“…For some, it is inevitable for socio-economic development, and for others, it is an unjust system with negative consequences. Antiglobalists argue that globalization brings the only outcome, which was discussed by different researchers with respect to the labor force [32,33], environment and pollution, especially in China [34], human rights [35][36][37], and injustice [38] in general. In the same line, it has been recorded that "sweatshops" were created, which has wiped out all labor and even human rights.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way business is conducted. The widespread closure of commercial organizations presents opportunities to reset the way business activities are conducted. Regardless of the organization’s size or its status as a domestic or international firm, due diligence is required to find solutions that will allow firms to sustain their business activities in uncertain times. This study addresses this issue and attempts to identify issues that require urgent attention so that organizations can be effective and efficient in their global operations. In this context, the study proposes three imperatives for global/international businesses to sustain their operations in the long term. These imperatives include having a strong reserve fund, access to a local mutual fund, and networking to form alliances in host countries. Other implications are discussed, and we identify areas for future research.

“…Parsa, Roper, Muller-Camen, and Szigetvari [24] used case studies to find improved labor rights and their impact on the supply chain from a supplier's perspective. In contrast, Sendlhofer and Lernborg [25] classified labor rights based on the perception of suppliers in South Asian countries. Others have demonstrated the organization's commitment to management, occupational safety, health management, wages, education and training, labor relations, worker welfare, research and development, ethics, and children and slavery and their role in sustainable supply chains [26].…”

The industry is gradually forced to integrate socially sustainable development practices and cross-social issues. Although researchers and practitioners emphasize environmental and economic sustainability in supply chain management (SCM). This is unfortunate because not only social sustainable development plays an important role in promoting other sustainable development programs, but social injustice at one level in the supply chain may also cause significant losses to companies throughout the chain. This article aimed to consolidate the literature on the responsibilities of suppliers, manufacturers, and customers and to adopt sustainable supply chain management (SSSCM) practices in the Pakistani industry to identify all possible aspects of sustainable social development in the supply chain by investigating the relationship between survey variables and structure. This work went beyond the limits of regulations and showed the status of maintaining sustainable social issues. Based on semi-structured interviews, a comprehensive questionnaire was developed. The data was collected through a survey of the head of the supply chain in Karachi, Pakistan. The results of this paper showed that organizational learning was the most important dimension of supplier social sustainability with a value of 40.5% as compared to the effectiveness of the supply chain and the supplier performance with values 37.7 and 9.6%, respectively. In terms of the manufacturer’s social responsibility, the highest score for operational performance was 47%, while productivity was 20%, and corporate social demonstration was 20%. Finally, for the customers’ social sustainability, two dimensions were determined, namely, customer satisfaction and customer commitment with scores of 47 and 40%, respectively. We also solved sustainable social problems from the perspective of suppliers, manufacturers, and customers. The study would help professionals anywhere to emphasize their considerations and would improve the management of social sustainability in their supply chain.

“…Die Logistik gehört zu den innovativsten Branchen weltweit und ist Vorreiter für Digitalisierungsprozesse in vielen Wertschöpfungsketten. Dies trägt nicht nur dazu bei, Liefernde, Produzierende, Logistikdienstleistende sowie Kundinnen und Kunden zu verbinden und effizienter zu koordinieren, sondern hat auch grundlegende Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitsorganisation (Klumpp & Ruiner, 2018;Sendlhofer & Lernborg, 2018;Vanderroost et al, 2017). Aus organisationaler Perspektive gehen damit insbesondere digitale Verbesserungen zum Ausbau der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit durch eine effizientere Organisation von Logistikprozessen, eine Reduktion der Produktions-und Lieferzeiten sowie Qualitätsverbesserungen für Kundinnen und Kunden durch Transparenz und auf Ertragssteigerungen ausgerichtete individualisierte Produkte einher (Wieland, Handfield, & Durach, 2016;Yu, Cadeaux, & Song, 2017).…”

“…Dies betrifft insbesondere die neuartigen Konzepte Physical Internet und Internet der Dinge (Ballot, Montreuil, & Meller, 2014;Montreuil, 2011;Phan, Ballot, Huang, & Montreuil, 2017;Sternberg & Norrman, 2017). Bei diesen umfassenden Automatisierungskonzepten ist für die Arbeitskräfte von einer tiefgreifenden Veränderung der Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsanforderungen auszugehen (Cantor, 2016;Richert, Müller, Schröder, & Jeschke, 2017;Sendlhofer & Lernborg, 2018). Die Beispiele von Uber und Uber Freight können angeführt werden, um zu verdeutlichen, welche Veränderungen durch Digitalisierung in den Kooperationsanforderungen und Motivationssettings der Arbeitskräfte entstehen (Chan & Humphreys, 2018;DeBruyne, 2017;Lee, Kusbit, Metsky, & Dabbish, 2015;Malin & Chandler, 2017;Rosenblat & Stark, 2016).…”

Die Logistik als globale innovative Branche erfährt grundlegende Veränderungen durch die fortschreitende Digitalisierung. Es bilden sich neue Geschäftsmodelle heraus und die Arbeitsorganisation wandelt sich. Arbeitsprozesse können digital und transparent erfasst und kontrolliert werden. Der Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkungen dieser technologischen Veränderungen auf Logistikmitarbeitende und deren Arbeitsbeziehungen. Ziel ist es, die Digitalisierung in der urbanen Lebensmittellogistik in Hinblick auf die Wahrnehmung von Autonomie und Kontrolle aus Perspektive der Arbeitskräfte ebenso zu analysieren wie die Effekte, die daraus für die Ausgestaltung der Arbeitsbeziehungen resultieren. Zur Analyse wird auf eine qualitative Studie mit Berufskraftfahrenden sowie Kurierfahrenden in der urbanen Lebensmittellogistik zurückgegriffen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich im Alltag die Gleichzeitigkeit von Autonomie und Kontrolle, die auf die Einbindung von neuen Technologien in die Arbeitsorganisation sowie die Rolle von Führungskräften zurückgeführt werden kann. Schließlich werden Erfordernisse an Digitalisierungsprozesse festgehalten.
