“…The developing countries do not have well-defined e-waste policies and therefore contribute more to e-waste (Mejame et al, 2020). Countries should strive to develop some e-waste policies to manage e-waste production for the benefit of the environment (Cole et al, 2018), to recycle (Garg, 2020) and to develop alternative technologies (Mejame et al, 2020;Peagam et al, 2013). The developed and developing countries differently prioritize the ewaste management system and policies (Kaminsky, 2016;Liddle, 2013).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate if country development indicators, i.e. gross domestic product per capita (GDPPC), literacy rate, internet penetration and urban population, influence the generation of e-waste on a global level. The moderation effect due to differences between countries in terms of absence or presence of e-waste policy and level of development is also checked.Design/methodology/approachThis is an archival study that builds upon data from United Nations (UN), World Bank and Global E-waste Statistics Partnership. The authors did a path analysis comprising mediation and multigroup analyses to decipher the proposed rese arch model containing data from 172 countries.FindingsThe results indicate that GDPPC, literacy rate, internet penetration and urban population do not directly influence the generation of e-waste. However, higher internet penetration in developing countries leads to higher e-waste, while higher literacy rates in developed countries suppress e-waste generation. When it comes to e-waste policy, a higher urban population without a regulatory legal framework boosts higher e-waste. The authors observed that higher internet penetration leads to higher e-waste in the presence of e-waste policy as well.Originality/valueThis is the first study to include economic well-being indicators in elaborating e-waste generation, on a global scale. No previous study has observed differences between countries nested in e-waste policy and level of development.

“…To change the grey number into crisp numbers, modified fuzzy values into crisp scores (CFCS) are used (Fu et al, 2012). Many other researchers have applied the grey approach with DEMATEL methodology in different fields successfully like thirdparty logistics selection criteria (Govindan et al, 2016), automotive parts remanufacturing (Xia et al, 2015), analyzing enablers of green innovation (Gupta & Barua, 2018), identifying critical factors of construction and demolition waste management (Liu et al, 2020), reverse logistics (Garg, 2020).…”

“…This helps in validating decision-making by the experts for this study. Many methods are used for sensitivity analysis; in this study, weights of one expert are changed, thus keeping the weights of other experts similar to check the effect of one expert over the whole system (Garg, 2020 ; Gupta & Barua, 2018 ). Earlier equal weights were assigned to the experts as the minimum experience was 07 years.…”

In the context of the food supply chain, the UN sustainable goals of 2030 aim at reducing food wastage by fifty percent. Developed countries have started taking steps, but there is little or no sign of progress toward reaching the goal for emerging economies. One such sustainable approach is incorporating circular practices in the food supply chain. A total of 15 barriers to the closed-loop food supply chain were identified through extensive literature review and expert opinions. Further ranking of barriers was done, and a causal relationship among them was built using the Grey DEMATEL methodology. It was found that traceability issues, limited expertise in information and technology, poor logistic network design, and high installation and operational cost of updated facilities were the most influential factors. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to check the robustness of the framework. This study will assist managers in forming the policies and looking after the factors ranked higher. While modeling the framework for their company, they can implement the changes to overcome the challenges of closing the loop. It will also help government regulations in setting regulations for the organization with the aim of encouraging clean practices.

“…Skinner et al and De Koster et al [232,236] individuated five main policies for returned products disposition, i.e., destroying, recycling (resell at a lower value), refurbishing (repair and resell as used), remanufacturing (repair and resell as new) and repackaging (sell as new) Each policy had different impacts on economic performance, operational responsiveness and operational service quality. In order to support reverse logistics operations, such as defining the value and the need of reconditioning of products, many frameworks and matrixes have been carried out [237][238][239][240][241][242][243], which are different from others for the market context and the variables included (for example customer perception and environmental impact). The work of Ramanathan [244] analyzed the relationship between the performance of companies in handling product returns and customer loyalty; it revealed that handling product returns played an important role in shaping customer loyalty for low-risk products and also for high-risk products, although not for products with a medium level of risk.…”

Implementing E-Commerce from Logistic Perspective: Literature Review and Methodological Framework

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

E-commerce is always more diffused as a selling channel around the whole world market, and its importance has increased and continues to increase with the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. It provides enterprises a lot of opportunities, as the importance of physical stores to sell goods is bypassed. However, it has also changed the role of logistics in the supply chain. For this reason, this work aims to identify the main logistics research areas related to e-commerce implementation and the factors and key performance indicators, which should be taken into account for each logistics research area, with particular attention to sustainable aspects. For doing this, a structured and comprehensive literature analysis is carried out. Keywords associated with e-commerce and logistics areas are matched to identify the most interesting works related to its implementation. From the analysis, five main research areas are identified: Supply Chain Network Design (SCND); Outbound Logistics (OL); Reverse Logistics (RL); Warehousing (WR); and IT and data management (E-IT). For each area, key factors, strategies and performance indicators have been identified. Finally, a methodological framework that summarizes the results of the analysis is presented; this is a useful tool for managers to implement or expand their e-commerce business. Many works are focused on one research area, carrying out critical factors, models, and methods to implement that topic. Instead, the methodological framework presented here summarizes multiple research areas from a logistic point of view, identifying for each one input and output variables and how they influence each other.
