Logistics and supply chain innovation in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

Abstract

Since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was first mentioned in 2013, it has created a lot of expectations in many aspects: international trade and economy, logistics infrastructure, policy and managerial implications, and so on. That said, research regarding BRI, particular from logistics and supply chain management perspectives, is scarce. There is a lack of studies concerning innovation in logistics and supply chain in the BRI context. This article discusses recent research in this area, and then present a collection of papers featured under this theme.
