturing (AM) promises to revolutionise manufacturing beyond
recognition by eliminating or drastically removing the waste thereby achieving sustainability. But AM is at its
formative stage – the space between the concept and growth - where many promising breakthrough
technologies fail. To reach its full potential, it needs to achieve high-scale adoption. In this paper, we examine
how AM can significantly reduce/eliminate waste and how it can deliver triple bottom line on an
unprecedented scale. We contend that AM, if adopted deeply and widely, will take LM to its final frontier, but
there are a number of impediments to this end. We identify legitimation as critical to its wide diffusion and
develop a number of propositions expediting AM's legitimation. Legitimation of AM will ensure its deep and
broad diffusion and should this happen, waste will be a thing of the past an important stride towards
sustainable future. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
Contemporary multi-tier supply chains are increasingly international, complex, and challenging for suppliers
and focal companies. In addition to this, internal and external stakeholders, regulators, consumers and non-
governmental organizations all now require firms to take responsibility for and action towards mitigating
unsustainable practices and misconduct in their supply chains. In dealing with this complex supply chain
context, quantitative modeling approaches are relevant in their ability to capture the complexity of problems
in order to propose effective and sustainable solutions. The main objective of this study is to review selected
literature on the effective management of sustainability in supply chains, and its attendant implications for
multi-tier supply chain modeling problems. Previously published modeling research that may directly or
indirectly provide lessons for multi-tier sustainable supply chains is investigated utilizing the Scopus database.
After analyzing the relevant literature, we deliver the following contributions: (a) a systematization and
classification of the selected papers; (b) a description of 16 research gaps that remain in the literature and that
may be useful in expanding research efforts in this domain; (c) four lessons for both practitioners and
managers dealing with sustainability in multi-tier supply chains; (d) an integrative framework which
encapsulates key areas of focus to develop multi-tier sustainable supply chains. Implications for theory and
practice are suggested, as well as limitations concerning the scope of this systematic review. © 2018 Elsevier

The growing interest in sustainability increases the challenges for decision makers in selecting the sustainable
suppliers in which consider economic, environmental and social aspects. Particularly, decision makers are
being increasingly motivated to improve their supply chain activities in coping efficiently with the objectives of
sustainable development. Where the era of sustainability threatens the current supply chain partners to either
cope with the new regulations of sustainability or leave the field for new players. Notwithstanding, most of the
recent studies considered economic and green criteria in handling sustainable supplier selection and order
allocation (SSS/OA) problems overlooking the social criteria which represents the third pillar of sustainability.
This work aims at putting forward a hybrid Multi Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM)-Fuzzy Multi-Objective
Optimization (FMOO) approach for a sustainable supplier selection and order allocation problem by
considering economic, environmental and social criteria. Thus, an integrated Fuzzy AHP-Fuzzy TOPSIS is
proposed to assess and rank suppliers according to three sets of criteria (i.e. conventional, green and social). A
Multi-Objective Optimization Model (MOOM) is developed for choosing suppliers and allocating the optimal
order quantities. To cope with the multiple uncertainties in the input data, the MOOM is reformulated into a
Fuzzy Multi-Objective Optimization Model. The ε-constraint and LP-metrics approaches are used to reveal two
sets of Pareto solutions based on the developed FMOOmodel. Finally, TOPSIS is applied to select the final
Pareto solution that is closest to the ideal solution and furthest from the nadir solution. The effectiveness and
the applicability of the developed hybrid MCDM-FMOO approach is demonstrated through a case study. ©

