Supply Chain Management: A Structured Literature Review and Implications for Future Research

TL;DR: The field of supply chain management (SCM) has historically been informed by knowledge from narrow functional areas as discussed by the authors, and while some effort towards producing a broader organizational perspective has been made, nonetheless, SCM continues to be largely eclectic with little consensus on its conceptualization and research methodological bases.
