- Abstract
- The fashion industry with its complex supply chains deals with increasingly problematic environmental issues.

Guided by a conceptual model based on the TOE framework, this study critically explored the main organizational challenges fashion companies face in this context by conducting six qualitative interviews and contrasting the empirical findings with current academic literature. As a result, 55 challenges for analytics- enabled GSCM were... (More)
