Future research agendas linking SROP and technology
| Research agenda | Definition | Link to technology | Link to SROP |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Trust through Technology” | Technology-enabled trust through transparency and awareness | Technology integrates upstream supply chain for transparency | Ensure ethical practices which improves trust in technology, leading to trust through technology |
| “Responsible Relationships” | Stakeholder management to ensure fair value chains and inclusion of stakeholders | Technology used to ensure inclusion of internal (OSP) and external (CSP) stakeholders. Wider range of data sources can be used | Reduced bias, collective voice, decision influence potential and inclusion of SMEs/ marginalised suppliers; organisations are more responsible and consider all stakeholders |
| “Freedom through Flexibility” | The socio-economic link; improved flexibility in managing disruptions through technology while keeping SROP at the core of operations strategy | Technology provides operational flexibility and efficiency in disruption scenarios to minimise risk and ensure continued operations | As SROP is embedded in operations strategy, social responsibility does not have to be addressed separately in disruptions as economic benefits are now built around these practices |
