La logistique et le supply chain management sont actuellement dominés par des approches normatives et techniques privilégiant l'optimisation de la performance. Cette normalisation risque de rendre invisibles certaines pratiques, acteurs et dynamiques fondamentalement logistiques. Le numéro spécial propose d'explorer une hétérodoxie logistique : une démarche scientifique interrogeant les angles morts du champ, déplaçant les cadres d'analyse existants et ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives pour appréhender la logistique comme fait social traversé par des enjeux historiques, politiques et culturels.

Cette approche envisage la logistique au-delà de la gestion des flux licites et visibles, incluant les terrains « sensibles » ou « hors normes » : économies informelles, réseaux parallèles, circulations illicites et systèmes clandestins. Ces contextes offrent des espaces empiriques pour comprendre la matérialité des flux, les formes alternatives de coordination et les logiques de pouvoir structurant les chaînes logistiques.

The Physical Internet is transitioning from theoretical concept to practical implementation through pilots, demonstrators and large-scale initiatives. This special issue seeks rigorous, empirically grounded research that offers actionable insights for managers, policymakers and supply chain stakeholders on how PI principles can be implemented, governed and scaled.

The call welcomes empirical studies, case studies, pilots and industry-driven innovations that address real implementation challenges. While conceptual contributions are considered, they must be strongly connected to practical implications and managerial relevance. Research should demonstrate sound scientific methodology while providing clear lessons learned for practitioners.

International organizations have implemented regulations requiring decarbonization of transportation and logistics industries. The special issue addresses net-zero emissions implementation through multimodal transport networks, where major cargo owners and stakeholders have committed to zero-emission transportation. AI and big data technologies are identified as catalysts for digital transformation and carbon reduction optimization.

The special issue aims to fill research gaps concerning net-zero pathway implementation, particularly around three key challenges: direct emissions reduction, higher capital and operating costs for green technologies, and establishing sustainable green energy supply chains. The collection seeks comprehensive and integrated approaches to enable logistics and transportation industries to achieve carbon reduction and multimodal network sustainability.

Researchers are invited to explore how AI, digitalization, new technologies, and policy mechanisms can support decarbonization. The special issue targets the research community and practitioners in transport, logistics, and supply chains to provide managerial insights and expand literature on net-zero pathways.

Logistics and supply chain management (L/SCM) have advanced through analytical rigor and empirical refinement. However, the contemporary landscape, shaped by geopolitical shifts, digital transformation, climate pressures, and evolving societal expectations, requires more than incremental extensions of existing models. It calls for a reconsideration of the assumptions, values, and conceptual boundaries that underpin the field. Many of the most pressing challenges in L/SCM today are not only empirical, but also normative, philosophical, and inherently interdisciplinary.

This special issue seeks essays that move beyond established paradigms and offer reflective, provocative, and conceptually grounded perspectives that offer new lenses and open new directions for research and practice. The objective is to complement empirical work by fostering ideas that challenge, reframe, and extend our understanding of L/SCM.
