1 Title : Global supply chains after COVID-19: the end of the road for neoliberal globalization?
2 Objectives : Through its impact on both demand and supply, the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has
profoundly disrupted supply chains throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to explore the underlying drivers of
the supply chain vulnerability exposed by COVID-19 and considers potential future directions for global supply.
3 Methods : This paper adopts a case study approach, reviewing the automotive manufacturing sector in Australia to illustrate how
neoliberal globalization policy settings have shifted large tracts of manufacturing from the global north to the global south.
4 Theory/ : None
Hypothesis
5 Results : The authors demonstrate the way that neoliberal globalization policies, facilitated by certain accounting rhetoric’s and
technologies, have consolidated manufacturing in China and Southeast Asia in ways that embed vulnerabilities in; global
supply chains. The authors present three scenarios for post-COVID-19 supply chains and the accounting techniques likely
to garner stronger attention as a result of the pandemic.
6 Implications : A number of practical supply chain accounting and planning technologies are suggested to facilitate more robust supply
chains.
7 Robustness : None
Techniques
8 Limitations : The paper illustrates how certain accounting rhetoric’s and technologies facilitate neoliberal globalization, embedding
supply chain vulnerability that has been exposed by COVID-19. It also suggests how supply chain accounting may
develop more robust supply chains in a post-COVID-19 world and sets out an agenda for future research in this area.

1 Title : Opportunities and limitations of public block chain-based supply chain traceability
2 Objectives : Block chain technology is provoking significant disruptions, thereby affecting supply chain management. This study
endeavored to advance research regarding block chain-based supply chain traceability by identifying the
opportunities and limitations that accompany the adoption of public block chains. Therefore, the purpose of the
study is to contribute to contemporary supply chain research by an assessment of block chain technology and its
linkages to traceability.
3 Methods : This paper is conceptual. The authors summarized the relevant literature on the concepts of supply chain traceability,
conceptualized key elements exclusive to the public block chain and highlighted opportunities and limitations in
implementing traceability using block chains.
4 Theory/Hypothesis : None
5 Results : Incompatibilities were identified between general traceability and the public block chain. However, when embracing
the block chain’s privacy model, the block chains can support information exchange in supply chains where
vulnerability towards third parties, the confidentiality of information, or the privacy of participants are concerns.
Furthermore, the public block chain can support areas of supply chains where institutional interest is lacking.
6 Implications : Focus on the privacy model, the paper identifies the potential application and future research approaches to exploit
the elementary strength of the block chain.
7 Robustness : None
Techniques
8 Limitations : In this study, we did not distinguish between the different types of supply chains, product types, or stakeholders.
Traceability privacy requirements, for example, the confidentiality needs of sub-suppliers, or the number of
intermediaries involved, might differ. Furthermore, we did not dissect the technological fabric of the block chain and
engage with these single technological components.

Title : Exploring the impact of institutional forces on the social sustainability of logistics service providers: insights from a
high terrorism-affected region.
Objectives : Achieving social sustainability has become a critical challenge in global supply chain networks, particularly during
complex crises such as terrorism. The purpose of this study is to explore how institutional forces influence the social
sustainability approaches of logistics service providers (LSPs) in high terrorism-affected regions (HTAR). This then leads
to investigating how the key factors interact with Institutional Theory.
Methods : An exploratory multiple-case study research method was used to investigate six cases of different-sized logistics LSPs,
each in an HTAR. The data was collected using semi structured interviews and triangulated using on-site observations and
document analysis. Thematic analysis was used in iterative cycles for cross-case comparisons and pattern matching.
Theory/ : None
Hypothesis
Results : The findings interact with Institutional Theory and the three final-order themes. First, management processes are driven by
coopetition and innovation. Second, organizational resources, structure and culture lead to an ineffective organizational
design. Finally, a lack of institutionalization creates institutional uncertainty. These factors are rooted in many other first-
order factors such as information sharing, communication, relationship management, capacity development, new process
developments, workforce characteristics, technology, micro level culture and control aspects.
Implications : This study answers the call for social sustainability research and enriches the literature on social sustainability,
Institutional Theory and LSPs in HTARs by providing illustrations showing that institutional forces act as driving forces
for social sustainability initiatives by shaping the current management processes. Conversely, the same forces impede
social sustainability initiatives by shaping the current organizational designs and increasing institutional uncertainty.
Robustness : None
Techniques
Limitations : This study contributes to institutional theory by providing empirical evidence of the individual effect of the three types of
institutional pressure, with noteworthy lack of influence from mimetic pressures. The paper also contributes a
conceptualization of SCDE composed of three dimensions: digital technologies, digital infrastructure and digital culture.
Finally, the study advances the literature on SC competences.
