“…There are also studies indicating that "supply chain collaboration" has a positive effect on improving sustainability [49]. Wong et al (2019) conducted a literature review of 155 literatures on supply chain innovation and found that most of the research samples on supply chain innovation are manufacturing companies [50]. Innovation in the supply chain is expected to achieve sustainable results.…”

Bibliometric Analysis of Supplier Management: The Theme and Cluster Perspectives

2020

This paper conducted a bibliometric analysis based on 4687 papers on supplier management from 1997 to 2017. Through a comparative analysis of the four stages using Bibexcel and Ucinet6 software, this paper explores the evolution of supplier management from the theme and cluster perspectives. The results show that supplier management research has made breakthroughs in both breadth and depth. Representative research themes, such as “sustainable supply chain”, “corporate social responsibility”, “knowledge management”, etc., have gradually penetrated into the field of supplier management. Research related to “supplier selection” and “supplier relations” have always been of the highest strategic importance, and themes in “supplier relations” cluster such as “trust” and “commitment” have gradually attracted more and more researchers’ attention. The “inventory” cluster has also been a research focus, and the structural stability and maturity of the cluster have gradually improved. The “innovation” cluster is a relatively “open” cluster, and its impact on the entire research filed of supplier management has been gradually increasing. More importantly, the “sustainability” cluster is an evolving cluster, research themes related to “sustainability”, such as “green supply chain”, “sustainable supply chain” and “green supplier selection”, will play an increasingly important role in the field of supplier management.

“…We used a sample of service firms for assessing innovation speed in the context of B2B relationships, as there are few studies focused on B2B relationships and innovation in the service sector. A recent call for future research has noted, "We found that supply chain innovation research has heavily relied on manufacturing firm-based samples and U.S. samples, limiting the generalizability of the findings" (Wong & Ngai, 2019;p. 9).…”

“…While the RBV takes the view that innovation is an outcome of resources under control, the transaction cost economics perspective proposes that reducing transaction costs by having long-term relationships improves innovation outcomes (Conner & Prahalad 1996). The loose coupling perspective used in our study, distinct from the broadly used theoretical frameworks found in Wong and Ngai (2019), takes a very different view of innovation by theorizing that the speed of innovation is primarily dependent on the inherent flexibility in the design of a firm operating system and its relationship with its supply chain partners (Schilling & Steensma 2001).…”

“…Third, we frame the antecedents of innovation speed in a novel way by using the loose coupling perspective in B2B service contexts. Prior research, while using RBV (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000;O'Reilly & Tushman, 2008) or transaction cost economics (Kogut & Zander 1996;Szulanski, 1996) has not theorized the outcome of innovation speed capability using the loose coupling perspective (Wong & Ngai, 2019), particularly in a B2B service supply chain context. In a review of 55 academic publications in supply chain innovations between 1999 and 2016, Wong and Ngai (2019: p. 9) "found that five major theoretical perspectives have been used in previous research, namely, resource-based view (21%), transaction cost economics (16%), relational theory (12%), knowledge-based theory (6%), and organizational theory (6%)."…”

In this paper, we examine whether and how loosely coupled systems in service supply chains influence the speed of innovation in service organizations. Drawing upon the nomological network of loosely coupled systems, we propose a way for supply chains in the business to business (B2B) market context to be conceptualized as loosely coupled systems and explain how the dialectical elements of modularity at the interface of standard process and content interfaces (SPCI) and structured data connectivity (SDC) enable the sharing of high-quality information through fluid partnership in service supply chains to improve innovation speed. Results that are based on a sample of service firms indicate that SPCI and SDC are positively associated with modular interconnected processes, and they, in turn, positively influence the ability to reconfigure supply chain partners (fluid partnership). Fluid partnership enhances information quality, which in turn, influences innovation speed. Implications are discussed for B2B service supply chain efforts in improving innovation speed.

“…Development in shopping options through eCommerce and mCommerce has made supply chain management a crucial issue of concern for various organization or businesses. For large manufacturing industries or companies, it is the most critical problem to deliver their products to supply chain partners (Wong and Ngai, 2019). With an increasing emphasis on technological advancements, as well as the changes in customer expectations, the need for integrated supply management has become increasingly important (Moretto et al, 2019).…”

Due to rapid developments in technology, the supply chain becomes a bright area of interest among up-and-coming careers in various industries. People with careers in this field oversee such activities as product development, production, information systems, transportation, and day-today logistics. But, the rapidly evolving environments of an easy and comfortable life, the demand for product visibility and end-to-end traceability have grown. The existing supply chain is inefficient, unadaptable, intractable and costly as compared to innovative and advanced technology. Blockchain is the emerging and revolutionary technology that impacts the supply chain networks significantly. Therefore, in this paper, the implication of blockchain technology in the supply chain is presented.
