Relational Approaches Related to Digital Supply Chain Management Consolidation

Abstract

This study provides a specific theoretical–applicative approach, of economic content, containing information and reference data in a logical and relational structure centered on aspects deemed suitable for enhancing the digital performance of the current supply chain management. The objective of the study is to correlate as closely as possible the theoretical scientific content with the practical side, with an emphasis on modernity. This objective led to the scientific interpretation, from a methodological perspective, of a relevant approach that proposes the analysis of several mathematical relationships and a case study that justifies the significance of the essential characteristics in ensuring the viability and resilience of the digitally consolidated Supply Chain Management. The work is particularly of interest and utility to entrepreneurs and managers involved in the construction and effective administration of (already digital) supply chain management, which is undergoing continual digital transformation and consolidation. In addition, this research will enhance the number of specialized sources that may be used for future research in this topic’s area of interest.

Supply Chain Leadership in Crisis: The Military Model for Resilience

“…The theory also identifies the antecedents, dimensions, and outcomes of supply chain resilience, as well as the factors that influence its development and implementation. This theory helps to understand the challenges and opportunities for civilian supply chain leaders to enhance their resilience and effectiveness during crises, as well as the best practices and strategies that can be learned from the military model (Minculete et al, 2022).…”

“…Enhancing our deployment capabilities through investments, in cutting edge technologies such as AI and blockchain effectively utilizing networks, and embracing processes are essential. These approaches, rooted in resource oriented theory and military principles empower leaders to promptly address challenges while ensuring both quality and cost efficiency (Minculete et al, 2022). A military leader highlighted the importance of leveraging technologies for inventory tracking and transportation management supported by a network of partners who facilitate operations (Smith, 2021, p.16).…”

“…Drawing from the multifaceted nature of these challenges, this chapter employs a qualitative research method based on the necessity for the viability and resilience of digitally consolidated SCM. This research is particularly useful for entrepreneurs and managers involved in the construction and administration of digital SCM, which is continually undergoing digital transformation and consolidation (Minculete et al, 2022).…”

Measuring Supply Chain Performance from ESG Perspective

“…At the level of organisations, economic and financial performance measurement is abundant, but there are gaps in ESG measurement at the CS level [24]. Therefore, we believe that a new proposal to measure the most common indicators at the SC level using ESG elements would be useful to help investors interested in investing in companies, as well as strategic managers seeking to improve supply chain performance through an ESG perspective [25].…”
