“…First, the research questions belong to “how” and “what” questions; a case study is suitable (Yin, 2013). The case study approach enables us to capture these issues in context (Plowman et al , 2007), and we can explore the theoretical logic behind complex phenomena (Graebner et al , 2010; Yan et al , 2022). Second, this study was conducted in the context of SCF, and scholars recommend a case study methodology to study the topics of supply chain innovation and technology adoption (Wu and Tsai, 2018; Fink et al , 2022).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of FinTech companies in SCF. The application of digital technology in supply chain activities has facilitated the evolution of supply chain finance (SCF) to a new level. However, how financial technology (FinTech) companies promote this evolution has not been thoroughly examined. Design/methodology/approach This research used the multiple-case study approach and social network analysis method to explore how FinTech companies influence SCF networks. Findings The results reveal that FinTech companies play the crucial role of a signaling intermediary by facilitating interactions among relevant parties, accelerating the flow of information and reducing information asymmetry arising from data smog. Moreover, FinTech companies make SCF information networks more equitable and promote the performance of SCF. Originality/value This study deepens the conversation at the nexus of signal theory and SCF and provides managerial implications for alleviating information asymmetry between borrowers and lenders to solve the difficulty and high-cost problems of obtaining financing of small- and medium-sized enterprises.

“…Recycle, the most commonly mentioned component in the existing definitions of CE (Kirchherr et al, 2018), focuses on processing and minimizing waste by transforming items into new production inputs (Formentini et al, 2022). CE provides numerous opportunities to recycle resources to maximize ecosystem functioning (Yan et al, 2022). Finally, the recovery component of CE focuses on the incineration of waste and materials for energy recovery (Govindan and Hasanagic, 2018).…”

“…The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/0957-4093.htm CE practices refer to implementing forward and backward loop flows among different organizations' logistics and supply chain operations (Batista et al, 2018;Yan et al, 2022). In the context of emerging economies, CE is a pertinent measure that suggests new pathways for converting traditional frameworks into circular ones (Stahel, 2013).…”

PurposeCircular economy (CE) practices are critical to achieving sustainable development goals. However, the recent global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted sustainable practices. The literature shows a significant research gap in analyzing factors that sustain CE practices in supply chains during a global disruption. This study fills the research gap by developing a mix-method approach to analyze factors for sustaining CE practices during a global disruption.Design/methodology/approachTo fulfill the objectives of this study, the list of factors that sustain CE practices was first identified by conducting a literature review and finalized through an expert opinion survey. The survey finalized 18 different factors for sustaining CE practices. The finalized factors were further analyzed using the grey decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The quantitative analysis confirmed the priority of the factors and their cause-and-effect relationships.FindingsThe results revealed that continued stakeholder pressure, retention of CE and sustainability culture, continued implementation of cleaner technology, feedback system and ongoing CE training for resilience issues are the top five factors that sustain CE practices during a global disruption. The study also revealed ten factors as belonging to the cause group and eight to the effect group.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by exploring factors for sustaining CE practices during a global disruption. Moreover, the study’s findings are important in real-life situations, as decision-makers can use the findings to formulate strategies for sustaining CE practices during future global disruptions.

This scientific output describes the weaknesses of material flows and the lack of resilience of supply chains, which resulted in the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This unpleasant situation has presented the whole of logistics with new challenges and problems, which society and industry have tried with their approach to achieving non-stagnant logistics processes, which were therefore threatened mainly by the pandemic. The article describes old but mainly new trends and innovations in logistics, distribution and supply chain, which are also the result of accelerated digital transformation.
