</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:9.0pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">The preoccupation with supply chain management (SCM) has been present over the last few decades. Numerous studies have pointed to the need to increase the level of integration
of inter- and intra-organizational processes and information systems in order to achieve a greater level of seamlessness and reduce duplication efforts and corresponding inefficiencies. The advent of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, ‘Big Data’, ‘Open
data’, ‘Internet of Things’, ‘Web of Things’, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) II) should accelerate this trend. For example, the combination of intelligent products
and intelligent services enabled by RFID with the existing ICTs in supply chains should play a facilitating role – thus allowing greater visibility of products and services to supply chain members –, and in parallel offer more opportunities for quick and efficient
supply chain activities. Supply chain members should therefore face greater strain as they will be expected to manage not only their own activities in relation to those products and services, but also the integration of upstream and downstream core business
processes and inter- and intra-organizational information systems. In this context, collaboration between the supply chain stakeholders to co-create and capture value from ITs for their economic growth sustainability becomes not only a prerequisite, but also
a major challenge. This mini-trac</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:JA">k</span><span lang="EN-US"> aims to look at how to co-create and capture business value from new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, ‘Big Data’, ‘Open data’, ‘Internet
of Things’, ‘Web of Things’, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) both at the firm and supply chain levels.
