To better understand how and why SMEs approach multi-tier SCM, the paper applies a social capital perspective. The paper builds upon 11 case studies with SMEs from bordering regions of Salzburg and Upper Austria (Austria) and Bavaria (Germany), presenting material from interviews with their executive personnel. All 11 SMEs emphasise the role of all three dimensions of social capital, shared vision, shared interaction, and trust for multi-tier SCM. Reliability, product and service quality, cost management, and sourcing are targets of pursuing all three dimensions of social capital regarding multi-tier SCM. In the case of trust, responsiveness is an additional target of pursuing social capital in multi-tier SCM. For shared vision, data and information availability are additional targets. Journal: Int.

Logistics service provider evaluation and selection is challenging as it involves multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria, alternatives and decision-makers (DM). Most studies focused on economic and operational efficiency factors whereas environmental and social sustainability factors are mostly neglected. The economic, operational, environmental and social criteria for LSP selection were identified from the literature and discussion with industry experts. The proposed novel stochastic step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (S-SWARA) method for LSP selection criteria ranking takes into account the variability in criteria ratings by DM. A case study of the Indian manufacturing industry along with sensitivity analysis is demonstrated. The significance level plays an important role in criteria ranking. Implications for researchers and practitioners are also provided. Journal: Int.

A total of 82 papers published from 2000 to 2021 were reviewed using preferred reporting item for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). This study uses the SCOR model to explain the implementation of RASCM in supply chain phases as well as the EOCD-FAO framework to explain the responsible issue, including health and safety, labour rights, environmental aspect, etc. The result shows that research in RASCM dominated the source phase of the supply chain, which explains the supplier-buyer relationship. Research in other phases needs to be elaborated further. The research in simulating the dynamic behaviour of supply chain members in the collaboration process also needs further elaboration.

These characteristics provide the basis for governance problems such as conflicts of interest and information asymmetries. This study explores the impact of a transition from traditional contacting to performance-based contracting (PBC) on these challenges and the interplay between relational and contractual governance. In addition, this study explores how advanced digital technologies may help improve PBC's effect on governance. Both aims are addressed through an in-depth analysis of two case studies from large-scale German aerospace projects. The findings indicate that PBC can help enhance governance in large-scale projects by controlling the outcome and aligning goals. They also acknowledge the potential of behavioural control through advanced digital technologies that supply real-time information during service delivery. However, the supplier must be able to fully control the outcome for the approach to deliver the intended success. Journal: Int.

The deliveries in dense cities cause serious issues such as pollution and congestion. In this study, we compare the financial costs of different last mile delivery strategies of grocery bins by autonomous delivery vehicles in a scenario in Paris. The optimal delivery routes are calculated with the real dataset in urban areas of Paris. We compared delivery costs by using: logistical costs associated with vehicles and human resources, location data with time window constraints for establishments in Paris, and delivery scenarios obtained by solving vehicle routing problems. This research considers an economic analysis of daily delivery to help fleet operators optimise their costs by using these autonomous delivery vehicles while reducing CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emissions and congestion in urban areas.

It contributes to the literature on the SC by proposing and empirically testing a conceptual model that explains the relationships between collaboration, SC integration, knowledge sharing, and SC resilience. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to 450 SC managers. The sample consisted of 186 valid respondents, and the response rate was 41.3%. Data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using Smart PLS Software. This study confirms that knowledge sharing is a crucial predictor of SC resilience. It also finds that collaboration and SC integration have less impact than knowledge sharing in promoting SC resilience. This is justified by the vital role of knowledge sharing in promoting SC collaboration, integration, and resilience. Thus, improving SC knowledge sharing impacts SC integration and resilience significantly. Journal: Int.

This study aims to identify major success factors for such supply chain management projects, with special focus on the roles of supply chain visibility and project flexibility. We adopted a mixed methods approach, comprising semi-structured expert interviews and an online survey. The findings from the interviews are used as a basis for developing a structural equation model, which is estimated with a PLS-SEM approach using survey data. We conclude that, besides excellence in project management, supply chain visibility and project flexibility are important success factors for supply chain management projects. Moreover, supply chain visibility's influence on project success is moderated by the degree of flexibility in the project. Journal: Int.

