Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Operations and supply chains have been experiencing significant changes resulting from technological transformations. Specifically, the digitalization of a firm’s internal and external supply chain processes has become a key topic for scholars and practitioners. Digitalization tightly connects the supply chain, completely changing how data are collected, distributed, and processed in the supply chain network. The increased traceability and visibility of the supply chain achieved by digitalization not only makes transactions more transparent and efficient but also opens new opportunities for sustainable operations and supply chain management. In other words, extending the digitalization issue into operations and supply chain management is a crucial step in improving the firm-level and supply chain-level sustainability performances. However, in addition to such promises, the challenge of integrating digitalization with sustainability issues across the entire supply chain is still enormous, requiring further investigation.
This Special Issue, “Digital transformation and sustainable supply chain management 2nd Edition”, provokes discussion about important issues in the field of sustainability and aims to explore the drivers, processes, and output performance behind digitalization initiatives for a sustainable supply chain.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Strategic roles of digital transformation in operations and sustainable supply chain management;
- Drivers of digitalization in the field of sustainability;
- Challenges and opportunities of digitalization in the field of sustainability;
- Different digital technologies and their effects on sustainable supply chain performance;
- Effects of digital analytic capability on sustainable supply chain performance;
- The digital platform, business model transformation, and sustainable supply chain;
- Digital transformation and the formation and evolution of sustainable ecosystems;
- The joint effect of digital technologies and the social factors in the field of sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
