“…Systematic literature review (SLR) methodology is the most suitable for highlighting the state-of-the-art progression of the domain to offer the future research agenda (Dohale et al , 2020; Easterby-Smith et al , 2001; Sahu and Rao, 2021; Thomé et al , 2016; Tranfield et al , 2003). As the aim is to understand the trend of MS publications focusing on the congruence aspect to provide future research opportunities, this study adopted the SLR methodology.…”

PurposeThis study provides a systematic review of the literature within the manufacturing strategy (MS) domain focusing on the congruence aspect of different strategic functions to determine the state-of-the-art research progression and the trend of publications.Design/methodology/approachWe have adopted a five-stage review methodology consisting - 1) Article Identification; 2) Inclusion/Exclusion; 3) Review of the Articles; 4) Literature Analysis; 5) Future research directions. 121 articles focusing on congruence aspects and specific to the MS domain are identified and reviewed. Bibliometric analysis comprising keyword co-occurrence using a VOSviewer© software, and citation analysis is performed. Further, content analysis is carried out to categorize articles based on the type of research methodology, type of tool/method used, and aspects considered for congruence study.FindingsBased on the research gaps identified in the existing literature on the congruence aspect within the MS domain, this study offers future research directions. Majorly, the work found is an empirical survey. Literature scants to develop a framework that helps to quantify the congruence between two strategic functions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study facilitates researchers and practitioners to understand the congruence between different strategic aspects studied in the literature and the level of fit between them. Further, the identified research directions can encourage researchers and practitioners to conceive novel approaches to conduct future works on congruence theme.Originality/valueThe unicity of the current review lies in its theme, i.e. congruence aspect within MS. To the best of author's knowledge, no comparable study is observed to review the congruence aspect in any other domain.

“…It assists in an organized synthesis of the literature and thereby enables various knowledge and insights related to the field (Roy et al, 2018). SLR is an essential building block to constitute reliable scientific knowledge for the advancement of a discipline and provides higher quality for the review process, minimizes bias and errors, and obtains more validity to the process (Di Vaio et al, 2020a;Sahu and Rao, 2020). Therefore, we preferred to conduct a systematic procedure to achieve the objectives of this study.…”

“…In Fan and Stevenson's (2018) study, the agency theory took second place and the system theory took third place. In another study, Sahu and Rao (2020) ranked the top theories used in supply chain management research in India as follows: resource-based view, institutional theory, and stakeholder theory. These differences may be attributed to two reasons: (1) The articles examined in the mentioned studies and applied database are different and (2) the time intervals reviewed in the studies are not the same (for example Fan and Stevenson (2018) reviewed articles published in 2000-2016, whereas we reviewed articles published in 1998-2020).…”

“…Prakash et al (2017) have identified as well as analyzed the research design, techniques, and methodologies in SCRM literature. Organizational theories have not been the primary and sole focus of previous reviews, yet rather discussed briefly in the findings, for instance in Pournader et al's (2020), Fan and Stevenson's (2018), and Sahu and Rao's (2020) studies. On the other hand, previous empirical research has highlighted the significant role of organizational theories to improve our understanding of the phenomenon in SCRM literature and underlined the necessity for a further theoretical lens (Tukamuhabwa et al, 2015).…”

PurposeThe aim of this conceptual study is to analyze the effects of state-of-the-art research streams on supply chain risk management (SCRM) based on organizational theoretical background and direct future research toward the use of other related organizational theories. This paper seeks to provide a framework for understanding various organizational theories that can impact the understanding of SCRM.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review on articles published from 1998 to 2020 was conducted manually in the following databases: Emerald, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis Online, and Wiley online library. Among these articles, the paper by Smeltzer and Siferd (1998) is the first article published on the topic. Therefore, that serves as a starting point for the papers' analysis. A total of 109 articles have been selected and reviewed in detail.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that the articles which utilize theories in SCRM research have been mostly published in the last three years. The quantitative and case studies have been prevalently applied methods in the articles. In total, 34 theories are listed from the investigated articles. The four commonly studied theories among these are the information processing theory, transaction cost theory, contingency theory, and resource-based view.Originality/valueThis paper is the pioneer in the sense that the paper specifically and directly reviews the SCRM literature in terms of organizational theory usage. For future research, this study offers a diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory that explains the factors which can affect the adoption or diffusion of SCRM practices.

“…Empirical studies on SCM adoption and barrier factors related to the adoption decision are scanty and not found in the literature (Sahu and Rao, 2021). However, a few studies have touched upon SC barriers tangentially in their studies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically test a theoretical model on supply chain management (SCM) adoption in India. Design/methodology/approach The present study used a multiple case research method to study the phenomenon. The findings are based on analysis of the SCM adoption processes in three large manufacturing organizations from the aluminium, steel and fertilizer industries. Findings The present study tested four propositions. Three of the propositions were empirically validated and one proposition was revised. The key findings are: one, a lack of recognition by an organization of higher advantages because of SCM adoption as compared to the costs leads to SCM non-adoption. Two, a lack of organizational readiness factors such as a collaborative and innovative culture, higher absorptive capacity and slack resources leads to the non-adoption of SCM. Three, a lack of institutional pressure and marketing activities of the SCM vendors on an organization lead to the non-adoption of SCM. Originality/value The major contribution of the present study is that it has empirically validated the theoretical model for SCM adoption in India. The findings of the present study have both theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, a model of SCM adoption was validated. The study provides managerial connotations for SCM vendors, consultants, practitioners and policy implications for policymakers.
