Global warming climate change and social problems are the worst human-induced sustainability issues that economies across the globe have witnessed. Water pollution greenhouse effect poor working conditions child labour and lack of coordination among channel partners have caused the considerable interruptions in the supply chain network. The purpose of the paper is to identify critical factors affecting behavioural and sustainable supply chain coordination and evaluate strategies for risk reduction in the supply chain coordination in the context of digitization. This study purposes a novel supply chain coordination framework which consists of four themes such as system actor objective and action on which the success or the failure of supply chain can be contingent. Our study integrates multi-criteria decision approach using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) and Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (Fuzzy-DEMATEL) to investigate factors that affected the behavioural and sustainable supply chain coordination in the context of digitization. The Fuzzy-AHP method qualified to hierarchically rank the factors based on the relative fuzzy weightage while Fuzzy-DEMATEL established the inter-relationships among the factors and classified them into cause and effect groups. The findings of our study identified the Environmental performance and decarbonization as the most significant factor and the speed to market as the least important factor in developing behavioural and sustainable supply chain coordination in the context of digitization. Our analysis from Fuzzy AHP-DEMATEL approach reveal that the social preferences (power balance reciprocity fairness) is a significant causal factor which can effectively abolish the issues plaguing behavioural and sustainable supply chain coordination in the context of digitization. The results from our study aim to facilitate decision makers in cultivating a sustainable supply chain framework that can boost trust among the channel partners environmental performance social performance and channel efficiency of the supply chain thereby ensuring sustainability and socio welfare of all the supply chain. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

COVID-19 pandemic is the worst humanitarian crisis that economies across the globe have witnessed. Forced lockdowns social distancing and restricted mobility have contributed to large scale disruptions in the supply chain network. The purpose of the paper is to identify critical factors affecting global supply chain and evaluate strategies for risk reduction in the supply chain network by making it resilient. Our study incorporates multi-criteria decision approach using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to analyze factors that affected the supply chain networks with the onset of COVID-19. The AHP method enabled to hierarchically rank the factors based on the relative weightage while DEMATEL ascertained the inter-relationships among the factors and classified them into cause and effect groups. The findings of our study identified the cost–optimization as the most significant factor and the human resource management as the least important factor in reducing vulnerabilities of the supply chain network. Our analysis from DEMATEL approach indicate that government support is a significant causal factor which can effectively eliminate the issues plaguing supply chains during this pandemic. The results from our study aim to help policymakers in developing a risk resilient framework that can enhance performance and operational capability of the supply chain thereby ensuring sustainability and socio-economic well-being of all the stakeholders involved in the entire network. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Food waste management in the retail sector: challenges that hinder transition to circular economy
(SPRINGER, 2022) Ipek Kazancoglu; Melisa Ozbiltekin-Pala; Yigit Kazancoglu; Patanjal Kumar; Ozbiltekin-Pala, Melisa; Kumar, Patanjal; Kazancoglu, Ipek; Kazancoglu, Yigit
The retail sector is one of the growing sectors all over the world. As the sector grows the amount of food waste generated increases and waste management becomes more complicated day by day. The amount of waste produced especially in the food retail sector shows how much waste management policies should be planned. However waste management policies cannot be carried out effectively in the food retail sector especially in emerging economies. Since waste management is not well planned it faces many difficulties in recycling activities. For this purpose the study aims to investigate the challenges encountered in the inability to evaluate food wastes in the retail sector within the framework of circular economy to highlight retailer markets to have effective waste management policies. For this reason 16 challenges of food waste management were listed and the relations of these challenges with each other were analyzed with the fuzzy TISM method. As a result of the study challenges are determined as the most crucial issues for food waste management in the retail sector. As managerial and policy implications suggestions are made on the necessity of new policies the usability of Industry 4.0 technologies for the problem i.e. in the retail sector.
