“…Interoperability was identified in RQ2 as one of the most important challenges in the digitalization processes in global logistics [82][83][84]. Interoperability in ports is a complex challenge that involves the ability of different systems, equipment, and processes to work together efficiently and effectively to ensure the continuous flow of cargo and goods.…”

Digital transformation plays a significant role in modernizing and improving the efficiency of ports around the world. However, digitalization also brings a set of challenges that ports must face. They have to respond to several unique challenges because of the complexity of their operations and the varying demands of stakeholders. This study seeks to identify and summarize the challenges of digital transformation processes in ports. For this purpose, the World Ports Sustainability Program database was used. The findings revealed 74 digitalization initiatives carried out by ports, which makes it possible to recognize 7 dimensions and 32 sub-dimensions of challenges to the digital transformation process. Among the identified dimensions are port infrastructure, the interconnection between various systems, the port organization model, regulation, security and privacy, market evolution, and the establishment of partnerships to implement these projects. The results of this study are relevant to mitigate the risks of the digitalization process in ports and respond to market needs that demand greater transparency and visibility of their operations.

This research aims to explore the complex interplay between supply chain resilience (SCR), digital supply chain (DSC), and sustainability, focusing on the moderating influence of supply chain dynamism. The goal is to understand how these elements interact within the framework of contemporary supply chain management and how they collectively contribute to enhancing sustainability outcomes. The sample size is 300 CEOs and managers. The study approach integrates quantitative research methods. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to quantitatively analyze the direct and indirect effects of SCR and DSC on sustainability. The numerous surveys we conduct among supply chain ecosystem stakeholders provide a rich picture of practical implications and contextual nuances. In sum, our early findings generally support a positive relationship between SCR and sustainability in and of itself, declaring the need for more resilient supply networks for sustainability. We further find the beneficial impact of digital technologies in promoting sustainability via enhancing environmental control and controlling for efficiency in supply chains. We also offer evidence to show that supply chain dynamism compounds the positive logic between SCR and DSC and sustainability. As a final word, it must be noted that our work speaks to the burgeoning literature on supply chain dynamism as a moderator by examining the direct and contingent effects of SCR and DSC not only on performance but sustainability. By shedding light on the moderating role of dynamism, the study provides fresh insights into the multifaceted nature of supply chain management and sustainability practices. The study’s findings enhance theoretical understanding by elucidating the synergistic effects of SCR, DSC, and sustainability in dynamic supply chain settings. The study augments the existing theoretical frameworks by integrating the concepts of resilience, digitalization, and sustainability into a comprehensive model. Practical and economical, the research offers actionable guidance for organizations aiming to improve sustainability performance through resilient and digitally advanced supply chains. By acknowledging the role of supply chain dynamism, managers can tailor strategies to manage disruptions effectively and leverage digital innovations. Economically, adopting sustainable practices can result in cost savings and competitive advantages. The research emphasizes the importance of aligning supply chain strategies with sustainability goals to drive long-term value and societal impact.

The introduction of Industry 4.0, which includes a suite of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cyber-physical systems, has substantially altered supply chain dynamics in recent years. Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 have emerged as pivotal paradigms reshaping the landscape of supply chain management (SCM) across industries. This study begins with an overview of classic SCM concepts and progresses to the contemporary digital era. We investigate the fundamental principles of digital transformation in SCM, emphasizing its drivers and accompanying benefits. Following that, this study delves into small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and discusses their integration inside SCM systems. Through a systematic analysis of literature and case studies, this review synthesizes key methodologies, challenges, and opportunities. It highlights the importance of tailored approaches encompassing technology adoption roadmaps, pilot projects, workforce upskilling, and cyber security measures. The review also underscores the critical role of future research in developing standardized frameworks and best practices to empower SMEs in harnessing the transformative potential of the digital age within their supply chains. This study also discusses digital transformation initiatives, their impact on SCM performance, and their role in improving supply chain resilience. Finally, this research article investigates the obstacles and barriers faced during digital transformation programs, as well as future trends and consequences for practitioners and researchers.
