Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to a Topic focused on Sustainable Supply Chain Practices in a Digital Age. The integration of digital technologies with sustainability initiatives in supply chain management presents new opportunities and challenges that merit rigorous exploration. This call aims to advance the understanding and application of these transformative practices.

We encourage the submission of original research, case studies, and theoretical papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Digital Transformation in Supply Chains: AI, blockchain, IoT, and their roles in achieving sustainable supply chains.
  • Sustainability Metrics and Analytics: Tools for measuring, monitoring, and optimizing sustainability performance.
  • Circular Economy and Digital Tools: Leveraging technology for closed-loop supply chains.
  • Green Logistics and Transportation: Innovations in reducing carbon footprints.
  • Ethical Sourcing and Traceability: Digital approaches to ensuring ethical labor practices and supply chain transparency.
  • Resilient and Agile Supply Chains: Enhancing adaptability while maintaining sustainability goals.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Using digital platforms for enhanced collaboration among suppliers, manufacturers, and consumers.
  • Regulatory and Policy Implications: Adapting to evolving standards and compliance in a digital age.

Join us in advancing the dialog on sustainable supply chain management in the digital age. We look forward to your contributions.

Background: The global supply chain landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with the increasing adoption of digital tools. Despite the potential benefits, many organizations struggle to effectively integrate these technologies due to a lack of systematic understanding and frameworks. At the same time, the academic literature on supply chain digitalization lacks a clear taxonomy and analysis of research paradigms that guide scholarly investigations. Methods: To address these gaps, this paper conducts a comprehensive literature review utilizing an analytic approach, based on abductive reasoning, that establishes an analytical framework to identify, assess, and examine the application of various digital technologies in supply chain management. Results: Based on this analysis, the authors propose new systematic dimensions for digitalization in supply chains, alongside emerging research paradigms in this field. Conclusions: The findings provide valuable insights into the current research landscape, offering a foundation for future investigations. Additionally, practical recommendations are presented for advancing research, education, and management practices, with the goal of promoting innovation and the effective implementation of digital technologies in supply chain management.
