ABSTRACTThis study investigates the mediation effect of customer empathy between theenvironmental orientation of retail firms, and subsequent customer purchasing behaviour towards eco-friendly goods. The empirical study developed conceptual and operational measurement variables from prior research and collected data from retail firm customers in the Republic of Korea. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the reliability and validity of the collected data, and relationships between the variables were analysed using structural equation modelling. Two findings resulted as follows. First, a retail firm’s environmental orientation, manifested by a strategic approach to environmental issues and environmental capabilities, does positively affect customer empathy towards them. Second, positive customer empathy towards a retail firm’s environmental orientation positively affects customer purchasing behaviour towards the retail firm’s eco-friendly goods.KEYWORDS: Environmental orientationcustomer empathypurchasing behaviourretail firmseco-friendly goodsRepublic of Korea Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest is reported by the authors.Data availability statementDue to the nature of this research, participants of this study did not agree for their data to be shared publicly, so supporting data are not available.Ethics approvalApproval received from Kyonggi University, Republic of Korea.

ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of sustainable logistics and supply chain management (SL&SCM) started gaining popularity in academia, more than 5000 publications have been published in the last 30 years. This study aims to review the literature in SL&SCM published from 1994–2019 and present insights and directions for future research. First, this study selects 2809 publications from WoS and Scopus databases, presents a bibliometric overview of SL&SCM. Second, this study presents a visual collaboration network based on VOSviewer® and Bibliometric®. Finally, this study shows visual thematic trends, challenges, and opportunities. The limitations of this paper are also summarised. Research results show that the mainstream studies mainly focus on the case studies, green practices, green performance, optimisation, and carbon footprint. In addition, the thematic evolution of keywords shows that sustainability and supply chain issues have become basic themes in the field of SL&SCM research in recent years.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of the effects of big data analytics on supply chain resilience. The Big Data Analytics (BDA) expertise of management and personnel, as well as the Supply Chain (SC) resilience dimensions of preparedness and agility are considered in this research. This study tests five main hypotheses using data obtained from an empirical survey collected from 128 Emirati companies, which were analysed through the partial least square method of structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.2. The measurement model created was reflective and contained a total of 31 construct indicators. The results showed that the construct of ‘big data analytics capability of planning' as demonstrated by expertise of Emirati companies in the UAE management has a significantly positive influence on SC preparedness. In addition, SC preparedness has a direct, positive influence on SC agility which are preparedness for the companies towards digital transformation initiative in the UAE. The study will be helpful for the logistics industry of the UAE and worldwide to understand the need and importance of the BDA aspects and related capability planning for business resilience at times of such global pandemic.

Last-mile Logistics (LML) solutions in cities have become a priority due to the increasing demand for products, changes in population consumption, ai r quality challenges, population pressure, and economic downturns. There are many solutions to achieve a sustainable LML, as it depends on the characteristics and goals of each city. This study develops a weighting framework incorporating expert judgments and the contextual urban environment to identify the key criteria when evaluating sustainable LML solutions. The framework is applied in six European cities to examine how the sensitivity of the urban context influences the weights assigned to these criteria. By analysing the variations in weights, the study aims to understand the impact of contextual factors on the importance of different aspects of LML. We found that social and environmental sustainability are essential criteria. The urban context significantly influences the sustainability of different solutions, as each city has its own priorities and challenges. The methodology defined in this paper may contribute to helping policymakers to promote sustainable LML.

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the effect of digital transformation on sustainable performance in the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) era. Survey data from China is used to test the mediating role of supply chain agility and integration as well as the moderating effect of perceived business force. The findings reveal that supply chain agility mediates the effects of digital transformation on economic and social performance, particularly under high level of perceived business force. However, no significant effect on environmental performance is observed. Additionally, supply chain integration acts as a mediator for the effects of digital transformation on economic, social and environmental performance, furthermore, the moderated mediation effects of perceived business force are supported. This study elusidates how digitalisation influences organisational sustainable performance through supply chain capabilities and highlights the crucial role of digital supply chain in the VUCA era. It provides theoretical and practical implications for achieving sustainable development.KEYWORDS: Digital transformationsupply chain agilitysupply chain integrationsustainable performanceperceived business force Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe datasets used during the current study can be provided on reasonable request.

