Background
Fewer studies have analyzed the clinical trials within the digital therapeutics (DTx) domain, lacking the comprehensive scope to capture the full spectrum of global DTx research. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric and text-mining analysis of the global research landscape of DTx clinical trials.
Objectives
This study aims t...
Knowledge management practices (KMP) are critical to improving the humanitarian supply chain (HSC) performance and globally adopted sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, organizations involved in HSC have not realized the full potential of KMP. Numerous factors influence the adoption of KMP in HSC. However, from a strategic and global deve...
Purpose
Numerous prior studies highlight the importance of social media adoption (SMA) in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the disaster preparedness phase (DPP). However, in India, social media is underused by NGOs in their attempts to mitigate the adverse impact of the disaster. Therefore, this study aims to seek to empirically investigate...
Purpose
The adoption of the design thinking approach (DTA) within organizations is crucial for generating creative and innovative solutions to complex business and societal problems. However, the integration of DTA into organizational practices is progressing slowly and needs immediate attention. Numerous interrelated and interdependent barriers hi...
Purpose
Blockchain technology (BCT) has multiple benefits across industries in varied contexts, but limited organizations have adopted such disruptive innovative technologies in the healthcare industry in India. The research on advancing the understanding of blockchain adoption (BCA) determinants in India's healthcare industry is limited. Thus, the...
Purpose
The humanitarian supply chain (HSC) area is rich with conceptual frameworks with a focus on the importance of information and digital technology (IDT) applications. These frameworks have a limited scope in investigating and prioritizing barriers to IDT adoption in HSCs. The present study thus identifies and prioritizes the barriers to IDT a...
Purpose
The study aims to analyze the intellectual structure in sustainable procurement (SP) research to identify the knowledge research clusters and provide potential avenues for future research.
Design/methodology/approach
The study conducted a bibliometric analysis to analyze the intellectual structure in the area of SP. Overall, 1,294 articles...
The present study investigates how knowledge leadership affects project performance and quality practices in information technology (IT) projects. A questionnaire-based survey was designed to collect responses from 198 mid-level employees of five big Indian IT firms. The data was analysed using PLS-based SEM technique. The findings revealed that kn...
Humanitarian operational excellence depends on effective coordination and collaboration not only between supply chain partners but also among other actors such as host government, local and international non-government organisations (NGOs), and donors. Importantly, effective coordination and collaboration are facilitated by big data and modern info...

The contemporary research in the area of technology adoption mainly focuses on commercial supply chains. However, limited research focuses on the context of humanitarian supply chains. This calls to develop structural models that can scrutinize the technology adoption behaviour of the users in the humanitarian context. Therefore, this study is an a...
The rise in the occurrence of disasters has hampered the development of many countries. Practitioners and academicians are making continuous demands to enhance the utilization of information communication technologies (ICTs) in humanitarian supply chain management (HSCM) in order to continue or enhance the pace of economic growth and development of...
The increase in the occurrence of natural disasters worldwide is of growing concern for the social and economic development of the countries involved. Disasters are unavoidable but actions can be taken to mitigate the impact of disaster on the country concerned. The efficiency of disaster relief operations cannot be enhanced as a whole; the organiz...
