The Symposium theme for 2023 is “Managing Turbulence and Performance in Operations & Supply Chains Through Digital Transformation.”

Supply chain disruptions are inevitable and ever increasing. Ensuring supply chain continuity and managing performance during turbulent times is critical for organizations. Digital transformation of supply chain operations has become a powerful tool to enable supply chains to be resilient and sustainable against turbulence while maintaining performance. Numerous digital solutions such as information integration in supply chain, blockchain, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, and other advanced technologies enable organizations to identify problems and opportunities, seize opportunities, reconfigure resources and transform organizational capabilities and supply chain operations to manage and enhance performance. However, developing operational excellence and driving superior performance through digital transformation requires selecting the right strategies, implementing well thought out plans and building the right capabilities, all of which require sound organizational changes and leadership. This Symposium seeks to develop links between theory and practice, and will provide a platform for academics, industry partners, research students, and other practitioners to share novel empirical and modelling approaches for Managing Turbulence and Performance in Operations & Supply Chains Through Digital Transformation.
