“…That is, differences in the impacts of indicators on sustainability are different among major FSC participants in the WB region during the COVID-19 pandemic. The finding confirms the results of previous research on the significance of differences between business activities within the FSC [33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…The conducted research shows a different influence of the given indicators on the food placement among FSC participants. This is also an expected result, given recent research [33][34][35][36][37][38]41] that highlights the strong correlation of differences in FSC business sectors with placement efficiency. In this context, energy consumption comes to the fore in production, which has no statistically significant impact in retail, but rather the changing needs of consumers.…”

This work aims to define the impact of different indicators on the sustainability of food placement in the retail sector, during periods of crisis and emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. An empirical survey conducted in the Western Balkans (WB) region showed that indicators such as developed infrastructure, consistency, and transparency of the supply chain, skilled workers, costs, food safety, food prices, energy consumption, and changes in consumer needs are statistically significant since they affect the sustainability of food placement in the retail sector. As food placement and the retail sector itself are inseparable from other participants in the food supply chain (FSC), an analysis was conducted at the level of all FSC sectors. The results showed some deviations viewed individually in the sectors of production, physical distribution, wholesale, and retail, and in selected Western Balkan countries. Based on the results obtained, the sustainability model of food placement in the retail sector has been defined. The model will serve as the basis for defining the set of measures and incentives that competent institutions and FSC management need to undertake, to minimize the impact of indicators that endanger sustainability. The originality of the study lies in the fact that it fills the research gap that exists in this subject matter in academic research and studies in the WB region. In addition, some indicators important for food placement have been precisely isolated, with the definition of the intensity of their impact, observed overall at the level of the entire FSC as well as by individual sectors. Guidelines and suggestions for future research are listed in the paper.

“…The business performance (profitability) of the supply chain was chosen as the dependent variable. Authors (Wang, Chaudhry, Li, & Li, 2016;Gubbi, Buyya, Marusic, & Palaniswami, 2013;Končar, Vučenović, & Marić, 2020;Granjal, Monteiro, & Sá Silva, 2015;Bedekar;Luthra, Garg, Mangla, & Berwal, 2018;Al-Fuqaha, Guizani, Mohammadi, Aledhari, & Ayyash, 2015;Whitmore, Agarwal, & Da Xu, 2015) list the following indicators as constraints or barriers: 1) lack of awareness about the importance of digitalization, 2) changes in the business model, 3) lack of financial resources, 4) underdeveloped infrastructure, 5) lack of qualified workforce, 6) user security, 7) standardization and lack of legislation. Ranked indicators of advantages include: 1) integrated planning of production, transportation and distribution, 2) inventory level optimization, 3) lower transportation costs, 4) reduced errors and product returns upon delivery, 5) better utilization of warehouse capacity, 6) monitoring quality parameters and storage and handling safety conditions of products (Attaran, 2020;Abdel-Basset, Manogaran, Mohamed, & Gunasekaran, 2018).…”

By using modern technologies, traditional supply chains are transformed into smart ones that need to face challenges in the digital era. Traditional supply chains exhibit numerous shortcomings in terms of security, safety, visibility, losses, delays. To tackle these challenges, companies need to apply the latest technological advancements. Technological innovations such as the Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Blockchain and others guide organizations towards the digitization of supply chains, making them sustainable, flexible and efficient. Despite the numerous benefits they bring, companies encounter obstacles in implementing new technologies, particularly regarding security risks in information exchange. The aim of this paper is to review relevant literature and demonstrate which digital technologies are significant for supply chain management and how these technologies have led to optimizing operational costs, performance, profits, and growing needs of customers. Additionally, it will explain how companies can enhance the process of information exchange as a key component of supply chain management. The paper will present the current state of digitalization of the supply chain in the Republic of Serbia. It will identify indicators of limitations for implementing digital solutions and present measures and guidelines for further development. The paper should provide guidelines for further theoretical and empirical research.

“…While these were external risks and subsequent benefits that transparent supply chains could bring, there are numerous internal risks as well which can be mitigated by increasing transparency in the supply chains (Končar et al, 2020b). Implementation of transparency in supply chains would improve their operational efficiency (Bateman and Bonanni, 2019), reduce the risk of thefts and adultery (Francisco and Swanson, 2018), and thereby increase their resilience at difficult times (Gunasekaran et al, 2015).…”

“…came to the fore, which will help make the supply chains resilient and help gain a competitive advantage (Bag et al, 2021b). During the COVID-19 period, implementing a transparent supply chain becomes more important for the companies because of many reasons -improved visibility into lower-tier suppliers (Alicke et al, 2020), better tracking of logistics, ability to ensure safety and signal the same to customers (Končar et al, 2020b), proper monitoring of the health status of the employees (Outhwaite and Martin-Ortega, 2019) and so on. Some companies have already implemented supply chain visibility, amongst other measures, to mitigate the challenges introduced by COVID-19 (Butt, 2021).…”

Transparent supply chains have slowly gained prominence because of their utility in resolving sustainability concerns and improving operational efficiency and decision making. It requires companies to know more about their upstream chain and communicate it to their internal and external stakeholders. This in turn helps build resilience into the supply chains, making response quicker in the face of disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite both the necessity and obligation, companies are struggling with implementing a transparent supply chain because of unclear reasons. In this paper, we identify and model those barriers in implementing transparent supply chains. Results suggest that customer privacy drives other barriers in the system and hence should be given adequate importance while forming the data pipeline for transparent supply chains. Vague short-term ROI, low technology adoption, and underdeveloped infrastructure also emerged as critical barriers that managers should carefully mitigate while implementing transparency in supply chains.
