This comprehensive textbook examines the digital maturity of modern supply chains, presenting innovative frameworks for assessing and enhancing digital capabilities across procurement, production, distribution, and city logistics while offering forward-looking scenarios for supply chain evolution.Logistics and Digital Transformation: The Challenges of Modern Supply Chains leads the reader through the various applications of information and communication technology (ICT) in logistics and suggests how digital logistics systems may develop in the future. These concepts present research conducted at the scale of the entire supply chain, as well as at the scale of individual logistics subsystems (supply logistics, production logistics, distribution logistics), and in the area of city (urban) logistics, which is closely related to the development of modern distribution systems. Unique to this book is its description of the relationship between the digital development of individual subsystems and entire supply chains, to identify the determinants of this development and challenges - this approach has not yet been addressed in the literature.This book will find an appreciative audience amongst advanced students, researchers, practitioners in logistics, supply chain management, manufacturing, trading, IT companies, and policymakers interested in logistics innovation and digital maturity.

Modern supply chains operate in conditions of increasing complexity and uncertainty, resulting from both dynamic technological changes and increasing regulatory requirements. Companies must simultaneously optimise their processes for efficiency and costs, minimise risk, and adapt to new ESG standards that are changing the way supply chains operate. This requires modern management tools, strategic decisions based on data, and financing models that enable the implementation of solutions consistent with the principles of sustainable development.This book provides insights into how modern supply chains are evolving and why it matters to businesses, policymakers, and society at large. Contributors address the key challenges facing modern supply chains, from the rapid development of technologies - such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and automation - revolutionising the way logistics and operations are managed, to increasing regulatory requirements and social pressure for sustainable development forcing companies to adapt their strategies to stricter environmental and ethical standards. The book also explores the financing of sustainable supply chains, expanding how financial instruments such as green bonds, ESG funds, and public-private partnerships can support logistics transformation in the face of new environmental standards.Combining theoretical foundations and practical insights, this edited collection is a valuable source of knowledge for researchers and advanced students of logistics and operations management in particular.
