This editorial addresses one of the greatest challenges of our time—racial inequality. Logistics and supply chain management (SCM) factor prominently in people’s everyday experiences, as consumers of products and logistics services as well as through participation in logistics and supply chain workforces. These everyday experiences can be quite disparate depending on one’s race. As academics, we have a responsibility to peel back the layers of how these issues of race and diversity impact and interact with supply chain phenomena. This editorial is intended to bolster conversation around these issues. We identify compelling themes that merit consideration and, perhaps, deeper investigation, including race as an individual difference variable in our research, race in SCM talent and leadership, and race and racism in SCM execution. We also call for more research that addresses racial inclusion and equal access in other aspects of SCM in light of its far‐reaching influence in the realms of business and society. The time has come to address these pervasive issues affecting organizations and individuals. We also introduce the articles appearing in the current issue of the journal.

我们时代的挑战:供应链管理中的竞赛问题

这篇社论解决了我们时代最大的挑战之一-种族不平等。物流和供应链管理(SCM)作为产品和物流服务的消费者以及参与物流和供应链劳动力的消费者,在人们的日常体验中占重要地位。这些日常经历可能会因种族而异。作为学者,我们有责任剥离这些种族和多样性问题如何影响和与供应链现象相互作用的层次。这篇社论旨在加强围绕这些问题的对话。我们确定了值得考虑的引人入胜的主题,也许还需要更深入的研究,包括种族是我们研究中的个体差异变量,SCM人才和领导力方面的竞赛以及SCM执行过程中的种族和种族主义。鉴于SCM在商业和社会领域中的深远影响,我们还呼吁开展更多研究,以解决SCM其他方面的种族包容和平等获取的问题。现在是解决这些影响组织和个人的普遍问题的时候了。我们还将介绍本期杂志上出现的文章。
