“…In a GSC implementation, ICTs have been identified as one of the main forces when it comes to facilitating the process of obtaining social, economic and operative benefits [26]. Nevertheless, we must not forget that the aim of a GSC must be to subject all of an organizations' activities to strict environmental demands and technological innovations in its processes and products, with the objective of maximizing the growth of its income, investment and corporate image [21].…”

“…The return on investment also increases thanks to innovation in procedures, as do sales. The EI and ICTs have served to demonstrate the importance of SCs, GSCs and updating of ICTs has also been identified as a key factor in order to achieve environmental sustainability as they facilitate: information line-up and planning, organizational environmental practices, the capacity to improve and allow for an effective compliance with environmental requirements [26]. Having taken the above into consideration, the following hypothesis is proposed:…”

“…This is because one complements the other, which is validated via H 1 , as the greatest and most significant direct effect in the entire model, since keeping ICTs integrated and updated provides a platform that helps companies to exchange knowledge, align processes and achieve operational flexibility. Furthermore, the integration of ICT affects the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes within and beyond the boundaries of the organization and updated ICTs become an important advantage that is reflected in the efficiency of operations performance [26,56].…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its technological updates on the success of the green supply chain (GSC) implementation, as well as the benefits this affords. This research is applied to the Mexican maquiladora export industry. A model of structural equations is presented to know the importance of the integration of ICT, combined with the implementation of GSC and the generation of benefits with the use of ICT. The results indicate that there is a direct, positive effect (PE) and significant among the four latent variables (LTV) analyzed but the most noteworthy is the indirect effect that the variable updating the ICT has on the benefits of GSC, through the variable mediators' implementation of a GSC, since the direct effect of updating the ICT on the benefits of the implementation of GSC does not become significant. Whereby, it is recommended that the industry integrates and updates its ICT since, using the integrated and updated ICT and the implementation of a GSC, a series of economic, productive and environmental benefits will be created.

Food systems include dynamic and complex networks made up of all the actors, processes, and infrastructures, as well as their interactions. Because of the growing supply chain's (SC) vulnerability, fragility, and operational disturbances, managing disruptions has become a crucial problem in the food SC. Thus, companies aim to improve their resilience to deal with unexpected conditions. Thus, this study aims to analyze and frame the food SC's resilience, sustainability, and smartness considering different causal conditions (e.g., digital technology adaption, providing traceability, and enhancing collaboration). This study also analyzes the numerous and complex linkages between outcome and causal variables. Thus, this study includes data on the food industry operating in Turkey. The Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis has been used to analyze different companies' data. SC resilience performance conditions have been determined and analyzed. According to the result of this study, it can be said that enhanced flexibility structure and adaptability skills in the SC, increased IT capability, and integration of digital technologies into the SC process are the key components for achieving high SC resilience, sustainability, and smartness in the food SCs. This study suggests various implications for policymakers and managers in the food SCs.

Sustainable supply chains (SSC) are an essential topic in emerging economies for achieving sustainable development. Because of their rapid economic growth, emerging economies are experiencing both sides of this development: the well‐being enhancement and the environmental impact. However, decision makers and practitioners do not have robust models for managing supply networks that consider the sustainability complexities. This study aims to provide a better understanding of SSC in emerging economies and proposes a generic framework to improve the decision‐making process. Based on a review of the literature, a decision framework for sustainability is proposed. A green sustainable decision concept is also discussed in the SSC literature. This study has implications for scholars, decision makers, and practitioners interested in advancing the SSC field based on an extension of the framework.
