    Data for Sustainable Development in Logistics and Supply Chains – A Systematic Literature Review
    (2024-01-03) Guennoun, Rajae; Winkelmann, Stephanie; Möller, Frederik
    The pressure on companies to contribute to sustainable development has increased drastically due to new regulations and political and social demands. The logistics and supply chain industry is directly influenced by this pressure as it has a considerable impact on society, is accountable for a large amount of emissions, and is a major contributor to the economy. The amount of information available is multiplying, and data is an asset that has become the essence of this century’s economy. This study investigates the implications of data in sustainable development by identifying data objects and attributes for logistics in a systematic literature review. The findings highlight the importance of data to sustainable development, contributing to the UN SDGs, promoting informed decision-making, and focusing on operational optimization.

    I Can See Clearly Now: A Bibliometric Exploration of Digital Platforms in Supply Chain Management
    (2024-01-03) Goertler, Thomas; Papert, Marcel; Fischer, Isabel; Reich, Daniel; Werner, Nico
    Digital platforms (DPs) represent a challenging research object with a considerable number of academic publications. Due to the high relevance of DPs in science and practice, the aim of this study is to analyze the status quo of research on the relationship between DPs and supply chain management (SCM), and to derive a research agenda. Through a bibliometric analysis in key SCM journals, 60 articles were examined and evaluated using content and co-occurrence analysis. Based on this sample, eight different main research clusters were identified and a research agenda was derived for each cluster. Our study paves the way for future research on DPs and SCM, as well as providing support for managers to strengthen relevant knowledge regarding the implementation of DPs in practice.

    Analyzing and Extending Research Phenomena in Supply Chain Management to Advance Scientific Impact – An Extensive Bibliometric Analysis
    (2024-01-03) Fischer, Isabel; Papert, Marcel
    The discipline of Supply Chain Management (SCM) has undergone several disruptions in recent years. In 2021, Wieland wrote a seminal article on transformative SCM and proposed three levels for describing and advancing the discipline. However, the author states their insufficiency and the need for an extension. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the phenomena that affect SCM and to extend the levels. In doing so, we help to identify a research framework and to advance the impact of SCM research. We examined all articles from 1976 to 2022 that contained “supply chain*” in title, abstract, or keywords. A co-occurrence analysis of the publications revealed seven main phenomena to be regarded in the SCM context. Further, we revealed research implications for each cluster and derived additional levels for describing and advancing SCM research. In sum, our findings extend existing research and provide valuable insights into the SCM discipline.

    Towards the data-driven circular and embedded supply chain: Considerations from an ICT perspective
    (2024-01-03) Papert, Marcel; Hamper, Andreas; Hoßbach-Zimmermann, Nadja; Schuster, Tassilo; Buehler, Lydia; Pflaum, Alexander
    In the academic literature on Supply Chain Management the vision of a paradigm change from linear pipelines toward circular, postfossil, servitized and degrowth supply chains is drawn. Modern information and communication technologies are a key enabler for the realization of this vision. However, the literature remains vague on how these technologies can support the transformation. This publication aims to contribute to closing this gap. It provides an overview of relevant trends, technologies, and concepts, presents a visionary scenario for a data-driven and platform-based circular SCM, and identifies essential steps for its realization. Methodologically, the study is based on a literature review and a single case study in combination with an action research approach.
