This study examines how collaborative project governance supports resilience in retail–wholesale ecosystems operating under digital transformation, sustainability pressures, and institutional complexity. Existing research on governance, resilience, channel coordination, and ecosystem adaptation remains fragmented across retailing, logistics, and inter-organizational studies, limiting its ability to explain how multi-actor systems coordinate adaptive change. To address this gap, the study conducts a theory-building systematic review of 33 empirical peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2016 and 2025, using procedures aligned with PRISMA 2020 and thematic synthesis. The review identifies four interrelated components that shape resilience in project-based inter-organizational settings: structural adaptation, relational–contractual integration, institutional alignment, and cross-layer coordination. Based on these recurring patterns, the study develops the Retail–Wholesale Channel Resilience Framework, which conceptualizes resilience as a governance-enabled capability emerging through coordinated adaptation across interconnected actors, channels, and system tiers. The findings show that resilient outcomes depend not only on openness and knowledge exchange across organizational boundaries, but also on how collaboration is governed, aligned, and legitimized across the wider ecosystem. The study contributes a project governance perspective for understanding resilience in complex retail–wholesale environments.

The findings of this study were collected utilizing a thematic method, which involved extracting previous researchers' findings from the literature, categorizing similar themes and findings, and drawing conclusions. According to the findings of this survey, the most important elements impacting customer attitudes about online buying in Jordan are trust, cultural hurdles such as uncertainty avoidance and a lack of understanding, security, perceived ease-of-use, and perceived utility. It was also discovered that Hofstede's cultural dimensions’ theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM) can help online businesses identify what factors drive online shopping adoption in Jordan. This study discovered, through a review of available literature, that the online shopping sector in Jordan is currently undeveloped, necessitating more effective growth techniques. Finally, the outcomes of this study provide online merchants with insight into what has to be prioritized in order to entice Jordanian customers to make online purchases. From the findings of this investigation, three areas of inquiry were uncovered for further study. Findings from this study also include suggestions for online retailers and policymakers looking to boost Jordanians' comfort level with making purchases over the Internet. The findings of this study will be invaluable to international online retailers that are considering entering the Jordanian market. They will reveal not only the most important aspects affecting consumers' perceptions of online shopping in Jordan, but also the level of maturity of this sector.

Despite the rare use of the term ‘strategy’ in public and voluntary sector organizations, recent research has seen the use of both the strategy and strategy-as-practice concepts in regulating the innovation perspective within the public sector. The available literature on innovation, strategy, and service delivery within the public sector offers positive insights into forming a new concept of innovation within the public organization sphere. Using a systematic review, we aim to understand the integration of the strategy-as-practice perspective into the public service ethos to drive the innovation perspective forward. The review was performed in two stages, 855 documents were retrieved in the first stage that covered a five-year time span, while 8,620,000 documents were retrieved in the second stage that covered a twenty-three-year time span. We further supported our argument through a quantitative questionnaire with 93 respondents from Kuwait. The findings of the research indicate that public sector policymakers need to pay attention to the social complexity of their context in order to innovate delivered public services. Furthermore, policymakers need to adopt new innovative schemes including innovative strategy practices, digital governance, reform ethos, and mutual constitution in their strategies in order to ensure the innovative public services that are required by their communities.
