“…Following the above school and author results, country concentration continues to decrease at a linear rate (r 2 fit of 0.807). This matches the previous edition as well as feedback from the journal editors regarding the increasing internationalization of contributors (Swanson & Suzuki, 2021;Wong, 2021). Authors from 39 different countries published in the journals in 2022, again triple from the onset of the analysis in 1992.…”

“…Many of the journals are now celebrating noteworthy anniversaries, including 60 years for the Transportation Journal (TJ) and 50 years for the International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management (IJPDLM) (Swanson & Suzuki, 2021; Wong, 2021). Although the journals have progressed in stride with the evolution of supply chain, the titles of most have largely stayed the same.…”

This article continues the longest‐standing evaluation of publication productivity in the academic field of supply chain with the combined series spanning 55 years. In this edition, we update the schools and individual scholars producing the most supply chain publications from 2020 to 2022. Despite a new top‐ranked school, the top 10 list remains largely consistent with previous editions, as does the core set of top supply chain doctoral programs. In contrast, the list of the remaining top 25 schools continues to change and includes more international (i.e., non‐U.S.) schools. Additionally, the barriers to entry to become a strong supply chain research school are lower than in the past, while author concentration analyses confirm that the supply chain scholarly field has become more dispersed. Combined, the results support not only highly productive authors and schools with recognition and resource requests but also aspiring authors and schools with their research paths and benchmarking. We voice concerns, however, about both the supply of new supply chain scholars and the decreasing authorship of industry practitioners that had been a staple of our applied field. As a further contribution, we organize the most frequent keywords since 2020 to help scholars identify contemporary and understudied topics.

“…In addition to the sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring capabilities, we also coded the performance outcomes of DPT. During the coding phase, we only extracted outcomes that were backed up with at least some evidence, thus leaving out references to outcomes that were only expected so as to mitigate the risk that “subsequent literature reviews all assume that the performance claim is true” (Wong, 2021, p. 201). As illustrated in Table 1, only a few papers presented proven performance outcomes, which we further clustered into efficiency and effectiveness.…”

“…This paper aims to synthesize previous research findings on procurement digitalization through a systematic literature review (SLR) in order to develop a fine-grained conceptual model that supports practitioners and researchers alike in better understanding the transformative impact of procurement digitalization, the potential gains firms can expect from DPT, as well as the capabilities required to strategize about procurement digitalization. We aim to contextualize DCT to integrate the fragmented body of literature on procurement digitalization (Durach et al, 2021), thereby enhancing knowledge on this specific and emerging domain (Wong, 2021), and provide a structured approach to future research. The following research questions were formulated:…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to achieve a collective understanding of the capabilities required for digital procurement transformation (DPT).Design/methodology/approachThe authors contextualize theory about dynamic capabilities (DCs) to integrate the fragmented body of literature on procurement digitalization by means of a systematic literature review (SLR). By extracting and clustering capabilities, as well as proven performance outcomes from existing literature in the field, the authors develop a conceptual model of the DCs required for DPT.FindingsThe authors first introduce and define DPT and the corresponding motivations that trigger firms to invest in advanced digital technologies. Second, by adopting the DC lens, the authors provide an overview of nine microfoundations required for DPT and highlight the strategic options procurement leaders can use when strategizing about adopting combinations of digital technologies. Third, the authors present a future research agenda on DCs for DPT.Research limitations/implicationsThe developed conceptual model must be verified and enhanced through further empirical research.Practical implicationsThe conceptual model can be used by procurement leaders as a starting point and framework when strategizing about digitally transforming the procurement organization.Originality/valueThe study is the first to synthesize previous research findings on procurement digitalization through an SLR in order to develop a fine-grained conceptual model that supports practitioners and researchers alike in better understanding the capabilities required for and potential performance outcomes of DPT.

“…The core of collaborative research, including engaged scholarship, is that researchers and practitioners work together to contribute jointly to knowledge about a problem of common interest (Van De Ven and Johnson, 2006). In logistics and supply chain management, Wong (2021) encouraged engaged scholarship to advance theory and practice, and van Hoek (2021) called for engaged scholarship to foster the managerial relevance of research. Contemporary challenges in logistics and supply chain management call for research to be a driver of innovation and change (Touboulic et al.…”

PurposeThe success of last-mile delivery is dependent on consumer acceptance of such services, yet little is known about unattended delivery experience. This paper's purpose is to provide empirically based understanding of customer experience dimensions in unattended home delivery.Design/methodology/approachUsing an engaged scholarship approach, this field study investigated nine households that actively used an unattended delivery service for a period of six to nine months. Empirical data were collected primarily from in-depth interviews.FindingsThe study demonstrates that unattended delivery experience is a multidimensional construct that comprises consumers' cognitive, emotional, behavioral, sensorial, physical and social responses to the service. The empirical evidence provides rich descriptions of each customer experience dimension, and the research offers a framework and propositions on unattended delivery experience.Practical implicationsThe results guide and support managers in assessing and developing delivery services using a consumer-centric approach to enhance customer experience.Originality/valueThis research is one of the first to address unattended delivery experience by providing a comprehensive, empirically grounded framework. The results provide a foundation for future investigations of last-mile delivery experience dimensions.
