Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, traditional operation management has been facing several challenges such as globalization, resource scarcity, energy crisis, regulatory pressure, pollution, and environmental issues. In order to face these economic, societal, and environmental challenges, many companies have started to implement green and digital-transformation-oriented practices in their operations.
In addition, recent advancements in Information Communication Technology (ICT), such as Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IOT), are also changing traditional operation management. These advancements are revolutionizing business models, technology innovation and use, the consumption and availability of applications, and the sharing of knowledge involving both human and machine spheres.
Digital transformation, which integrates digital technology into all areas of a business, will result in fundamental changes to how businesses operate and how they deliver value to customers while increasing the competitiveness of the industrial sectors, impacting not only the private but also the public sector, including agencies and organizations.
A green economy is defined as a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive economy, pursuing knowledge and practices that can lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions and lifestyles, which can help protect the environment and sustain its natural resources for current and future generations.
This Special Issue aims to address questions related to green and digital transformation in operations management. This Special Issue invites original research papers, case studies, reviews, and critical perspectives for current and newly applied approaches. Potential topics for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Operation strategies;
