“…Companies have also sought ways to minimize their dependence on long global supply chains and to rely instead on the localized sourcing of suppliers near their operational centers [75,76]. This approach exemplifies the 'Great Reset', which involves recalibrating current systems to enhance resilience, sustainability, and flexibility [77,78].…”

This qualitative study employs a thematic network analysis of the literature to explore the implications and evaluations of the ‘Great Reset’. Delving into how complexity theory, especially the principles related to complex systems and coordination, can be applied, this research aims to promote resilience and facilitate comprehensive systemic transformation. This study identifies critical ‘Great Reset’ components that align or conflict with stakeholders’ needs, objectives, and capabilities by examining how diverse stakeholders function within intricate and interconnected systems.

The available studies on vulnerability evaluation of Supply Chain Networks (SCNs) oversimplify the availability of entities during disruptive events by classifying them into only two categories of “operational” and “not operational.” Yet, the literature has remained relatively silent on vulnerability analysis of SCNs in the case of capacity reduction. To sidestep this shortcoming, this paper develops an entropy-based method to quantify the vulnerability of SCNs to capacity reduction. This is achieved by measuring the flexibility inherent within the layout of SCNs, both at local and global levels. By performing simulation and sensitivity analyses, this paper predicts the impact of capacity reductions on the performance of SCNs. The results of our study favor the fact that incorporating more backups and increasing the capacity of various entities in the network reduces vulnerability and enhances the robustness of SCNs. The findings of this research may assist operations and supply chain managers in identifying the sensitive areas of SCNs, in turn facilitating the development of an effective risk management strategy to respond to disruptive events.

In the era of digital transformation, businesses must innovate and adapt to sustain a competitive edge. This dynamic environment compels a reevaluation of traditional management practices, highlighting the need for highly flexible systems. Flexibility, defined as the ability to adapt organizational resources, processes, and strategies in response to environmental changes such as rapid technological advancements, is crucial. Our systematic review of 47 studies investigates how digital transformation influences performance measurement systems across various industries and global contexts. We found that digital transformation fosters the dynamism and adaptability of these systems. This study integrates strategic, organizational, and information systems flexibility concepts that are essential for effective adaptation and resilience. Our findings underscore the shifts towards decision-making agility, inclusivity, and sustainability, stressing the significant role of human resources in adapting to digital imperatives. We advocate for a comprehensive approach that fosters digital literacy, upholds ethical standards, promotes continuous skill development, and enhances strategic adaptability. Practical implications suggest integrating digital technologies into performance strategies, utilizing real-time metrics for agile decision-making and emphasizing ethical and sustainable practices to improve transparency and stakeholder trust. These strategies are crucial for optimizing performance in the digital age.
