Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We request academic articles for our Special Issue, titled “From Assessment to Action: Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience in Global Networks”.
In the contemporary interconnected landscape, supply chains face varied challenges from natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, pandemics, and cyber-attacks. These disruptions underscore the need for resilient supply chains capable of enduring shocks while also adapting and recovering rapidly. This Special Issue will examine recent research, methodologies, and practices for evaluating and bolstering resilience within globalized supply chains.
Researchers are urged to explore different subjects (e.g., the creation of quantitative models to evaluate resilience; the incorporation of technological advancements, such as AI, IoT, and blockchain, in assessment methods; and the advancement of risk management frameworks designed specifically for contemporary supply chains).
Furthermore, the Call for Papers extends to refining and advancing qualitative models explicitly tailored for contemporary supply chains. These frameworks, designed to navigate the complexities of modern business landscapes, should encapsulate multifaceted risks, ranging from geopolitical shifts to technological dependencies.
We aim to include 10–12 high-quality articles in this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
