    Balanced Scorecard as the Basis for Global Container Shipping Line IT-Architecture Modeling
    Companies in the container liner shipping industry actively introduce digital technologies, which have a significant impact on all business aspects of a company. New technologies could become drivers for new business models. The digital transformation requires changes of company IT-architectures, cultures, and organizational frameworks. Monitoring and planning digital transformation processes require a method that allows evaluating the changes in the company's IT-architecture in the context of their compliance with the company's strategic goals. The Balanced Scorecard normally is used as a tool for the strategy implementation assessment. This article proposes the Balanced Scorecard application to measure and plan IT-architecture changes, using it as the basis for the company's digital twin. This tool could provide substantial support for global container shipping line digital transformation planning and monitoring. For the purpose of current study, the authors use the multi-level matrix comparing and linking indicators and IT-architecture models of the global container shipping line.

    Sustainability in arctic maritime supply chains
    Purpose: The sustainable development of Arctic maritime supply chains requires an effective balance between economic growth, environmental protection and social relations. Existing Arctic development projects are often distinguished by single-cri-terion decision making - economic growth to the detriment of other components. The paper aims to analyze existing approaches and practices of Arctic supply chains development from a sustainable development viewpoint. Methodology: Best practices of other industries are identified by a thoroughly liter-ature research of relevant publications and developing a model for sustainability is-sues in Arctic maritime supply chains. The model compromises relevant indicators in regard to economic, social and environmental performance for the Arctic region. Findings: The result of this paper will be a thoroughly overview over current sustain-ability issues in the Arctic framework (economic, social and environmental). Findings for example will be how companies adjust to the ban of using heavy Sulphur fuel in the Arctic or social and economic changes in remote areas due to more shipping in the Arctic. Originality: The originality of the research is defined by the sustainability viewpoint on the problem: the combination of social, economic as well as environmental issues is the main focus of this paper especially with a focus on remote areas of the Arctic.
