Guest editorial for NOFOMA 2017 conference special issue (SI)

摘要

This Special Issue of International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management contains the best papers from the 29th NOFOMA Annual Conference. The conference was organized by the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, Sweden, and took place June 7-9, 2017. NOFOMA, the Nordic network of researchers in logistics and supply chain management, has over time grown in popularity outside the Nordic countries. The NOFOMA Conference is a truly international event, where 127 researchers from 17 countries around the world met this year to share, discuss, and get feedback on their research in the Nordic atmosphere of informality mixed with rigorous scholarship. Hosted by the Lund University, which at the time of the conference was celebrating its 350 years anniversary, the event was characterized by both classic festivities and novel, rigorous, and relevant research related to the grand challenges of global logistics and supply chain management.
