#### 3.3.1 Macro theme vs. Industrial Sector  
Figure 6 shows the cross-sectional analysis of macro theme and industrial sector. The logistics sector has a total of 20 articles, 7 of which (i.e., 35% of the papers in that industry field) deal with ICT. The full sample, including not only logistics but also other industrial fields, consists of 86 articles, excluding multiple or unspecified industries. Hence, the papers that examine jointly the logistics industry and the ICT area account for 7% of the sample. In the contemporary landscape shaped by digital technologies, several

One of these sectors is the transportation and logistics field [81]. Logistics companies, indeed, improve productivity, minimize errors, and reduce costs through technology innovation practices [82]. Regarding transportation, technological innovation brings greater efficiency [83], while at the same time involving environmental benefits [84]. It is therefore essential to promote the sustainable development of logistics, avoiding the indiscriminate depletion of the planet's resources and mitigating the risk of significant environmental impacts. It is important to note that the transportation sector alone contributes nearly 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the urgency of adopting more environmentally sustainable practices [85]. An effective approach to balancing profit by considering social and environmental issues is to promote policies to support the adoption and diffusion of innovation [86]. In line with these considerations, four papers focus on sustainability in the logistics sector, accounting for 20% of papers concerning this industrial field and 5% of the total sample of papers. Figure 6: Industrial sector vs. macro theme. The food sector is widely studied in term of resilience and sustainability [71]. The COVID-19 pandemic offered relevant opportunities to study the food system resilience and learn from the related segments that show tolerance to shocks [87]. Food system resilience is defined as the \"capacity over time of a food system and its units at multiple levels, to provide sufficient, appropriate and accessible food to all, in the face of various and even unforeseen disturbances\" [88]. Process and product sustainability, and its improvement, can help the food industry mitigate risks and enable customer satisfaction [89]. Although efficient food production and distribution systems exist, the Sustainable Food Supply Chain (SFSC) remains a challenge worldwide [89]. Three pillars are to be considered when discussing the SFSC: environmental, social, and ethical. This is also understood from the definition of Sustainable Food Value Chains (SFVCs): \"The full range of farms and firms and their successive coordinated value-adding activities that produce particular raw agricultural materials and transform them into particular food products that are sold to final consumers and disposed of after use, in a manner that is profitable throughout, has broad-based benefits for society, and does not permanently deplete natural resources\" [90]. To be able to ensure resilience and adaptability to change [41], it is critical to identify supply chain performance measures [91; 92] especially for companies that want to be better prepared for possible future disruptions [93]. Based on the above considerations, in the food sector the concept of performance assumes great importance, accounting for about 31% of the articles concerning this field and 5% of the entire sample of articles. The global economy seemed to have limped to a recovery in 2019, but the advent of COVID-19 hit every sector hard. The pandemic had a significantly negative impact, particularly evident in the food and agribusiness sector, which is a key pillar of the global economy [94].
