This paper proposes a re-conceptualization of the port supply chain as a smart service system, according to the theory of the Service science. Starting from a short literature review about the port supply chain approach and the Service science, a new comprehensive framework is provided to better understand the seaport dynamics and the creation of competitive port supply chains. The methodology used is the case study approach. The authors examined the port of Salerno (Italy), and re-conceptualized it as a smart port service systems. Both theoretical and practical implications are provided to enrich the literature about the port supply chain and to support the port operators.

In the era of turbulent environment, handling disruptions and building resilience is of prime importance to businesses. Most literature on building resilience in a supply chain is organization-focused and discusses firm-level abilities to bounce back after a disruption. In this study, the authors explored and defined collaborative resilience in a supply chain. Specifically, a case study approach across five supply chains was followed. Through this research, an empirical definition and understanding of collaborative resilience in supply chains was derived as the finding of the study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical research to develop a definition of collaborative resilience in supply chain. This study may strike many future research studies for research on the phenomenon of collaborative resilience in supply chains.

In an effort to clarify and reconcile different perspectives of transactional and relational marketing practices the 'Contemporary Marketing Practice' (CMP) group developed a classification scheme of marketing practices. Research by the CMP group identifies that in any particular context there are multiple exchange paradigms present. That is, different combinations of marketing practices are possible. The food supply chain is characterized by highly interdependent partnerships and a span of relationship types (Hogarth-Scott, 1999). The aim of this study is to compare and contrast transactional and relational marketing practices within the Dutch pork supply chain and to consider the contextual factors influencing such practices. The year of reference for this study is 2003-2004. Using a case study approach, we identify that all chain players practice transactional and relational marketing practices concurrently. Previous studies have indicated that the Dutch pork supply chain can be characterized by general mistrust; our study indicates that the lack of trust is primarily towards slaughterhouses and retailers. In line with the literature on business relationships this can be explained by a power imbalance and information asymmetry in the supply chain.
