Build resilient, sustainable supply chains by making digital transformation operable at scale

Supply chain professionals face mounting pressure to integrate digital technologies while maintaining operational resilience and sustainability. Managing Modern Supply Chains: Digital Transformation, Sustainability, and Resilience in a Global Economy addresses these challenges through contributions from an international mix of academics and practitioners, offering diverse viewpoints and implementation oriented insights. The book covers AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, and shows how to make them operable at scale through governance, assurance mechanisms, clear decision rights, and operating cadence.

Structured in four parts, the book follows the transformation journey end to end. From hype to value in data, AI, and assurance. From channels to journeys in omnichannel fulfillment and logistics automation. From footprint to circularity in sustainable supply chains. From shocks to strength in resilience, global dynamics, trust, and human capital.

Dedicated chapters cover green logistics in practice, sustainability and, eco-friendly packaging, and reverse logistics as a managed flow. Feal-world examples and practitioner decision criteria bridge academic research with practical strategy, while future-focused content includes GenAI capabilities that logistics providers can monetize and shippers can trust.

The book also covers:

• Practical frameworks connecting digital technology adoption with governance, assurance, and strategic decision-making in complex supply networks
• Guidance on building operational resilience using digital tools and data analytics to respond swiftly to market disruptions
• Sustainable execution in practice including green logistics, eco-friendly packaging solutions, and circular supply chain implementation routines
• Omnichannel fulfillment and automation fit, including promise logic, exception management, and control stack ownership, supported by practitioner decision criteria
• Cyber resilience across partners and interfaces, where operational risk concentrates and propagates
• Global perspectives on geopolitics and freight volatility, plus the trust and talent required to scale transformation
• Future-focused analysis on GenAI in logistics, from monetizable capabilities to trust and assurance requirements

Designed for professionals, academics, and graduate students, this book combines conceptual clarity with practitioner decision tools, and can serve as a capability audit for modern supply chain transformation. It helps leaders make faster decisions, reduce escalations, and keep service stable when conditions change.
