Abstract: Managerial innovation – too often neglected in academic research, frequently ignored by companies, in favour of a more technical and technological innovation – is the central theme of this special issue of Logistique & Management. How does one improve and transform the management of physical and information flows between industrial and logistics partners in a supply chain? What are the new strategies, practices and procedures recently developed and implemented in this domain? How does an organisation appropriate these innovations? How does a supply chain change to fit the modifications of its environment, its constraints, its actors, its technologies? The four articles presented in this special issue seek to answer these questions. The first article aims to understand the characteristics and features of logistics innovation. The other three articles based on empirical studies analyse managerial innovations in three different contexts: LSP (Logistics Services Providers) and their capacity for innovation, the hospital and the management of patient flows, and finally additive manufacturing and the emergence of a new actor in a different supply chain configuration.
