“…In addition, Yakushiji et al [10] assess a real case study on flying drones to transport medical supplies. The other six studies rely on questionnaires and interviews to investigate user acceptance of ADVs [63,67] and assess the technologies that help increase resilience efficiency at maritime container shipping companies [72]. The limited number of empirical studies indicates that scholars are still faced with the challenges of acquiring and investigating real data.…”

“…These studies indicate a successful application of drones in transporting medical goods without needing a dedicated infrastructure. Bathke, C, x00Fc, nch, Gracht and Hartmann [72] assess some resilience strategies in the domain of maritime container shipping with the help of 51 maritime experts. The results indicate that picking the low-hanging fruit requires the deployment of drones to improve resilience in the maritime container shipping domain.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the freight transport sector. The number of studies on the impact of COVID-19 on freight transport and possible mitigation strategies are growing. However, a systematic and comprehensive review highlighting the research themes, main findings, research methods, and future research directions of these studies remains scarce. Therefore, this study presents a mixed review comprising scientometric and systematic reviews to cover these research gaps. Results show that 68 studies have been published on this topic since the beginning of 2020 and that they cover three main themes: the impacts of COVID-19 on freight transport, mitigation strategies, and recovery during and after COVID-19. In addition, we describe the research methods, main findings, and possible research directions in each of them. Thus, the findings of our work present both theoretical and practical analyses of COVID-19-related research on freight transport and provide important future research directions in this domain.

“…Resilience is a critical characteristic enabling businesses to survive and gradually adapt in adverse conditions (Smith et al, 2023), making it a crucial factor contributing to performance variations during scandals. A firm's resilience is perceived as an organizational management strategy that involves predicting, learning, and adapting to continuously changing external environments (Bathke et al, 2022; Yao et al, 2021). Hence, resilience reflects a holistic understanding of the array of survival and developmental measures taken by a firm in the face of turbulent external shocks.…”

Research on the reasons contributing to the heterogeneous effects of environmental scandals on corporate performance remains limited. This study examines the factors of corporate resilience (CR) and employs event system theory to investigate the roles of responsible innovation (RI) and relational trust (RT) in shaping the relationship between environmental scandal intensity (ESI) and CR. We focus on examining the mediating role of RI in the relationship between ESI and CR and consider the moderating effect of RT. Analyzing survey data from 211 Chinese companies, we find that RI significantly mediates the inverted U‐shaped impact of ESI on CR. Moreover, RT regulates this relationship. These findings help extend our knowledge on the practice of CR when a scandal occurs and during its aftermath.

“…In order to handle their transportation logistics, retail companies frequently turn to third-party logistics firms [157]. Imbalances in trade brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have produced blank sailings and the most unpredictably ever measured freight rates, making it vital for MCS businesses to develop resilience to deal with future occurrences of a similar nature [158]. Maritime transportation has been chaotic in recent years.…”

Bibliometric and Text Analytics Approaches to Review COVID-19 Impacts on Supply Chains

The current COVID-19 pandemic has virtually disrupted supply chains worldwide. Thus, supply chain research has received significant attention. While the impacts have been immeasurable, organizations have realized the need to design strategies to overcome such unexpected events. Therefore, the supply chain research landscape has evolved to address the challenges during the pandemic. However, available literature surveys have not explored the power of text analytics. Hence, in this review, an analysis of the supply chain literature related to the impacts of COVID-19 is performed to identify the current research trends and future research avenues. To discover the frequent topics discussed in the literature, bibliometric analysis (i.e., keyword co-occurrence network) and text mining tools (i.e., N-gram analysis and topic modeling) are employed for the whole corpus and the top-three contributing journals (i.e., Sustainability, International Journal of Logistics Management, Operations Management Research). Moreover, text analytics (i.e., Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency: TF-IDF) is utilized to discover the distinctive topics in the corpus and per journals. A total of 574 papers published up to the first semester of 2022 were collected from the Scopus database to determine the research trends and opportunities. The keyword network identified four clusters considering the implementation of digitalization to achieve resilience and sustainability, the usage of additive manufacturing during the pandemic, the study of food supply chains, and the development of supply chain decision models to tackle the pandemic. Moreover, the segmented keyword network analysis and topic modeling were performed for the top three contributors. Although both analyses draw the research concentrations per journal, the keyword network tends to provide a more general scope, while the topic modeling gives more specific topics. Furthermore, TF-IDF scores unveiled topics rarely studied, such as the implications of the pandemic on plasma supply chains, cattle supply chains, and reshoring decisions, to mention a few. Additionally, it was observed how the different methodologies implemented allowed to complement the information provided by each method. Based on the findings, future research avenues are discussed. Therefore, this research will help supply chain practitioners and researchers to identify supply chain advancements, gaps in the literature and future research streams.
