What coordination mechanisms are required to utilize AI in a post-disaster or conflict scenario? What capabilities and skills are needed by managers and field operatives utilizing this technology? How can Artificial Intelligence contribute to O&SCM performance improvement and value creation n emergency situations?
2. Blockchain: What is the role of blockchain in enhancing visibility and transparency in humanitarian supply chains? Which are the relevant blockchain applications in humanitarian operations? How can blockchain be used by operations managers to combat disease outbreaks during crises?
3. Big Data and Business Analytics: How can business analytics support humanitarian operations pre-and post-natural and man-made disasters. How can business analytics minimize human suffering caused by disease outbreaks? How can business analytics help the O&SCM field minimize the disturbances produced by supply chain disruptions?
4. Social Media. Is social media a useful technology in responding to supply chain disruptions? How can social media support O&SCM scholars in addressing natural and man made disasters? How are practitioners using social media to support healthcare operations in post-disaster situations?
5. 3D printing/Additive Manufacturing. How can 3D printing address the scarcity of medical supplies in disaster relief operations? What novel applications of 3D printing can be used to combat resource scarcity (water, food, etc.)? Is 3D printing a suitable emerging technology in refugee operations? What systems and processes are needed to support point-of-care manufacture of healthcare devices and medicines?
6. Internet of things: How can the internet of things be used to minimize human suffering during humanitarian operations, disease outbreaks and mitigation? How can the internet of things be used to address issues of resources scarcity in emergency situations?
7. Drones - How can drones use the smart cities infrastructure to respond to post-disaster situations? How can drones can be used in humanitarian operations? What are the ethical issues related to the usage of the drones in disaster relief operations?
8. Medical diagnostics, medicines and advanced therapies – How can advances in diagnostics address the need for rapid and accurate evaluation and/or monitoring/tracking of patient health? How can emerging technologies alleviate pressure on the availability of pharmaceuticals and vaccines in emergency scenarios? How are leading-edge advanced therapies being pioneered to address a range of injuries and health conditions associated with humanitarian support.

背景
世界正目睹全球業(yè)務(wù)和組織供應(yīng)鏈發(fā)生前所未有的劇變。由于COVID-19，公司陷入了一個緊急情況，他們正在為自己的生存而戰(zhàn)。為了找到擺脫當(dāng)前危機(jī)的方法，管理者需要指導(dǎo)如何重新部署運(yùn)營資源和建立彈性。工業(yè)4.0技術(shù)將在重建和重組全球運(yùn)營和供應(yīng)鏈方面發(fā)揮重要作用（Koh、Orzes和Jia，2019；Queiroz等，2019）。近期學(xué)術(shù)界對新興技術(shù)的研究，如區(qū)塊鏈（Wamba 和 Queiroz，2020）、人工智能（AI）（Dwivedi 等，2019）、大數(shù)據(jù)分析（Kache 和Seuring，2017；Matthias等，2017）、物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（Islam 等，2018）、社交媒體（Ramanathan、Subramanian和Parrott，2017）和3D打印（Kapletia等，2019；Roscoe等，2019），加深了我們對供應(yīng)鏈環(huán)境下工業(yè)4.0的理解。然而，在文獻(xiàn)中得到有限關(guān)注的一個領(lǐng)域是新興技術(shù)在緊急情況下的影響。
由于疾病爆發(fā)（如COVID-19、SARS、MERS）、氣候變化、自然災(zāi)害、資源（如糧食、水）短缺和人為危機(jī)（如沖突、恐怖主義和大規(guī)模移民）而出現(xiàn)緊急情況。這種情況需要政府、非政府組織和企業(yè)迅速作出反應(yīng)，以減輕對生命和財(cái)產(chǎn)的威脅。數(shù)字技術(shù)的最新進(jìn)展可以加強(qiáng)緊急情況下的規(guī)劃、動員和管理。例如，人工智能和商業(yè)分析可以快速識別處于困境中的人群。社交媒體可以在災(zāi)害期間協(xié)調(diào)當(dāng)?shù)刂驹刚叩木葹?zāi)工作。分布式制造技術(shù)（如3D打印）為組織提供了在爆發(fā)或?yàn)?zāi)難附近制造救生藥品、植入物、設(shè)備和裝置的潛力（Phillips等，2019）。
學(xué)者們已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到組織和動態(tài)能力在開發(fā)工業(yè)4.0技術(shù)中的重要性（Li等，2018；Roscoe等，2019）。然而，培養(yǎng)在緊急情況下部署新興技術(shù)的能力的重要性尚未得到充分研究（Sarkis，2012；De Giovanni，2019；Koh、Orzes和Jia，2019），學(xué)者們已經(jīng)確定了同步應(yīng)對災(zāi)害所需的協(xié)調(diào)機(jī)制（Holguín-Veras等，2012；Oloruntoba和Gray，2006；Van Wassenhove，2006），危機(jī)期間部署新興技術(shù)所需的過程受到的關(guān)注有限（Dwivedi等，2019）。為了解決這一研究缺陷，特刊將考慮在緊急情況下部署和利用新興技術(shù)所需的能力和協(xié)調(diào)機(jī)制，旨在激發(fā)與學(xué)者和從業(yè)人員在新興技術(shù)的最新進(jìn)展及其在自然和人為災(zāi)害、沖突局勢和疾病暴發(fā)（包括covid19）方面應(yīng)用的辯論和討論。
潛在主題

2區(qū)塊鏈：區(qū)塊鏈在提高人道主義供應(yīng)鏈的可見性和透明度方面扮演什么角色？人道主義行動中的相關(guān)區(qū)塊鏈應(yīng)用有哪些？運(yùn)營經(jīng)理如何使用區(qū)塊鏈來應(yīng)對危機(jī)期間的疾病爆發(fā)？
3大數(shù)據(jù)和商業(yè)分析：商業(yè)分析如何支持自然災(zāi)害和人為災(zāi)害前后的人道主義行動。商業(yè)分析如何將疾病爆發(fā)給人類帶來的痛苦降到最低？商業(yè)分析如何幫助O&SCM領(lǐng)域?qū)⒐?yīng)鏈中斷產(chǎn)生的干擾降到最低？
4社交媒體。社交媒體是應(yīng)對供應(yīng)鏈中斷的有用技術(shù)嗎？社交媒體如何支持O&SCM學(xué)者應(yīng)對自然災(zāi)害和人為災(zāi)害？在災(zāi)后情況下，從業(yè)者如何使用社交媒體支持醫(yī)療保健運(yùn)營？
53D打印/增材制造。3D打印如何解決救災(zāi)行動中醫(yī)療用品短缺的問題？3D打印的哪些新應(yīng)用可以用來對抗資源短缺（水、食物等）？3D打印是難民行動中一種合適的新興技術(shù)嗎？需要哪些系統(tǒng)和流程來支持醫(yī)療設(shè)備和藥品的即時制造？
6物聯(lián)網(wǎng)：如何利用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)在人道主義行動、疾病暴發(fā)和緩解過程中盡量減少人類痛苦？如何利用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)解決緊急情況下的資源短缺問題？
