  • Attributing responsibility in AI-assisted supply chain management decisions: the impact of outcomes on locus of control   Order a copy of this article
    by Alessia Dorigoni 
    Abstract: This study examines responsibility attribution in AI-assisted decision-making in supply chain management, focusing on how decision outcomes (success or failure) influence perceptions of accountability between the AI system and the human manager. Using a between-subjects experimental design, 160 participants evaluated AI-assisted decision scenarios with positive or negative outcomes. Specifically, participants were asked to assign the responsibility for the outcome achieved by the firm to both the AI and the manager. The study shows an outcome-based asymmetry in responsibility attribution: success is attributed to AI, while failure is blamed on the manager, suggesting managerial oversight could mitigate AI errors. These findings emphasize the need for transparent, accountable AI systems in organizations to balance human oversight and responsibility and they provide valuable educational insights for managers, equipping them with a deeper understanding of the risks and responsibilities involved when leveraging AI in supply chain management.
    Keywords: artificial intelligence; decision-making; accountability; educational insights.

  • Integrating sustainability in supply chain finance education: enhancing learning and organisational competitiveness   Order a copy of this article
    by Gerardo Bosco, Alessia Sciarrone, Raffaele D'Amore, Mario Calabrese 
    Abstract: This paper explores the evolution of supply chain finance (SCF) as a collaborative financial management approach, and its role in addressing the growing importance of sustainability and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) principles. It focuses on sustainable supply chain finance (SSCF) as a strategic link between financial and operational practices and sustainability goals, emphasising its potential to transform global supply chains. The adoption of SSCF practices offers significant opportunities to improve business efficiency, accountability, and resilience. The paper provides an overview of strategies and challenges in SSCF, while also discussing the crucial role of education and professional training in advancing its adoption. Embedding SSCF into academic curricula and lifelong learning programs equips professionals with the skills needed to align financial performance with sustainability. Combining academic literature and sector insights, this study aims to deliver a comprehensive perspective on the convergence of sustainability and SCF, offering actionable strategies to overcome implementation barriers.
    Keywords: supply chain finance; SCF; sustainable supply chain finance; SSCF; green supply chain finance; supply chain management education.
