A New Paradigm for Systematic Literature Reviews in Supply Chain Management

Abstract: While systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have contributed substantially to developing knowledge in fields such as medicine, they have made limited contributions to developing knowledge in the supply chain management domain. This is due to the ontological and epistemological idiosyncrasies of research in supply chain management, which need to be accounted for when retrieving, selecting, and synthesizing studies in an SLR. Therefore, we propose a new paradigm for SLRs in the supply chain domain that is based o… Show more

“…Another opportunity for researchers is to conduct “subversive” research where the aim is to look for irregularities—“contradictory empirical results, outliers, and real‐world paradoxes … that challenge the preconceived picture of the theoretical framework to thus stimulate the development of new or alternative explanations” (Durach, Kembro & Wieland, , p. 75). Quantitative research tends to average out or eliminate radically different supply chains.…”
