“…Effective supply chain management can enhance the degree of logistics collaboration [25]. Huang et al, Wu, and Chiu focused on the internal collaboration of the supply chain, analyzed the importance of resources and information, and used collaborative methods to evaluate and improve operational efficiency [26,27]. Soylu, A et al, Sodenkamp et al, and Sun et al focused on synergy in the energy supply chain management of different enterprises, supplier selection and order allocation, rail transport and trade.…”

Logistics activities are an important source of energy consumption and environmental issues. Research conclusions and practical experience show that promoting the development of container multimodal transport is an effective way to reduce the level of carbon footprint. The key to influencing the development of container multimodal transport lies in the cooperation of all participants and links (modes of transport, transport businesses). Evaluating the synergy degree is a key step in this development process. This paper takes the whole process of container multimodal transportation as the research perspective, analyzes the operation process, and treats the process as a production system composed of four subsystems: facilities and equipment, organizational management, business operations, and information interactions. Through in-depth interviews and an analysis of the academic literature and policy documents, we establish a synergy degree evaluation index system and measurement model of container multimodal transport based on synergy theory and case studies. The research results are consistent with the actual situation. From 2015 to 2018, the synergy of container multimodal transport system of China's G port developed slowly, but generally moved in a more orderly direction.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1487 2 of 26 of cargo transportation; by 2020, the volume of port railway collection and distribution and container multimodal transport will increase significantly. Multimodal container operation is an important economic activity and plays a vital role in transportation and low-carbon development.In actual operation, logistics companies tend to choose a single mode of transport when conditions permit. The reason is that the participants and links (modes of transport, transport businesses) are not coordinated, due to the following: (1) There is a lack of effective connection between infrastructures. For example, many ports have no dedicated railway lines, which greatly increases transportation costs.(2) There is no uniform standard for equipment. The size standards of road trucks are different from the standards of railway loading units, and the conversion is very troublesome, requiring loading and unloading, resulting in increased costs. (3) The devices are not completely intelligent. The development of special railway wagons, railway dual-use trailers, and river-sea combined carriers is lagging, and the connection efficiency is low. (4) There is a lack of multimodal transport integration service providers. Due to the lack of a large logistics network platform and effective deployment, small transportation companies are blind, and there is often repeated transportation and wasting of resources. (5) Information docking and sharing are difficult. There is no uniform information exchange standard and format between enterprises, and each enterprise is an information island. In addition, there is a lack of effective connection between multiple modes of transport, and the costs of short barges, reloading, loading and unloading...

“…Taiwan, a small, resource-scarce, densely-populated island nation, has gained considerable attention due to its great influence on the global supply chain, especially in high-technology electronics products. Above 50% of the world's personal computers (PCs) are either made in Taiwan or contain an essential electronic components provided by a Taiwanese company (Wu & Chiu, 2018). Moreover, the electronics manufacturing industry in Taiwan has received numerous government grants and beneficial financing incentives, turning it into a mainstream of local economy as well as an important funding source to worldwide market participants.…”

“…Compared to multinationals and global enterprises, domestic corporates usually lack sufficient human capital, financial resources, and risk-absorbing capability, as well as are unable to quickly react to customer requirements, which could lead to higher risk exposure and tremendous uncertainty. Supply chain (SC) collaboration, which is an architecture for arranging interdependencies among operations, process/product designs, and sales forecasting/planning in order to come up with consensus strategic decisions among SC partners, has been widely deemed as an efficient and useful method for addressing the challenge of globalization and upgrading a nation's industrial level (Tan, Lyman, & Wisner, 2002;Wu & Chiu, 2018;Hu, Jianguo, & Tzeng, 2018). The rationale is that corporates highly involved in SC collaboration can facilitate knowledge sharing, create customer loyalty and value, shorten product waiting time, and increase profitability by utilizing the intertwined and interconnected network for the spread or exchange of dissimilar types of information among SC partners, including operational and tactical strategies, scarce resources, and opportunities (Narasimhan & Nair, 2005;Kim, 2014;Bhattacharjee & Cruz, 2015).…”

This study establishes a decision-making conceptual architecture that evaluates decision making units (DMUs) from numerous aspects. The architecture combines financial indicators together with a variety of data envelopment analysis (DEA) specifications to encapsulate more information to give a complete picture of a corporate’s operation. To make outcomes more accessible to non-specialists, multidimensional scaling (MDS) was performed to visualize the data. Most previous studies on forecasting model construction have relied heavily on hard information, with quite a few works taking into consideration soft information, which contains much denser and more diverse messages than hard information. To overcome this challenge, we consider two different types of soft information: supply chain influential indicator (SCI) and sentimental indicator (STI). SCI is computed by joint utilization of text mining (TM) and social network analysis (SNA), with TM identifying the corporate’s SC relationships from news articles and SNA to determining their impact on the network. STI is extracted from an accounting narrative so as to comprehensively illustrate the relationships between pervious and future performances. The analyzed outcomes are then fed into an artificial intelligence (AI)-based technique to construct the forecasting model. The introduced model, examined by real cases, is a promising alternative for performance forecasting.

“…Collaboration is a complex and multidimensional topic, and has been analysed from various perspectives, i.e., focussing on the antecedents [41][42][43], the process [16], and the outcomes of collaboration activities [44], or the relation between these elements [15,17,20,31]. An understanding of these elements is required to be able to facilitate effective collaboration activities and to capitalise the full potential of collaborative partnerships [16,17,41].…”

The complex sustainability challenges that society faces require organisations to engage in collaborative partnerships. Stakeholders affect, and are affected by an organisation’s sustainability activities, making it an important element when deciding with whom to collaborate. A large number of studies have focussed on collaboration for sustainability, especially on vertical and dyadic partnerships and collaborative networks, while there is limited research on overarching collaboration activities from the perspective of individual organisations (for example, the Kyosei approach), and even less that includes a stakeholder perspective. The objective of this paper is to analyse with whom individual organisations collaborate and how stakeholders affecting and being affected by sustainability efforts are considered when choosing collaboration partners. A survey was sent to a database of 5216 organisations, from which 271 responses were received. The responses were analysed using non-parametric tests. The results show that organisations are engaged in collaboration activities for sustainability, collaborating mostly with two to three external stakeholders. However, the focus on collaboration for sustainability does not extend to a point that it would lead to a change of organisational practice nor do organisations necessarily consider how stakeholders affect and are affected by their efforts when choosing their collaboration partners. An update to the Kyosei process is proposed, in order to provide guidance on how to strengthen and extend collaborative partnerships for sustainability.
