“…The proposed models explored investment decisions [35], [36], [37], as well as outsourcing decisions [38]. Furthermore, [39] examined how integrating IoT can affect the quality of service of the 3PL firms in a duopoly market setting, while [40] has combined both digitalization and sustainability in its game model. This latter investigated the effectiveness of competitive sustainability services, digitalization services, and pricing decisions in a 2-tier supply chain structure of a manufacturer and a retailer.…”

The third party logistics (3PL) sector holds a crucial role in modern supply chains, streamlining the movement of goods and optimizing logistics operations. The 3PL industry's journey towards digitalization and sustainability reflects a crucial strategy to create an efficient and resilient supply chain. It is increasingly integrating Internet of Things technologies (IoT) within its operations. This latter is a cutting-edge technology widely used in the supply chain realm as it offers numerous advantages namely traceability and real-time decisionmaking capability. In view of growing concerns for the environment and the social welfare, supply chain actors are seeking to make various initiatives to shift to more sustainable practices. This paper studies the competition within an oligopolistic market of 3PL firms. Through the lens of game theory, we construct a mathematical model where a supply chain composed of n firms competes through pricing, IoT integration efforts and sustainability efforts. Results show that the IoT integration and sustainability efforts impact the pricing decisions of the firm. Moreover, this study highlights how the rivals' decisions on the IoT integration and sustainability efforts impact the firm's decision-making processes. Furthermore, a comparison of the model decision variables within a duopoly and an oligopolistic setting is conducted. This paper concludes to the significant impact of the rivals' strategies on the firm's decisions and profitability.

“…In the era of the digital economy, data has become an indispensable innovation resource [9] and a critical strategic tool for manufacturing companies [10]. This has resulted in increased decision accuracy and the creation of global value opportunities for the supply chain [11,12], as well as significant changes to most of the planning, production, sales, and supply chain [13]. Therefore, the ability to obtain, refine, analyze, and integrate data has become necessary for enterprises and supply chains to generate commercial value and enhance competitiveness [14,15].…”

In light of increasingly prominent environmental issues, inspiring green supply chain (GSC) members to engage in collaborative innovation is crucial to improve environmental performance. In this paper, in relation to a two-level GSC consisting of manufacturers and suppliers, differential equations involving the greenness of intermediate and final products as state variables are constructed considering the effect of digital capability on green innovation. Subsequently, designs for three incentive mechanisms—the greenness reward, the R&D effort reward, and the digital construction reward—are presented, and their long-term dynamic effects on the economic, environmental, and social benefits are compared and analyzed. Finally, the impacts of consumer green preference and the contribution of digital capability to the advancement of green innovation are explored. The findings show that all these incentives can boost economic, environmental, and social benefits while motivating the supplier. To achieve the best incentive effect, the reward coefficient should fall within a specific range. The digital construction reward mechanism is the most favourable in the initial stage, while the R&D effort reward mechanism is the most appropriate in the long term. The promotion effects of digital capability on green innovation and consumer green preference have the potential to enhance economic, environmental, and social performance.

“…Hence, SMEs must understand their suppliers and customers and collaborate with them effectively. An ability to collaborate with other firms is crucial, as competition is increasingly between supply chains rather than individual firms (Kumar Jena and Singhal, 2023). Accordingly SCC is seen as a valuable capability from the operational performance perspective (Pero et al ., 2010; Yu et al ., 2020), which reflects a firm's ability to manage and optimize its supply chain (Bi et al ., 2013).…”

PurposeScholars and practitioners increasingly recognize data as an important source of business opportunities, but research on the effect on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is limited. This paper empirically examines the complementary impact of SMEs' data capability and supply chain capability (SCC) and further tests the mediation effect of SCC between data capability and operational performance. The mediated effect of data capability is also moderated by competition.Design/methodology/approachThis paper analyzes longitudinal data collected from 122 manufacturing SMEs in Finland. Hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsThe results show that to benefit from the data capability, SMEs require a certain level of SCC to extract the value from the SMEs' data capability and support operational performance. Additionally, competition affects how SMEs benefit from data capability, as competitor turbulence moderates the complementary effect of data capability and SCC on operational performance.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies examining the longitudinal effect of SMEs' data and SCC on operational performance in the current competitive environment.
