Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, members of the supply chain have increasingly focused on various business initiatives aimed at sustainable development. Consequently, organizations are implementing strategies to enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, control risks, and foster strong partnerships.
Collaborative business is a necessary and mandatory trend in the contemporary supply chain. Studying topics related to improving supplier relationships towards sustainability will open many potential opportunities for scholars.
Therefore, in-depth research in this field is essential to identify and understand collaborative practices, risk management, and innovative technologies adoption that can build a supply chain that is not only sustainable and reliable but also resilient and capable of adapting to changing market conditions. Moreover, it provides businesses with insights into building sustainable partnerships that enhance overall efficiency and profitability.
Our Special Issue focuses on Building a Sustainable and Reliable Supply Chain in Collaborative Business. Hence, we seek manuscripts that explore the role of innovation strategies related to help enhance collaborative business, which contribute to shaping sustainability in the supply chain.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Research on supply chain management;
- Research on sustainability in the supply chain;
- Research on collaboration in the supply chain;
- Blockchain technology;
