“…We collected data from key respondents of Pakistani manufacturing firms using survey methodology during the time between October and December of 2019. Pakistan is a developing country with its marketing and supply chain related practices still in their infancy (Business Recorder, 2013 ; Khan, 2020 ). However, increased globalization and the competitive threat of Chinese products and firms due to the imminent China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) mean that Pakistani firms are under pressure to bring their practices up to international standards (Aslam et al, 2018 ).…”

Ever increasing demand for customization and product diversity from the customers has made it important for firms to predict changes in the customer demand patterns and adopt accordingly. Customer integration allows firms to understand customers and respond to their particular needs in a better way. This study investigates the mechanisms through which customer integration is developed and affects supply chain performance. We develop a structural model underlining the role of market orientation and supply chain strategy as factors affecting the degree of customer integration. We also investigate the contingency role of marketing – supply chain integration in these relationships. We test the hypothesized model using data from Pakistani manufacturing organizations using structural equation modelling. Our results provide support for the study hypotheses except that marketing-supply chain alignment does not moderate the relationship between supply chain strategy and customer integration.

“…Practitioners are required to consider expansion in e-commerce as a new business dimension instead of a threat, along with a focus on appropriate changes in logistics and the safety of workers [6]. The findings of this study will also directly and indirectly serve the CPEC, the most important project for Pakistan [15,16], as well as for many other countries including China. The CPEC will not only bring better road infrastructure but will be a game changer in terms of new business opportunities for logistics companies.…”

“…It has made some significant progress to develop into a profitable and wellstructured industry in the last decade through infrastructure developments, such as roads, highways and better warehousing facilities [10]. In this context, a significant role has been played by the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under China's Belt and Road initiative [15]. The strategic location of the country plays a critical role in this Belt and Road initiative, and its success is linked with the development of roads, railways and highway networks, oil and gas pipelines and the transportation industry [16].…”

“…The strategic location of the country plays a critical role in this Belt and Road initiative, and its success is linked with the development of roads, railways and highway networks, oil and gas pipelines and the transportation industry [16]. The existing literature focuses on the supply chain and logistics of the country but to a limited extent [1,15,[17][18][19] and largely ignores the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 context in relation to the transportation sector, which was severely impacted. Apart from the strategic importance of CPEC in relation to transport, the supply chain and the logistics industry, certain dimensions of the supply chain and logistics in Pakistan demand exclusive and in-depth exploration of the linked phenomenon, i.e., illiteracy of the personnel working in the transportation industry and the local truck management system at stations called "Addas" without much focus on technology.…”

“…The shortage of drivers could be managed properly [34] in this way. It is also evident that technological adoption in the supply chain and logistics industry will have a positive impact on sustainability [15]. Based on the responses received, we suggest relay logistics, in which drivers carry the loaded truck for some kilometers without taking a rest.…”

Transportation and logistics are the basic building blocks in the socio-economic development of a country. The pandemic altered the landscape of the transportation and logistics sector where organizations had to look for new technology-based solutions. Block chain and digital trucking are emerging concepts, which were further accelerated by COVID-19, to manage the challenges in the transportation and supply chain industry. This study, therefore, investigates the challenges faced by the transportation industry during and post COVID-19 and, consequently, identifies relevant sustainable strategies to combat these challenges in a developing-economies context. Data were collected through interviews from 20 key personnel working in managerial positions in the transportation industry of Pakistan, a developing economy. The findings of this study indicate that the challenges faced by the transportation industry are reduced import–export, local market orders and revenues, supply limited to a few edible items, increase in e-commerce, new entrants in the market and operational issues, such as lack of standard operating procedures (SOPs), performance management and training of drivers. These challenges were more pronounced in the COVID-19 era; however, they are still impacting the industry. Thus, in the post-COVID-19 era, transportation companies need to opt for efficient strategies, such as contactless deliveries, expansion in e-commerce, tech-based performance management of drivers and digital trucking for sustainability, in a developing economy’s transportation and logistics sector.

Text mining tools are now widely used for the efficient management of information and resources in business, academic and research organizations. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of research articles on the application of text mining techniques in the field of Supply Chain Risk Management and the apparel industry. Research articles published between 2000 and 2020, were obtained from various journals through two online databases, i.e., SCOPUS and IEEE Xplore. Through a systematic approach following PRISMA guidelines, 370 research papers were screened, filtered and finally classified into three main areas: Supply Chain Risk Management and outsourcing in the apparel industry, application of text mining in Supply Chain Risk Management and application of text mining in the apparel industry. In this study, we have identified a comprehensive list of various available data sources for text mining, methodologies and risks associated with outsourcing in the apparel industry. We classify the gaps in expanding the application of text mining in the apparel industry’s Supply Chain Risk Management. Extracting useful information from online newspapers through text mining could vividly enhance the ability to monitor supply chain risks and provide the ability to link data to provide decision makers with the right information at the right time.
