Supply Chain Reimagined — Circular, Smart, and Adaptive
Journal of Innovation Call for Papers – Spring 2026
In an era marked by global disruption, digital acceleration, and mounting environmental imperatives, supply chains are undergoing profound transformation at the global scale. This edition of Journal of Innovation seeks original contributions that explore the emerging supply chain design and management – anchored with lesson learned from early real-world pilots and implementation -- through the lenses of circularity, intelligent systems, and adaptability at scale.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Circular supply chain models: design, metrics, and implementation
- Decarbonizing the Supply Chain - Pathways to Net Zero: Strategies, technologies, and metrics
- Digital twins, AI, and predictive analytics in supply chain intelligence
- Cyber-Resilience in Digitally Integrated Supply Chains
- Smart Warehousing and Sustainable Fulfillment
- Control Towers and End-to-End Visibility in Complex Value Chains
- Hyperlocal Fulfillment and Demand Redistribution Models
- Workforce augmentation and skill transformation in supply chain operations
- Resilient Sourcing Strategies in a Fragmented Global Trade Environment
- Responsive Supply Chain Governance and Decision Architecture
- Risk-resilient and adaptive supply networks in dynamic environments
Priority will be given to those submissions that address the strategic challenges posed by fluctuating regulatory, economic, and cross-border conditions, and how firms can build flexibility into their supply chains in response to such volatility.
Join us in shaping a conversation critical to the future of sustainable commerce and industrial resilience. Let’s reimagine supply chains—not just as systems of movement but as catalysts for environmental and economic progress.
