Article
The pulp and paper industry has significant sustainability implications and necessarily requires a careful consideration of direct and lower- tier suppliers for effective sustainable supply chain management. This paper utilized an extensive literature review and semi- structured interviews of experts in the Chinese pulp and paper industry to uneart...
Chapter
Full-text available
One of the biggest challenges faced by manufacturing companies today is the significant increase in range of supply chain (SC) problems that must be solved. Unfortunately, the traditional planning approach cannot match the diversity of these complex problems. There is a huge place for leveraging new technologies in supply chain and logistics. Indus...
Article
This study proposes a technology- organization- environment (TOE) theoretical framework of critical factors that influence the successful adoption of blockchain technologies in the freight logistics industry and prioritize them using the analytic network process (ANP). The research findings indicate that ‘availability of specific blockchain tools’,...
