COVID-19 Impact on Company Strategies: A meta-analysis on Supply Chain Sustainability and Green Supply Chain

Original language description

Purpose of the article Supply chains expected major disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chains have been cut and container prices between 2020 and 2021 increased by up to 500% for deliveries from Asia to Europe. Some publications claim that this is part of an already-begun deglobalization movement. This article wants to have a look on whether publication numbers in the past correspond with deglobalization as part of a green and sustainable movement. Methodology/methods This article analyses yearly publication numbers registered in the databases Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. The retrieved data is statistically analysed with the ANOVA for same means and with the Levene-test for same variances. The analysis is done on the p < 0.05 significance level. Scientific aim International supply chains faced major disruptions in the years 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some scientists see a strategy movement towards supply chain regionalization, others claim that deglobalisation has already begun. Environmental streamings, such as sustainability and green supply chains further facilitate regionalization, while the rise in container prices further strengthen the practical needs for supply chain robustness. Thus, this article wants to have a look on the scientific publications published since the global economic crisis in 2009 until 2021. Findings The outcomes of the ANOVA-test and the Levene-test show that green supply chains are significantly more in the research focus than sustainable supply chain aspects. According to the the Levene-test, there is a significant similarity in the speed of increase of publications related to the two terms. Further, the trend of industry 4.0 to go for digital supply chains shows increasing interest. Combined with supply chain robustness and supply chain vulnerability this term shows significantly increasing importance in recent years for green supply chains. Conclusions This paper focuses only on three datab
