“…Information sharing across the value chain can bring the long-term benefits to the parties involved (Dubey et al , 2019; Pham et al , 2019; Eckerd and Sweeney, 2018). ICT can help in integration by facilitating the real-time information sharing by reducing variability and uncertainty in the system (Barnett et al , 2019; Amarnath et al , 2018; Zhou et al , 2018; Siddh et al , 2017).…”

“…ICT can help the supply chain with risk-based analysis to form a strategy of risk mitigation (Zhang et al , 2016b; Kilubi, 2016; Mensah et al , 2015; Näslund and Hulthen, 2012). With (Kilubi, 2016) the help of real-time data, ICT can monitor the effectiveness of intervention strategies (Barnett et al , 2019; Thöni and Tjoa, 2017). Appropriate application and management of ICT in agri-food supply need to ensure quality, efficiency and safety (Tian et al , 2019; Zhong et al , 2017; Akhtar et al , 2016).…”

PurposeThis paper presents the concerns in agri-food supply chain. Further the research investigates the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in agri-food supply chain and determines the impact of supply chain management (SCM) practices on firm performance.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical framework was proposed for the study on the basis of existing literature. Data for the study was collected with the help of structured questionnaire from 121 executives and officers of the public food distribution agency. Partial least square (PLS)–structured equation modeling was employed to test the framework and hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that ICT and SCM practices (logistics integration and supplier relationships) have a significant relationship. Furthermore, SCM practices (information sharing, supplier relationship and logistics integration) have a significant and positive impact on performance of the organization.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research could be carried out to test the moderation effect of SCM practices between ICT and organizational performance (OP). Extending the research study to the companies operating in other sectors can enhance the external validity of the study and improve the accuracy of parameters examined.Practical implicationsThis study can be of interest to the agri-food industry as well as other industry practitioners interested in improving the performance of the organization from the view of supply chain.Originality/valueThe outcomes of this study have important implications that translate into a series of recommendations for the management of public food distribution as well as other agri-food-based supply chains.

“…Based on the extensive literature review, the following research gaps have been identified (Amarnath et al , 2018; Barnett et al , 2019). Most of the previous research has considered an only traceable system for improved agri-food production or yielding capabilities, and less research has been made for minimization of agri-food losses with its safety or security.Majority of the studies has focused only on single IoT technologies at a particular stage of ASC.…”

“…Data integrating throughout the ASC may assist all stakeholders engaged in the longer period (Dubey et al , 2019). IoT may aid in coordination by allowing real-time data sharing and decreasing network heterogeneity and ambiguity (Barnett et al , 2019). Thus, in a value chain, such as the ASC, IoT is critical in maintaining traceable, transparent and integrated functions, and all of these aid in guaranteeing agri-food security and distribution to customers (Haleem et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThe prime aim of this paper is the identification and prioritization of performance indicators, which motivate the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based traceability system for the agriculture supply chain (ASC). Also, this research aims for checking the robustness of obtained results.Design/methodology/approachTen performance indicators have been identified based on the five “criteria in the IoT-based traceable system”. Further, based on five criteria, performance indicators were ranked by using grey-based “Additive Ratio Assessment”.FindingsSustainable practices obtained first rank, and certification of agri-products obtained worst ranking. Further, based on sensitivity analysis, tracking of agri-products and stakeholders' behavior have found high sensitivity. Also, information sharing and global distribution networks have found the least sensitive performance indicators.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has some limitations of taking only a few criteria and alternatives. This study may also contribute as a practical insight to the practitioners and managers in decision-making in the adoption of an IoT-based traceable system within the ASC.Originality/valueThis research may motivate the implementation of an IoT-based efficient traceability mechanism that improved the sustainability and consumer's trust in the ASC during different types of hazardous activities and other outbreaks (COVID-19). Also, this research has provided a theoretical insight based on the dynamic capability theory (DCT).

“…Furthermore, the synchronization affordance is one step closer to ICT-enabled real-time data (RTD) systems. RTD systems facilitate tactical adaptive management (iterative corrective action in program implementation), which acknowledges that changes are inevitable and programs might need to be altered in response to unexpected forces, especially in humanitarian work (Barnett et al, 2019). RTD systems, however, are currently limited in their ability to inform most strategic adaptive management as neither the timely provision of data nor accuracy of data determines adaptive success (Barnett et al, 2019).…”

Humanitarian medical organizations rely on information on and from the ground to evaluate their effectiveness and accountability. Related digitalization efforts within health information systems assume an instrumental rationality in the use of data.However, previous research identified a multitude of factors influencing actual information use for evidence-based decision-making for healthcare delivery. This case study, anchored by critical realism philosophy, unpacks these nuances against the backdrop of a globally operating organization (Médecins Sans Frontières). It aims to highlight the contextual conditions and structures that enact the contingent mechanisms at work in project monitoring within humanitarian health management information systems. By applying an affordance-based causal analysis, three mechanisms are identified: first, an analytics service provides templated analysis modalities resulting in user-producer-provider relationships; second, the rationalization and synchronization of content and software artifacts gives rise to the standardization strategy of flexible generification; third, the study uncovers the potential for increased internal social discourse and advocacy through collaborative and mobile data analysis. This paper proposes that mechanism-based explanations can be useful for theory-building in information systems research as well as for providing insights to practitioners in the humanitarian health sector.critical realism, health management information systems, humanitarian organizations Armed conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters and other humanitarian crises are inherently complex, protracted situations that lead to large numbers of refugees, internally displaced and entrapped persons. In these situations, humanitarian short-term emergency responses often evolve into long-term interventions (Spiegel, 2017;Vila-Pozo & Sahay, 2018). Organizations providing aid in these complex contexts are expected to demonstrate their effectiveness and accountability to the donors and the recipients of aid. The organization's information system (IS) is a critical tool in fulfilling this demand (Lewis & Madon, 2004;Read et al., 2016), as information and communication technologies (ICTs), when embedded in a broader view of technological, social and institutional innovations, are considered a catalyst for improved health outcomes (Walsham, 2020).David Huser: The current affiliation is with BAO Systems, Washington DC as an independent contractor.
