Where is supply chain resilience research heading? A systematic and co-occurrence analysis

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to algorithmically and objectively investigate the previous literature on supply chain resilience (SCR) and advance theory by synthesizing new research domains. Design/methodology/approach A two-staged analysis approach, integrating systematic literature review (SLR) with VOSviewer co-occurrence analysis, was applied to the articles published between 2003 and 2018. Findings The authors find exponential growth in the literature on SCR over the last decade; however, there is still a gap for empirical research on numerous drivers, barriers, theories, moderators, mediators and research methods intertwined in building SCR. Research limitations/implications The review identifies major clusters in which SCR research is conducted and devises a future research agenda based on the findings of co-occurrence analysis. Practical implications The findings provide managers with a broad spectrum of factors that are indispensable to build resilience and inform business policy. Originality/value While some SLRs exist in the current literature of SCR, the authors undertake a unique analytical perspective, resulting in an idiosyncratic set of research domains for further investigation in the area.

Towards Supply Chain Visibility Using Internet of Things: A Dyadic Analysis Review

“…A more rigorous and well-defined scientific approach is used in a systematic review, in contrast to a traditional literature review, to critically analyse the prior literature on a specific research area [ 34 , 35 ]. To conduct a systematic literature review on the impacts of IoT on SCV, an in-depth analysis of existing journal articles was carried out, beginning with determining the number of keywords for online search and online databases identification, following [ 36 ] and [ 37 ]. The whole selection process is carried out scientifically without the authors’ biases; the overall systematic literature review process is presented in Figure 1 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram.…”

“…This search relied on the four central online databases, and these included EmeraldInsight, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis, and Web of Science ( Table 1 ). The rationale behind these libraries’ adoption is that they are the most extensive and are more reliable libraries for extracting relevant academic journals [ 37 ].…”

Managing operational risks through knowledge sharing infoodsupply chains

“…In addition to the basic conceptualization of supply chain risk, unprecedented growth in literature on the performance impact of supply chain risk is evident. However, despite considerable advances most of the studies are either conceptual, non‐industry specific, normative, anecdotal or offer projection based mathematical models (Ali et al, 2018; Ali & Golgeci, 2019; Ho, Zheng, Yildiz, & Talluri, 2015). Although previous research has repeatedly highlighted the criticality of operational risks such as supply and demand mismatch, forecasting error, machine breakdown and high cost of business (Jiang et al, 2009; Kleindorfer & Saad, 2005; Lockamy & McCormack, 2010; Manuj & Mentzer, 2008; Sodhi, Son, & Tang, 2012; Wagner, Mizgier, & Papageorgiou, 2017), there is a lack of broad empirical evidence on the extent to which these risks undermine SCP, particularly in the context of FSCs.…”

Influence of Organisational Culture on Supply Chain Resilience: A Power and Situational Strength Conceptual Perspective

“…Two additional definitions considered in this paper are: "the ability of a supply chain to return to normal operating performance, within an acceptable period of time, after being disturbed" (Brandon-Jones et al 2014); and "In disaster relief supply networks, resilience encompasses conducting preparation, response, and recovery activities for a disaster event" (Day 2014). Ali and Gölgeci (2019) comment that there is a lack of theoretical breadth in supply chain resilience (SCRES) research, and that future studies should look to utilise a number of theories to "explore their complementary characteristics . .…”
