Abstract: Global logistics and supply chains (GLSC)—a vital element in the strategic decisions of multinational corporations and governments—have received unprecedented attention in recent years. On one hand, the climate crisis has intensified the imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors, particularly in freight transportation and logistics. A rapidly growing number of firms in the sector have committed to achieving the target of Net Zero Emissions by 2050 and are seeking effective, efficient strategies and solutions to reach this goal. On the other hand, recent disruptive events, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, rising tariffs and trade wars, resurging protectionism, and geopolitical tensions, have clearly exposed the modern supply chain's vulnerabilities and profoundly challenged the prevailing management practices that have shaped global operations for decades. As a result, GLSC management is undergoing a fundamental transformation, and a return to the pre-disruption status quo appears increasingly unlikely in the near term. A central question now facing both scholars and practitioners is how GLSC can adapt effectively to this new normal. This Special Issue brings together original and impactful research that rethinks the future of GLSC, investigates its ongoing transformation, examines the evolving landscape of management research in this domain, and identifies emerging paradigms, approaches, and models that are driving the transition. These insights are expected to shape the future of GLSC toward a model of sustainable, human-centric, and resilient management—a vision aligned with the vision of Industry 5.0.
