Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud, big data, blockchain, and social media have changed the landscape of supply chain management and have dramatically influenced supply chain structures and activities. Although digital technologies have the potential to drive decisions and enhance performance, many firms that have invested in digital technologies have reported failure in gaining the advantage of adopting digital technologies. Various technological, organizational, and environmental factors may influence the successful adoption and implementation of digital technologies. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to illustrate the impact of digital technologies in various areas of the supply chain, to discuss the drivers and barriers of successful adoption and implementation of digital technologies, and to provide guidelines for successful digital transformation. We seek submissions on a broad range of topics not limited to:
- Effects of digital technologies in different steps of the value chain;
- Roles of various stakeholders in facilitating and promoting digital transformation;
- Drivers and barriers of adopting and implementing digital technologies in various areas of the supply chain;
- Guidelines for facing the barriers and successful implementation;
- Lessons learned from COVID-19 in adopting and implementing digital technologies;
- Evaluating efficiency of supply chains adpoting digital transformation.
