Abstract
The primary objective of this research paper is to conduct a comprehensive and systematic literature review (SLR) focusing on Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices that promote Circular Economy (CE), sustainability, and resilience through adopting emerging digital technologies. A SLR of 130 research articles published between 1991 and 2023 was used to analyze emerging trends in CE, supply chain management (SCM), and digitalization. This study meticulously examined research publication patterns, the intricate themes explored, influential scholars, leading countries, and substantial scientific contributions that have shaped this multifaceted domain. This paper contributed to the collective understanding of how SSCM practices, driven by the principles of CE and empowered by the adoption of digital technologies, foster sustainability, resilience, and innovation within contemporary SCs. The research findings presented herein are primarily based on an analysis of the current literature from only Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, which may restrict the generalizability of implementing these results. Based on this study, organizations and practitioners can assess the maturity of their SCM practices, gauge the resilience and digitalization levels of their SCs, and align them with academic literature trends. This enables practitioners to bridge the gap between scholarly advancements and real-world SCM implementation. Through its systematic review, the study provides a structured literature review that offers a collective understanding of SSCM practices driven by CE principles and empowered by digital technologies. This understanding enables sustainability, resilience, and innovation within contemporary SCs, benefiting academicians and practitioners.
期刊介绍:
Operations Management Research is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on rapidly publishing high-quality research in the field of operations management. It aims to advance both the theory and practice of operations management across a wide range of topics and research paradigms. The journal covers all aspects of operations management, including manufacturing, supply chain, health care, and service operations. It welcomes various research methodologies, such as case studies, action research, surveys, mathematical modeling, and simulation. The goal of Operations Management Research is to promote research that enhances both the theory and practice of operations management, as it is an applied discipline. The journal also publishes Academic Notes, which are special papers that address research methodologies, the direction of the operations management field, and other topics of interest to academicians. Additionally, there is a demand for shorter and more focused research articles in operations management, which this journal aims to fulfill.