They enhance information sharing and collaboration between SC entities. This research contributes to providing a more complete understanding of the relationships between the size of the firm and its adoption of SC digital tools and the challenges encountered. For this purpose, we mobilise the resource-based view (RBV) and analyse 311 surveys collected from SC professionals using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Our results clarify the role of firm size in SC digitalisation. More precisely, groups of different firm sizes show a significant difference of SC digital tools adoption level and our study enables researchers and practitioners to understand that this difference depends on the type of tools (either operational or support tools). In addition, this study brings a counter-intuitive result that is not consistent with previous research: there is no difference between the groups of different firm sizes with regards to SC digitalisation challenges encountered.

This study focused on process, information and knowledge as integrated coordination mechanisms for managing interrelated processes between work units from the supply chain's end-to-end stages. The study's anchored theories were reviewed and research hypotheses were developed to conceptualise how process integration, information integration and knowledge integration in the cycle view and performance cycle of the supply chain is driven by integrated coordination for effective and efficient supply chain performance. Data were collected from Nigerian manufacturing firms and hypotheses were tested with the aid of multiple regression analysis. Findings from the study show that manufacturing firms in Nigeria are not practicing the end-to-end stages of supply chain integrated coordination. Journal: Int.

It also filled the gap on how socioeconomic situations (SES) of retailers in vegetable supply chain (VSC) influenced the adoption of circular economy (CE) as an inimitable tool against PHL. A survey of 337 retailers was undertaken in Akinyele grocery market Ibadan, the result showed that retailers believed the adoption of the LM principle statistically predicted the reduction in the volume of PHL of studied vegetables. Similarly, SES variables of gender and literacy significantly predicted the adoption of principles of CE in the management of PHL based on retailers' perceptions. Findings suggest that forging of inter-organisational relationship is critical for successful performance of lean in VSC; likewise, knowledge management (KM) tool of literacy is an important consideration in adopting a novel strategy to guide against PHL among members of VSC.

Our focus is on the vulnerabilities and capabilities of a supply chain that need to be balanced to achieve resilience. We explore the interdependencies of these two categories of SCR by developing an innovative framework to realise capabilities after identifying the SCR vulnerabilities. First, we propose a framework that systematises the vulnerabilities and capabilities identified in the literature. Then, we discuss the identified SCR characteristics based on the framework and quantitatively evaluate the literature reviews' focus on the two SCR categories. A synthesis of the research results shows the SCR characteristics addressed in the literature and reveals deficits for specific vulnerabilities. Finally, we outline future research opportunities based on these findings by mapping SCR capabilities and vulnerabilities in light of Industry 4.0 and digital supply chain developments. Then, we derive research gaps and recommended actions for practitioners in the context of SCR and Industry 4.0. Journal: Int.

Based on expert interviews, we investigate the effectiveness of various solutions and strategies to counter different supply chain disruptions. At the beginning of the pandemic, proactive measures such as stock buffering and dual sourcing proved to be useful in case of upstream disruptions (supply shortages), due to closure or reduced production or distribution. A counterintuitive finding is that reactive measures appear more effective than proactive measures in case of downstream disruptions (demand spikes), due to sudden shifts of demand. Based on our findings we propose several research propositions. Journal: Int.

The opinions and perceptions of 159 enterprises' managers were surveyed, in which 18 critical barriers were identified using the questionnaire. By applying the ISM tool, the ranks and the degree of influence of each barrier for each technique of industry were achieved. It was observed that cost and lack of financial resources and fund programs always comes in the first rank, which means it is the most influencing barrier among all other barriers. The main implication of this research is providing a roadmap to decision-makers to facilitate Industry 4.0 implementation in a number of ways in Egyptian SMEs in various sectors. Journal: Int.

These challenges vary from time to time depending on the economic situation, geographical location, and cultural context. It is therefore important to examine how such challenges and their interpretations have changed. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on ethics published since the turn of the millennium. The review covers 102 papers from Scopus. The results show that in recent years there has been significant change in the topics (a shift away from classical ethical issues towards social responsibility and sustainability), and in the geographical location of research (typically the USA and Europe but increasingly also Asia and Africa). Although recent research has responded to changes in legislation and local issues, there is a lack of research on the impact of COVID and of supply chain disruption. Journal: Int.

Therefore, it is acknowledged as a dynamic capability that vitally affects the success of supply chain management in the disruptive technology era. The aim of this paper is to make a tremendous contribution to the relevant literature by developing and validating a measurement instrument in this field. It deals with the structure in a more comprehensive way and in line with its theoretical framework, unlike extant measurement tools. Accordingly, the paper was performed in six steps, and the sample size consisted of 48 firms for the pilot study and 484 firms for the main study. Therefore, a nine-item and single-factor scale has been developed and validated. The paper ends with an evaluation of the findings. Journal: Int.
