Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change, resource scarcity, and social responsibility challenges have intensified the emphasis on sustainable supply chain management and logistics. Conventional supply chains are under heightened examination due to their substantial resource usage, emissions, and ecological effects. All of this is leading to a transition towards models that emphasize sustainable practices. This Special Issue aims at enhancing both theoretical and practical comprehension of sustainable supply chain management in relation to sustainable development and operations. In accordance with the journal's focus, it aims to connect academic research with industry practices, investigating how sustainable supply chain management can improve competitiveness while reducing and minimizing ecological impacts. This Issue invites submissions that demonstrate interdisciplinary research, linking environmental science, operations research, and economics to tackle the complex challenges in sustainable logistics and supply chains.

Specific topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

Green and circular supply chains; digitalization and sustainable supply chains; risk management and resilience in sustainable supply chain management. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Considering the continuous diversity of the supply chain and the increasing risks involved, small and medium enterprises are overly concerned about managing related risks because these firms hardly have the capacity to bear major shocks. Furthermore, considering the resource scarcity of these firms, the moderating roles of entrepreneurial networking, and the current pace of change in technology, the moderating effect of technological turbulence has also been added to the research. Quantitative methods have been applied in this research. The data have been collected using adapted questionnaires from prior studies. A purposive sampling technique has been applied to collect the data. A sample of 99 small and medium enterprises was chosen, and their owners and managers were chosen as representatives. The framework has been evaluated using Structural equation modelling with the help of SMART PLS-3. The findings drawn from the analysis of the empirical data confirmed that supply chain risk management holds a significant impact on product innovation performance and sustainability in SMEs. Additionally, entrepreneurial networking and technological turbulence both hold a significant direct impact on product innovation performance and sustainability as well. Moreover, entrepreneurial networking and technological turbulence hold a significant moderating effect on the relationship between supply chain risk management and product innovation performance.
