“…However, recent economic and technological trends may have created an environment that has spawned different psychological dynamics than those in the early 20th century when the Spanish flu crisis occurred. In particular, the growing digitalization of and interactions among businesses may now provide a vehicle to maintain contacts despite measures of physical social distancing ( Mäntymäki et al, 2022 ), including business contacts with key external stakeholders such as suppliers and customers ( Qader et al, 2022 ). Hence, in our contemporary COVID-19 setting and different to the situation during the Spanish flu, the psychological immune system of many individuals and entrepreneurs seems to understand that staying in contact via digital technologies is safe if personal contact and thus the risk of infection are minimized.…”

“…It is essential to research the GSCM outcomes as a result. With regard to tackling environmental challenges and enhancing organizational sustainability to achieve a competitive advantage, GSCM has recently attracted signi cant scholarly interest (Qader et al, 2022). The more sustainable supply process known as GSCM increases customer satisfaction, integrates and coordinates company activities, decreases supply chain waste, and lowers overall total cost of operations (Bhatia & Gangwani, 2021) (Junaid et al, 2022).…”

Despite great academic interest in global green supply chain management (GSCM) practices, its effectiveness for environmental management systems (EMS) and market competitiveness during COVID-19 remains untapped. Existing literature suggests that a fundamental link between GSCM, EMS and market competitiveness is missing, as supply management is critical to maintain market competitiveness. To fill this gap in the literature, this study examines whether environmental management systems influence the link between GSCM practice and market competitiveness. We also propose the articulating role of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (BDA-AI) and environmental visibility towards these associations in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. We evaluated the proposed model using regression-based structural equation modeling (SEM) with primary data (n = 330). This result provides empirical evidence of the impact of GSCM on EMS and market competitiveness. Moreover, the results show that the BDA-AI and the environmental visibility enhanced the positive relationship between GSCM-EMS and EMS and market competitiveness. Recent research shows that supply chain professionals, policy makers, managers and researchers are turning to formal EMS, BDA-AI and environmental visibility to help their organizations achieve the competitiveness that the market indicates they need.

“…The agri-food sector is undergoing a new revolution due to modernization and the use cases of digital agri-food supply chain have made it convenient to deliver products from farm to fork. Due to technical advancements, many innovative technologies, such as the Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, blockchain, etc., had a significant impact on the emerging supply chain industry (Vishwakarma et al ., 2019; Sharma et al ., 2020; Bhatti et al ., 2021; Qader et al ., 2022; Purusottama et al ., 2022; Singh et al ., 2022; Modgil et al ., 2022). These technologies help the agri-food supply chain to speed up the processes, manage global food demand, track food origin to assess the quality and safety of food, minimize risks, maximize efficiency and manage complexity (Haji et al ., 2020; Kamble et al ., 2020; Di Vaio and Varriale, 2020; Sindhu and Kumar, 2022).…”

PurposeBlockchain technology can overcome many complicated problems related to confidentiality, integrity and availability of fast and secure distributed systems in the agri-food supply chain. In emerging economies like India, blockchain application in the agri-food supply chain is still new, and their adoption is underdeveloped. This paper aims to investigate the drivers of blockchain technology adoption and their effect on the behavioral intention of stakeholders in adopting blockchain technology among various stakeholders in the agri-food supply chain. The study also develops a framework to enhance understanding of blockchain adoption in the agri-food supply chain as well as the stakeholders' motivation in seeking blockchain solutions.Design/methodology/approachConsidering the most significant aspects of blockchain adoption in the agri-food supply chain, this study attempts to develop an adoption model by using the extended unified theory of acceptance and technology model with interfirm trust and transparency as additional factors. Data was collected from a sample of 200 stakeholders in the North Indian state of Punjab. The empirical analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling in Smart PLS3.FindingsThe findings supported the developed framework and the results of SEM indicate that all the paths are supported. In particular, the findings of the study reveal that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, interfirm trust and transparency are the drivers of blockchain adoption and have a significant impact on the behavioral intention of stakeholders. Cumulatively, the results positively impact the performance of agri-food supply chain. From this study, it is found that the adoption of blockchain technology in agri-food supply chain enhances their performance.Originality/valueThe originality of the study lies in the developed framework, technology adoption will help them focus in the right direction by eliminating manual methods and converting the agri-food supply chain into a digitalization system.