We are entering an era of great expectations towards our cities. The vision of “smart city” has been pursued
worldwide to transform urban habitats into superior efficiency, quality, and sustainability. This phenomenon
prompts us to ponder what role the scholars in operations management (OM) can assume. In this essay, we
express our initial thoughts on expanding OM to the smart-city scope. We review smart-city initiatives of
governments, industry, national laboratories and academia. We argue that the smart-city movement will
transition from the tech-oriented stage to the decision-oriented stage. Hence, a smart city can be perceived as
a system scope within which planning and operational decisions are orchestrated at the urban scale, reflective
of multi-dimensional needs, and adaptive to massive data and innovation. The benefits of studying smart-city
OM are manifold and significant: contributing to deeper understanding of smart cities by providing advanced
analytical frameworks, pushing OM knowledge boundaries (such as data-driven decision making), and
empowering the OM community to deliver much broader impacts than before. We discuss several research
opportunities to embody these thoughts, in the interconnected contexts of smart buildings, smart grid, smart
mobility and new retail. These opportunities arise from the increasing integration of systems and business
models at the urban scale. © 2018 Production and Operations Management Society
Digitalization is impacting almost every aspect of people’s life and is greatly affecting supply chain processes.
At the same time, supply chains are becoming progressively more aware of their impacts on people, the planet
and profits (triple bottom line perspective) and the concept of sustainable supply chain has received increasing
attention among scholars and practitioners. In this context, this article aims to analyze scientific research on
supply chain management in the field of sustainability and digitalization using a bibliometric approach. To this
end, this article analyses 484 papers from Scopus database according to the following parameters: Chronology,
discipline, source, center, country and citations. The dataset consisted of articles from scientific journals
published over the period 2002–2018. In addition, VOSviewer software is used to map the bibliographic
material using the co-occurrence of keywords and most influential journals. The analysis reveals that:
Sustainability and digitalization are important emerging fields within supply chains that have increased
significantly during the last ten years; the USA is the most influential country; and the topic is structured
around 2 clusters (1) Supply chain management, concepts and practices and (2) energy related technologies.
The results may facilitate the planning, designing, running and publishing of future research on this topic. ©

In 1994, through classic control theory, John, Naim and Towill developed the ‘Automatic Pipeline, Inventory
and Order-based Production Control System’ (APIOBPCS) which extended the original IOBPCS archetype
developed by Towill in 1982 ─ well-recognised as a base framework for a production planning and control
system. Due to the prevalence of the two original models in the last three decades in the academic and
industrial communities, this paper aims to systematically review how the IOBPCS archetypes have been
adopted, exploited and adapted to study the dynamics of individual production planning and control systems
and whole supply chains. Using various databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar (113
papers), we found that the IOBPCS archetypes have been studied regarding the a) modification of four
inherent policies related to forecasting, inventory, lead-time and pipeline to create a ‘family’ of models, b)
adoption of the IOBPCS ‘family’ to reduce supply chain dynamics, and in particular bullwhip, c) extension of the
IOBPCS family to represent different supply chain scenarios such as order-book based production control and
closed-loop processes. Simulation is the most popular method adopted by researchers and the number of
works based on discrete time based methods is greater than those utilising continuous time approaches. Most
studies are conceptual with limited practical applications described. Future research needs to focus on cost,
flexibility and sustainability in the context of supply chain dynamics and, although there are a few existing
studies, more analytical approaches are required to gain robust insights into the influence of nonlinear
elements on supply chain behaviour. Also, empirical exploitation of the existing models is recommended. ©

In recent years, there has been observed a continued growth of global carbon dioxide emissions, which are
considered as a crucial factor for the greenhouse effect and associated with substantial environmental
damages. Amongst others, logistic activities in global supply chains have become a major cause of industrial
emissions and the progressing environmental pollution. Although a significant amount of logistic-related
carbon dioxide emissions is caused by storage and material handling processes in warehouses, prior research
mostly focused on the transport elements. The environmental impact of warehousing has received only little
attention by research so far. Operating large and highly technological warehouses, however, causes a
significant amount of energy consumption due to lighting, heating, cooling and air condition as well as fixed
and mobile material handling equipment which induces considerable carbon dioxide emissions. The aim of this
paper is to summarise preliminary studies of warehouse-related emissions and to discuss an integrated
classification scheme enabling researchers and practitioners to systematically assess the carbon footprint of
warehouse operations. Based on the systematic assessment approach containing emissions determinants and
aggregates, overall warehouse emissions as well as several strategies for reducing the carbon footprint will be
studied at the country level using empirical data of the United States. In addition, a factorial analysis of the
warehouse-related carbon dioxide emissions in the United States enables the estimation of future
developments and facilitates valuable insights for identifying effective mitigation strategies. © 2016 Informa

