This research bridges the gap in literature by proposing an AI-enabled collaborative supply chain model tailored for small-scale tea gardens. Using a mixed-method research design incorporating extensive field studies and structural equation modeling (SEM), this study validates the model's effectiveness. Findings indicate that AI can significantly improve coordination, predictive analytics, and automation in supply chain processes, enhancing operational efficiency, profitability, and sustainability. Additionally, AI-driven collaboration fosters more transparent and data-driven decision-making among supply chain partners, reducing dependency on intermediaries. This study contributes to the theory of collaborative advantage by demonstrating AI's role in fostering cooperative synergies in agricultural supply chains.

Thankfully, the previous editor teams, most recently Beth Davis-Sramek and Glenn Richey, are handing over the Journal in excellent shape. Submissions, acceptance rates, turnaround times, and impact factors all firmly place JBL among the small set of leading journals in the broader supply chain management space. We do not take this success for granted. In a world of AI, rising expectations for academic promotion and tenure, and dynamic global business challenges, emerging as a journal of choice is not an easy feat. To best serve our readers, authors, and engaged community members, JBL needs to continuously improve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this end, we have spent considerable time reflecting on JBL's legacy and its role within the discipline. In addition, we sought the perspectives of a broad array of JBL stakeholders. This process has revealed both clarity and questions about who we are, what we value, and how to best lead JBL forward. In this editorial, we outline the principles, priorities, and expectations that will guide our editorship over the next 4 years. We particularly focus on three pillars: the Journal's identity, theoretical and methodological expectations, and guidelines to consider when authoring and reviewing research for JBL. While an exhaustive treatment of each issue is beyond the scope here, we think of this first editorial as a roadmap and conversation starter that will evolve as we continue to listen and engage with our community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;JBL, as a premier supply chain journal, publishes high-quality empirical and conceptual research that shapes scholarly discourse, informs managerial practice, and in so doing engages a global audience. While some journals intentionally narrow their scope or privilege certain paradigms, JBL remains committed to a broad and inclusive view of global supply chain scholarship. We believe that strong research can come from any thought tradition, theoretical foundation, level of analysis, or method, as long as it advances the scholarly and practical understanding of how supply chains function and provide utility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides interesting and impactful research questions that are firmly positioned within the broader supply chain management space, all research published in JBL must be executed and presented in ways that maintain the reputation and integrity of the Journal. This requires that published research make compelling use of extant theory to frame and develop its contributions. Moreover, the research must uphold and, in some cases, advance methodological standards. Considering our desire to shape and lead academic discourse in the discipline as well as the practical visibility and impact of the work published in JBL, rigorous execution is paramount. While we strive for brevity in this editorial, we do find it necessary to state a few important perspectives regarding t","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jbl.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144858597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, rapid increases in air traffic pose escalating operational and environmental challenges. To tackle these pressures, the aviation sector is increasingly turning to digitalization and emerging technologies to improve operational and environmental performance. This study provides robust empirical evidence on the effectiveness of one such technology: airport collaborative decision making (A-CDM), a blockchain-based application designed to improve coordination among airport stakeholders. By analyzing data from all European airports that implemented A-CDM between 2010 and 2023, we demonstrate its significant impact on both operational and environmental performance. Improvements in operational performance foster greater resilience, enabling airports to better recover from disruptions such as traffic congestion, adverse weather conditions, and unexpected events. Meanwhile, the enhancements in environmental performance contribute to sustainability by reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and overall environmental impact. This study provides valuable, evidence-based insights for policymakers and airport managers, highlighting how investments in digitalization can simultaneously improve both resilience and sustainability in the aviation sector.</p>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jbl.70029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144773744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current literature has yet to address how AI can transform SC collaboration and network stability from a forward-looking perspective, creating a critical research gap. This study aims to address this gap by examining the social abilities introduced by AI and their implications for SCRes. The exploratory research design of this study is grounded in the actor-network theory and the Gioia method and includes 23 semi-structured interviews with experts. The findings reveal that AI actively influences decision-making processes, power dynamics, and trust among SC actors. By interacting with both human and non-human actors, AI emerges as a critical tool for redefining collaboration and network stability. While AI-driven SCs can enhance organizations' efficiency and adaptability, they also introduce challenges, including ethical considerations, responsibility allocation, and unintended consequences of algorithmic decision-making. This study contributes to the discourse on the embeddedness of AI in SCs by offering theoretical insights into its sociotechnical integration and managerial implications for its governance. Understanding AI as an active tool is crucial for designing resilient and future-proof SCs.

BDPZ's effects are analyzed using a staggered difference-in-differences approach, and SCR at the firm level is assessed using the entropy weight method. The findings indicate that China's BDPZ significantly enhance firms' SCR. In addition, mechanism testing reveals that this enhancement is primarily achieved through improved product competitiveness, alleviated financing constraints, and accelerated digital transformation.

The results reveal that firms' digitalization capability advantage (DCA) is an effective means to achieve the fit between information processing needs and capabilities in improving SCT and reducing the unethical behavior of partner firms. This fit is further strengthened when firms and their partners exhibit a higher level of cultural congruence. Additionally, the study demonstrates that improving SCT and mitigating unethical behavior are crucial mechanisms that facilitate reciprocal resource interactions, fostering high-quality social relationships between focal firms and their partners, and ultimately contributing to enhanced SCF performance.

We contribute to programmatic theory concerning NIT by examining firms' responses to coercive yet heterogeneous regulatory environments by studying small- and medium-sized trucking firms' compliance behaviors during a unique natural experiment where some US states postponed enforcement of the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate in the US trucking sector. We find that while firms located in states that postponed enforcement deadlines experienced lower compliance efforts regarding the ELD mandate prior to the initial enforcement date, the impact of being in a postponed enforcement environment became less pronounced once other states began enforcement efforts.

Using survey data from 285 manufacturing firms in Ghana, we find that PSP directly drives SRSC initiatives, while SSP does not. However, supply chain ambidexterity, which balances alignment and adaptability, partially mediates the PSP–SRSC link and fully mediates the SSP–SRSC relationship.
