“…Third, when looking at the processes described in the papers, we found that developed market-based papers tend to present research that analyses environmental sustainability applications across distinct supply chain phases or activities, e.g., product development [58,59], supplier relationship management [56,60], production [61], logistics and distribution [55,57,62,63], and customer relationship management [27,64]. In contrast, research related to developing economies is focused mainly on papers that deal with the supply chain as a whole, and there is no or little focus on specific supply chain processes, e.g., Messner et al, Villa et al,Bryceson and Ross [31,37,41].…”

“…Regarding the papers in the domain of the developed markets, we found big data applications that were used to measure and increase energy efficiency, and reduce water and resource consumption, waste, and emissions in the German automotive sector [61]. Fulton and Lee focus instead on sustainable initiatives in the fashion online retail sector [63], whereas Wei et al [62] provide an overview of digital technology applications in logistics and transportation. Among these, we found Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) to monitor logistics processes, and blockchain to guarantee security and traceability.…”

With the rise in global consumption and the consequent intensive demand for global resources, the attention of scholars and practitioners towards greener supply chains has grown over the years. In this context, this study has two main aims. The first is to offer an up-to-date literature review of the ways in which sustainability is pursued in diverse settings, based on the sector, the geographical area, and the level of adoption of digital technologies of a company. The second aim is to identify the research gaps in this field, and to suggest directions for future investigations. The results of the structured literature review reveal that, although developed and developing countries tend to focus on different types of sustainable interventions, three factors are consistently considered to be crucial for the success of a sustainable initiative in global supply chains. These factors are the collaboration along the supply chain, the commitment of the top management, and the presence of environmentally-oriented policies or regulations. These three factors complicate the decision-making process that is needed to implement sustainable practices. Therefore, we suggest ways in which to design future research that better capture the real challenges of making environmentally conscious decisions, leveraging on the concepts of the Intertwined Supply Network (ISN) and the cognitive frame.

“…On the contrary, DSC makes systems reliable, agile and effective by distributing information, facilitating collaboration and communications across digital platforms (Raab and Griffin-Cryan, 2011). In the traditional supply chain, technology is used to collect, store and present data, while in DSC, technology is used to make strategic decisions (Wei et al, 2019). Therefore, DSC can be defined as the new interconnected intelligent system that extends supply chain application beyond local/single company, to improve customer service and business performance (Wu et al, 2016).…”

“…This adoption and reliance on digital technologies to perform business activities is referred to as "digital transformation" or "digitalization." These terms describe the integration of digital technology into all business areas to create new or modify existing business processes, culture and customer experiences, fundamentally changing how firms operate and deliver value to customers (Nahrkhalaji et al, 2018;Wei et al, 2019). Therefore, the digital transformation of the supply chain is defined as the use of digital technologies to connect, integrate and improve the business activities also involving suppliers and customers (Bu ¨yu ¨ko ¨zkan and Go ¨c ¸er, 2018).…”

Purpose In the previous decade, a substantial amount of research has been undertaken to measure the digitalized supply chain (DSC) performance. This paper aims to present a systematic literature review on DSC performance measurement metrics to apprehend current practices, recognize gaps and advocate future research itineraries. Design/methodology/approach To guarantee a replicable, rigorous and transparent research process, the authors used a systematic literature review methodology to synthesize the research. A combination of 25 keywords was used to obtain 248 scientific studies in the first step. The balance scorecard (BSC) model was used to categorize 299 gathered performance metrics into 4 BSC perspectives. Findings The review highlighted the need for qualitative performance measuring metrics for DSC. During the review, only one study was identified that primarily focused on developing performance metrics for DSC. Additionally, the review identified that metrics related to internal and financial perspectives received the most attention while the “growth and learning” perspective received the least attention. The review also identified that external partners, such as distributors and suppliers, were virtually ignored in previous literature. Originality/value Although numerous literature reviews have been conducted in the past on the performance measuring metrics for supply chain management, no literature review aiming to synthesize the measuring metrics for DSC has yet been undertaken.

“…In the framework of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, the industry leaders will be the companies that shift their focus to the fields of digital design and modeling (Tolstykh, Shkarupeta, Purgaeva, & Fedorenko, 2019). Informatization and digitization of the economy and transport requires dynamic development of logistic activities (Wei, Alias, & Noche, 2019). As a result of digitization, logistics forms the basis for the implementation of new modern technologies (Romanova, Richnak, Porubanova, & Bolek, 2019).…”

The article is devoted to the formation of the logistic framework of integration processes in the Russian and world economy. Logistics infrastructure is one of the main factors of effective integration. The aim of the study was to discover some opportunities of digitization that may be used to perform a sustainable logistics framework. Digital transformation of transport companies all over the world is ongoing process.It allows transport companies to increase their competiveness and attract new customers. It also gives clients new opportunities to reduce transportation costs and increase their profit. At macro level digitization create favorable conditions for regions and countries to become a part of world trade market.Authors tried to describe interactive digital platform that will decrease time and money losses or all participants of transportation process. The results of the development of proposals for automation, identification, marking and design of railway logistics facilities for unification and simplification of technical, operational and economic decisions are presented. Their implementation will allow to manage the objects of terminal and warehouse infrastructure and expand the customer base of JSC "Russian Railways" by increasing the availability, simplicity and customer-oriented information about logistics facilities. The proposed digital platform will increase the volume of interregional and international trade by reducing the logistics costs of shippers.
