    Digital transformation in food supply chains: a review and implementation roadmap
    (Emerald, 2023-07-05) Wang, Shiyi; Ghadge, Abhijeet; Aktas, Emel
    Digital transformation has gradually attracted the attention to address food supply chain (FSC) challenges. However, the integration of technologies/capabilities to achieve digital transformation in FSCs is unclear. The study aims to establish how the digital transformation of FSCs can be achieved using the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing (CC), and Big Data Analytics (BDA). A systematic literature review (SLR) is conducted to deliver a comprehensive view with 57 papers selected from 2008 to 2022. A digital transformation roadmap is proposed based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, which contributes to theory and practice by providing guidance for implementation.

    Digital transformation in food supply chains: an implementation framework
    (Emerald, 2024-01-19) Wang, Shiyi; Ghadge, Abhijeet; Aktas, Emel
    Purpose Digital transformation using Industry 4.0 technologies can address various challenges in food supply chains (FSCs). However, the integration of emerging technologies to achieve digital transformation in FSCs is unclear. This study aims to establish how the digital transformation of FSCs can be achieved by adopting key technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoTs), cloud computing (CC) and big data analytics (BDA). Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review (SLR) resulted in 57 articles from 2008 to 2022. Following descriptive and thematic analysis, a conceptual framework based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and the context-intervention-mechanism-outcome (CIMO) logic is established, along with avenues for future research. Findings The combination of DOI theory and CIMO logic provides the theoretical foundation for linking the general innovation process to the digital transformation process. A novel conceptual framework for achieving digital transformation in FSCs is developed from the initiation to implementation phases. Objectives and principles for digitally transforming FSCs are identified for the initiation phase. A four-layer technology implementation architecture is developed for the implementation phase, facilitating multiple applications for FSC digital transformation. Originality/value The study contributes to the development of theory on digital transformation in FSCs and offers managerial guidelines for accelerating the growth of the food industry using key Industry 4.0 emerging technologies. The proposed framework brings clarity into the “neglected” intermediate stage of data management between data collection and analysis. The study highlights the need for a balanced integration of IoT, CC and BDA as key Industry 4.0 technologies to achieve digital transformation successfully.
