Examining the Relationship between Information Systems, Sustainable SCM, and Competitive Advantage

Sustainability, information systems (IS), and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) are the main research areas of this study. In an era where environmental and social responsibility is becoming increasingly more important, SSCM is very significant for the survivability and competitiveness of o...
