“…These include the willingness of partner companies to share information for mutual benefits (Jharkharia & Shankar, 2005), the lack of consideration about social concerns such as child labor and personal development (Uddin et al, 2022), and the need for ethical supply chain leadership and environmental orientation to make a difference in corporate sustainability performance (Agyabeng-Mensah et al, 2023). Additionally, there is a global trend towards IT enablement of supply chains (Jharkharia & Shankar, 2004), and the emergence of ethical consumerism is reinforcing the tendency of consumers to be sensitive to supply chain transparency (Ko et al, 2022). To overcome these barriers, strategies such as promoting ethical behavior of leaders in supply chains to promote ethical values across supply chains (Agyabeng-Mensah et al, 2023), better implementation of workplace ethics to contribute positively to supply chain management (Harun et al, 2019), and the use of supply chain transparency as a signal of ethical production Ko et al (2022) can be employed.…”

In today's dynamic and interconnected global business environment, supply chain resilience has emerged as a critical factor for organizations seeking to navigate uncertainties and disruptions. This review explores the pivotal role of Information Technology (IT) in bolstering supply chain resilience on a global scale. As supply chains become increasingly complex and vulnerable to various risks, including natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and pandemics, leveraging IT capabilities becomes imperative for organizations aiming to build and sustain resilience. The review encompasses an in-depth analysis of how IT tools and systems contribute to enhancing supply chain resilience across diverse industries and geographical regions. The integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain is examined, shedding light on their transformative impact on supply chain management. These technologies enable real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and secure information sharing, empowering organizations to proactively identify risks and respond swiftly to disruptions. Furthermore, the review delves into the significance of digital platforms and cloud-based solutions in fostering collaboration and agility within supply chains. The ability to access and share critical information seamlessly among supply chain partners facilitates quick decision-making and adaptive responses to unforeseen challenges. Case studies from various global contexts provide insights into successful IT implementations that have significantly improved supply chain resilience, showcasing best practices and lessons learned. This global review underscores the indispensable role of IT in fortifying supply chain resilience. As organizations continue to grapple with an ever-evolving landscape of uncertainties, leveraging cutting-edge IT solutions emerges as a strategic imperative for building robust, adaptable, and responsive supply chains that can withstand and recover from disruptions effectively. Keywords: IT, Supply Chain, Resilience, Review, Technology.

“…Many of the casual laborers have low skill levels and the economic level is not very promising. In order to fundamentally change this issue, According to a White House briefing, the government should undertake skills training in small businesses such as hotels and retail as an incentive to help millions of low-wage workers, empowering the casual laborers themselves and strengthening their competitiveness in the marketplace [10].…”

With the deepening of economic globalization, its impact on labour law has attracted increasing attention, bringing with it both opportunities and challenges, and this article focuses on some of the issues that arise. Based on the Rana Plaza collapse case in 2013, the authors use a combination of economic and legal literature to analyse the causes and consequences of failing to address three issues: unfair treatment, supply chain expansion, and the new form of work, gig work. The study found that the causes of the three problems are strongly related to the neglect of labour rights by multinational enterprises in the pursuit of maximum profits in a globalized economy. If the world does not address this in a timely manner, it will have a significant negative impact on labour mobility and on the future of labour-enabled economic development. The paper therefore suggests that countries can achieve a healthy and sustainable workforce by strengthening international cooperation, leveraging the role of international organizations while empowering civil society trade unions, and continuously improving labour laws, thereby contributing to sustainable economic development and social justice.

Digital economy development is driving the profound revolution in omnichannel retail, yet digital technology inevitably raises privacy concerns. This paper examines the optimal pricing and service strategies for a traditional single‐channel retailer transitioning to omnichannel sales when the market has privacy issues. We construct a nonlinear constrained optimization model to discuss the retailer's optimal gains and pricing when faced with profit‐seeking and privacy‐sensitive consumers during the discount and full‐price periods. Besides, we analyze the influence of item privacy attributes and clients' profit‐seeking or strategic behavior. Several valuable findings are as follows. First, the product's privacy attributes significantly influence retailer's pricing decisions. High‐privacy value goods benefit them in the full‐price period, while common items with low‐privacy attributes are profitable in all sales periods. Second, profit‐seeking (myopic) consumers are the mainstay of the discount period, whereas privacy‐sensitive (strategic) consumers prefer to act in the full‐price period. Lastly, when supported by appropriate privacy services, the strategic actions of privacy consumers also help retailers to optimize profits.