ABSTRACTIn today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, it is crucial for management to determine how to develop and maintain highly operational, sustainable organisations amid digitalisation. Digitalisation creates conditions for the emergence of new technologies, leading to heightened anticipation in this dynamic setting. However, their effects on firm performance are inconsistent. This study adopts the ‘Strategy-Structure-Capabilities-Performance’ framework to investigate how firms align the anticipation of new technologies (strategy), horizontal integration (structure), and agility (capability) to achieve remarkable operational and environmental performance. Data from a high-performance manufacturing database was used to identify 195 firms across 15 countries. The proposed model was assessed through regression and structural equation modelling. The findings imply that: (1) anticipation of new technologies contributes to the development of agility, (2) this anticipation, when aligned with horizontal integration, further enhances agility, and (3) increased agility can significantly improve both operational and environmental performance.KEYWORDS: Anticipation of new technologieshorizontal integrationagilitystrategy structure capabilities performance perspectivesustainabilityhigh performance manufacturing Data availability statementData are available on request from the authors.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

The transition from a linear to a Circular Economy is considered a revolutionary step toward a greener economy. Ensuring a successful transition requires radical changes in our current siloed approach to applying circular business models. Such models aim to mitigate negative environmental impact whilst fostering growth and prosperity. This research focuses on three models (‘Circular Supply’, ‘Resource Recovery’ and ‘Product-Life-Extension’). It aims to explore their collaborative aspects and influencing factors in the transition process towards circular ecosystems. By applying the theoretical lens of Social Capital Theory, with its characteristics of bonding, linking and bridging, findings revealed a snapshot of current circular practices in various industry sectors. In addition, the influencing factors for the specific Circular Business Models were identified based on the seven categories of: (1) Awareness/Social/Community; (2) Circular Workplace Environment; (3) Circular Material; (4) Customer and Market demand; and (5) Business and political standards, (6) Perception and individual standards/expertise, and (7) Communication skills. Finally, the findings were used to offer practical insights for organizations beginning their circular journey, with the categories being mapped alongside the CBMs.

The Clydebank Declaration proposed the concept of Green Shipping Corridor (GSC) at the 26th Congress of the Parties (COP 26) in 2021 to prioritise and accelerate the decarbonisation of the maritime industry. By sharing cost and risk burdens by the ten key stakeholders in the production of zero-emission ships and the use of green fuel oils, the GSC is conceived as an effective policy mechanism and logistics strategy to reduce GHG emissions at sea as well as to mitigate business risks inherent in the value chain. To ignite broader policy debate and discussion on the practical value of GSC, this paper reviews the current developments in GSCs, identifies key challenges in its implementation from a stakeholder’s perspective, and sets out global research agendas and future directions for decarbonising the maritime industry in the context of GSC.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to explore how blockchain facilitates supply chain finance (SCF) platform business model reconfiguration. We conduct a case study on a typical Chinese SCF platform to address research questions and propose a blockchain-enabled SCF platform business model framework. The results show that (1) the reconfiguration of the SCF platform business model is driven by internal factors (content, governance, transaction structure) and external factors (sector dynamics, geographical environment, technology) in the context of blockchain. (2) Blockchain influences the SCF platform business model reconfiguration through empowering the operation of SCF information, financial, material, and value flows. (3) The introduction of blockchain changes the business model of the SCF platform significantly, which is mainly reflected in the improved value proposition, expanded value network, strengthened value creation, and generated value appropriation. This study contributes to the existing literature on SCF, business model, and blockchain. The research also provides some important practical implications.
