We discuss recent developments in exploring supply chain structural dynamics. We focus on both positive (i.e., new disruptive technologies) and negative (i.e., disruption risks) triggers of the structural dynamics in complex supply chain networks. We discuss papers in the special issue which focus on supply chain structural dynamics using different methods, collating and presenting recent research in the field. In particular, the ripple effect, blockchain, network resilience, data analytics, and service platforms have been identified as the leading research directions.

探索供应链结构动态：新的颠覆性技术和颠覆性风险

我们讨论了探索供应链结构动态的最新进展。我们关注复杂供应链网络结构动态的积极（即新的颠覆性技术）和消极（即颠覆性风险）触发因素。我们讨论了特刊中使用不同方法关注供应链结构动力学的论文，整理和介绍了该领域的最新研究。特别是涟漪效应、区块链、网络弹性、数据分析和服务平台已被确定为领先的研究方向。
