Digitalization description in literature
| The primary digitalization approaches | Description |
|---|---|
| Information technology (IT) | No description was found |
| Information and communication technology (ICT) | No description was found |
| Information system (IS) | IS in the articles refers to ERP and PMS ERP: no description was found. PMS: no description was found |
| Big data analytics (BDAs) | BDAs refer to a digitalization approach that analyzes, manages and processes massive, complex, real-time unstructured and structured data to draw meaningful insights. These insights (e.g. trends and patterns) facilitate HSC actors to make better decisions and provide alternatives when HSC is disrupted (e.g. disaster events) (Dubey et al., 2018a; Dennehy et al., 2021) |
| Blockchain (BC) | BC is a shared record where information exchange is digitally saved, encrypted and connected between HSC actors to increase connectivity (Baharmand et al., 2021) |
| Cloud computing (CC) | CC is a large and shared storage platform and service that disseminates information effectively and efficiently through the internet. The effective and efficient information flow is the enabler in the success of the HSC performance (Schniederjans et al., 2016) |
| Information technology infrastructure (IT infrastructure) | IT infrastructure refers to infrastructure, e.g. electricity, telecommunication and the internet, which facilitates HSCs’ digitalization (Schön et al., 2018) |
| Emergent technologies (ETs) | ETs refer to drones, AI and IoT Drones support HSC actors in combatting challenges by enabling data collection accessibility in isolated areas, measuring HSC performance and collecting real-time information (Comes et al., 2018; Shavarani, 2019). AI is an ET that HSC actors use to collect numerous data to learn and predict uncertainties and utilize the insights to make better decisions (Hong, 2023). IoT: no description was found |
| Digital technologies (DTs) | DTs in the articles refer to social media. Social media is one example of digitalization in the form of platforms to advance the connectivity of rapid information sharing through real-time data collection, sharing and dissemination among HSC actors (Maghsoudi and Moshtari, 2021) |
