“…Based on a relational vision of inter-organizational competitive advantage, another study focused on empirical research of drivers and their results in integrating a low-carbon supply chain (logistics service providers (LSPs) with supply-chain integration (SCI)). The results of the study highlighted the fact that between the corporate environmental responsibility of the LSP and the environmental requirements of the clients, there are positive relationships with SCI with the low-carbon emissions of the LSP, and the latter is positively related to the financial and environmental performance of the LSP [44].…”

Big data analytics can add value and provide a new perspective by improving predictive analysis and modeling practices. This research is centered on supply-chain management and how big data analytics can help Romanian supply-chain companies assess their experience, strategies, and professional capabilities in successfully implementing big data analytics, as well as assessing the tools needed to achieve these goals, including the results of implementation and performance achievement based on them. The research method used in the quantitative study was a sampling survey, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. It included closed questions, measured with nominal and ordinal scales. A total of 205 managers provided complete and useful answers for this research. The collected data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) package using frequency tables, contingency tables, and main component analysis. The major contributions of this research highlight the fact that companies are concerned with identifying new statistical methods, tools, and approaches, such as cloud computing and security technologies, that need to be rigorously explored.

“…Focusing on the industrial environment, Le et al [9] argues that sustainability has become an important factor in competitive advantage for companies. Increasingly, society requires industries to develop sustainable practices throughout their manufacturing, supply and distribution operations [10,11]. Bask et al, Björklund and Forslund [12,13] corroborate this point of view which reinforces the need to better understand the role of sustainability in the development of logistics activities.…”

The main purpose of this article is to present an overview of the applications of sustainable practices in logistic operations performed by Brazilian companies. To reach this objective, the following steps were carried out: (1) a review of the literature on logistics systems and sustainability in logistics activities; (2) the collection of sustainability reports published by companies that perform logistics operations, which are recognized in Brazil; (3) a content analysis of the reports collected and (4) a discussion of the results, cross-checked with the literature and the extrapolation of conclusions. It was possible to identify 22 sustainable practices, and these practices were grouped into five macro areas. The authors of this paper believe that the findings presented here can be useful for professionals and researchers in the implementation of sustainability practices in logistics systems.

“…In line with this, the scope in measuring has also broaden [54,55]. Isaksson et al [21] put forward the lack of knowledge regarding the integration beyond organizational boundaries in the performance management in general as well as within sustainable supply chain management. Based on a review of the literature they suggest a framework for inter-organizational integration between logistics supplier and logistics buyer in the environmental logistics performance management process consisting of five activities:…”

“…The structure of this empirical chapter is inspired by the activities in the environmental logistics performance management process (see Isaksson et al [21]), adding aspects regarding the design of an overall measurement approach (e.g., [63]) and system limitations (e.g., [17]) to the activities relating to selecting variables and defining the metrics.…”

“…Successful environmental initiatives in buyer-supplier relations can be dependent on the environmental performance metrics collaboratively developed between buyer and supplier firms [20]. However, the findings by Persdotter Isaksson, et al [21] suggest a very low level of integration between Swedish LSPs and logistics buyers in the environmental logistics performance management (incl. measurement) process.…”

Urban consolidation centers (UCCs) are presumed to provide more efficient goods distribution in cities and lead to decreased environmental impact and energy usage. There is, however, limited knowledge as to the actual performance of UCCs, and what roles and perspectives the involved actors have in the performance measurement. The overall aim of this paper is to investigate the roles and perspectives of involved actors when estimating and evaluating the performance of UCCs. The article is based on a study of one case that evaluates the performance of a UCC involving several actors. Interviews were triangulated with documents from the case. The results showed that actors have different roles in performance measurements and even if they share a mutual interest in conducting the measurements, they did not share opinions regarding factors such as system limits or performance indicators. The study provides a deeper understanding of the importance of inter-organizational interaction when conducting performance measurements. The study provides additional insights into the roles of the actors and their perspectives in logistics performance measurement that targets energy usage and environmental impact. These aspects are seldom addressed in less complex estimations or mathematical modelling estimations.