Responsiveness, robustness and resilience (the “Triple R”) have become key objectives in global
manufacturing, as a way of gaining competitive advantage in the global marketplace. The goal is to hedge
against business uncertainties, so as to maximize the robustness of operations, maximize responsiveness by
generating operational flexibility at the minimum cost, use of inventories and environmental impact, and to
build resilience in global manufacturing, in order to achieve strategic flexibility. The Triple R is achieved by
integrating major operational items, including planning, scheduling, real-time optimization and control. This
article reviews existing contributions in the field of global manufacturing, and synthesizes these into a single
conceptual model of Triple R. The overview is provided in terms of the development of decision support tools
and methods, particularly the development of mathematical programming. The review reveals the fact that
there have been limited contributions on the social side of sustainability. Environmental impact can be
assessed by considering the product life cycle, yet the integration of R&D into global manufacturing operations
has received limited contributions. On the modelling side, there are three dominant approaches: transfer
pricing, strategic sourcing strategy, and logistics networks design. The paper ends by presenting a conceptual
model and providing a methodological procedure for building the Triple R in global manufacturing. We also
suggest implementing more advanced modelling and solution methods, which cover not only logistics and
transports, but also the integration of concurrent engineering (CE) with aggregate production planning and
scheduling. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
Organizations need to better design, manage and improve their supply chains as these become global and
more complex. To do this, they need to learn from other organizations and sectors, preempt problems before
they occur, and understand the future challenges they may face. Although over 40,000 articles and books have
been published on supply chain management since the term was coined in 1982, a clear understanding of the
emerging trends, current knowledge gaps and potential areas for future development is only now emerging.
Our bibliometric analysis of the existing literature suggests we still need to better understand how to manage
security, insourcing, sustainability, competition, risk and disruption, and human behaviour within supply
chains. Equally, there is still a lack of research within healthcare, disaster and humanitarian supply chains, as
well as within small and medium enterprises. supply chain management; research; surveys; bibliometrics. ©

This paper presents multi-criteria decisions support system based on fuzzy AHP for eco-design of a product.
The proposed DSS is based on the guidelines given by ISO 14063 standards used in the eco- design of a
product. The fuzzy AHP techniques have been applied at relevant steps of product design and development
stage of the standard methodology in order to evaluate different tradeoffs related to eco-design strategies.
The triangular fuzzy numbers are generated based on the fuzziness of the linguistic variables of the DSS model.
In addition to comparing the environmental aspects against the economic aspects, even the social aspects
have been considered in this study. The proposed model has been validated with the selected designs of the
local traditional brass manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka. The results reveal that the local brass manufacturers
should concentrate further on the triple bottom-line of sustainability when developing their designs for eco-
manufacturing. Further, this research can be extended to other stages of the standard methodology and as
well as to other phases of the life cycle. © IEOM Society International. © IEOM Society International.
In recent years, interest on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has risen significantly in both the
academic and business communities. This is confirmed by the growing number of conferences, journal
publications, special issues and websites dedicated to the topic. Within this context, this paper reviews the
existing literature related to decision-support tools and performance measurement for SSCM. A narrative
literature review is carried out to capture qualitative evidence, while a systematic literature review is
performed using classic bibliometric techniques to analyse the relevant body of knowledge identified in 384
papers published from 2000 to 2013. The key conclusions include: the evidence of a research field that is
growing, the call for establishing the scope of current research, i.e. the need for integrated performance
frameworks with new generation decision-support tools incorporating triple bottom line (TBL) approach for
managing sustainable supply chains. There is a need to identify a wide range of specific industry-related TBL
metrics and indexes, and assess their usefulness through empirical research and case-base analysis. We need
mixed methods to thoroughly analyse and investigate sustainable aspects of the product life cycle across the
supply chains, through empirical evidence, building and/or testing theory from and in practice. © 2014 Taylor
