“…In terms of SCR, our study indicates a more robust development compared to GSCM, which echoes the findings of [79] that underline the importance of resilience and agility in supply chains post-COVID-19. It appears that firms, irrespective of location, are giving precedence to resilience, potentially due to recent global disruptions.…”

The logistics sector is undergoing a sustainable and resilient transformation guided by the concepts of green supply chain management (GSCM) and supply chain resilience (SCR). While the existing literature posits ICT technologies as individual enablers that enhance organizational performance in areas like sustainable operations, resource economization and organizational resilience, a gap remains in comprehending the nuanced role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in linking GSCM and SCR outcomes. This research delves into how top management perceives the alignment of ICT adoption with GSCM and SCR objectives within logistics firms. Data were gathered from 53 managers in Greek logistics firms. After utilizing factor analysis, the findings indicate that (1) a significant correlation exists between GSCM/SCR states and ICT adoption; (2) firms with higher ICT adoption rates more effectively address GSCM and SCR challenges; and (3) notably, larger firms with more resources have a slight edge over smaller counterparts with less focus on ICT. Policymakers and industry leaders in the logistics sector can leverage these insights to prioritize ICT-related initiatives, especially in regions with similar contexts to Greece.

“…[103] Additionally, the investigated literature referred to agility as the ability to quickly adapt the organizational structure and operations policy as a consequence of turbulent change [100] and the collaboration of stakeholders to respond quickly to changing environments and accredit with new capabilities. [104] Key features associated to supply chain agility were speed and supply chain visibility, [102,103,105] and adaptive capacity. [100] Because the critical role of collaboration between the companies and with other entities participating in the value creation process is recognized, under COVID-19, emergency collaboration and communication have been widely promoted.…”

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the healthcare system and the global supply chain were exposed to an unpredicted event, which increased awareness about the need of more effective strategies to support decision‐making process and to empower safety barriers. In this work, a combined scientometric and systematic review was performed to analyze tools and methodologies able to combine resilience with more traditional risk assessment, learning from the experience posed by the COVID‐19 crisis. Bibliometric and literature content analyses were carried out focusing on resilience management upon the incoming of an unexpected event. The systematic analysis of the methods and models developed on the basis of different pandemic waves provides a natural guide for future research development.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been one of the most cursed pandemics faced by human civilization. A whopping 94% of Fortune 1,000 companies experienced catastrophic disruptions in their supply chains due to COVID-19 (Ivanov, 2020). In the last two decades, researchers have deliberated on various facets of supply chain risk management, including risk identification, assessment, mitigation and monitoring. While building resilience has been propounded to manage supply chain risks, COVID-19 proved beyond any doubt that traditional strategies like agility, robustness, flexibility, redundant capacity and surplus inventory are necessary but not sufficient to cope with such a global pandemic. While resilience augments the ability of a supply chain to withstand and recover from disruptions, sustainability ensures the long-term continuity of business by addressing environmental, economic and social needs (Sarkis et al., 2020). Therefore, combining resilience with sustainability is going to be a key to success in a dynamic business environment. COVID-19 has presented a unique opportunity for supply chain researchers and practitioners to reevaluate supply chain resilience in order to adapt to the new normal.Many companies depend on global supply chains following "Lean" and "Just in Time" principles along with sustainable practices. As the global supply chain extends beyond the geographic boundary of a country, tier-2 or tier-3 suppliers are often located offshore. While this works perfectly in a stable business environment, disruption caused by a pandemic can cause havoc unless complete supply chain mapping is done. This mapping helps in identifying vulnerable nodes in the supply chain through simulated stress testing. Moreover, there have been some behavioral changes among consumers post-COVID-19, changing the demand pattern for healthcare (masks, personal protective equipment etc.) and many other products. Therefore, procurement strategies and supplier selection methodologies should also change to meet the vagary of demand. It may be plausible to blend "Localization" with "Globalization" and practice "Glocalization" as suggested by Sarkis et al. (2020). Developing supply chains with flexible manufacturing and supply network should be adopted as a proactive strategy for supply chain resilience. Thus, the relationship between resilience and sustainability needs to be reflected and deliberated in supply chain literature with renewed vigor. Questions should be asked: Is resilience a precursor to sustainability? Should there be a trade-off between resilience and sustainability?Another important aspect that needs greater attention in the post-pandemic era is social sustainability (Majumdar et al., 2020). Incorporating social considerations in decision-making is going to be decisive for building resilience in sustainable supply chains. The extant literature establishes that a strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy can improve supply chain resilience by building trust and reputation, thereby fostering a...
