Digitalising sustainable supply chains: a case study approach

Supply chain pressures have increased significantly in recent years, promoting business to adopt sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), whilst the growth of digitalisation presents business with the opportunity to transform performance.

We present how digitalisation supports SSCM through systematic literature review and concentrate on specific challenges for digitalisation. We present the challenges of digitalised SSCM through a longitudinal study, describing the critical success factors (CSFs) that accompany successful footwear design and manufacture
