Abstract: In recent years, there has been substantial growth in the utilization of technologies within the logistics and transportation industries. This growth has resulted in the emergence of numerous novel and exciting applications, offering researchers valuable opportunities to develop innovative solutions. The field of operations management is well-positioned to contribute significantly to this development and promote socially responsible values. This paper investigates the impact of technology-driven logistics and supply chain management on various aspects of social values, categorized as technologies, platforms, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. Additionally, it provides an introduction to the papers featured in this special issue. Lastly, the paper proposes future research directions to further advance the societal impacts of technologies in logistics and transportation applications.
