Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, many products consumed around the world are not sustainable. Most of these products come from retailing, and a review of the literature finds various ways to be more sustainable. However, it is essential to promote sustainability at all stages, from resources extraction to the final product, and so it is necessary to proceed to the study of retailing as the main basis for promoting sustainability. As a starting point, we encourage publications that focus on methodologies that manage a large amount of data, such as artificial neural networks and the intensive use of big data.
