Mapping the Effect of Supply Chain Management on Financial Performance Using a Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) makes positive contributions to financial performance, although there has been little research on bibliometrics. The purpose of this study is to analyze and map the financial impacts of supply chain management through bibliometric analysis. We used the Scopus database for this research. Several bibliometric methodologies, including research trends, productive contributors, collaboration networks, and research focus areas, are integrated with topics to create an overview. The findings reveal that the literature on supply chain management and financial performance has grown significantly over the past few decades. The contributions of researchers worldwide represent interests that cross geographical boundaries and provide an overview of the global challenges. Mapping the financial impacts of supply chain management using network visualization reveals four clusters of current hot issues. The red cluster primarily focuses on green supply chain management. The light green cluster emphasizes practical implications, while the dark green cluster is dedicated to business improvement. The blue cluster is centered around organizational performance. These findings offer valuable insights into current research trajectories and opportunities for optimizing supply chain management to enhance financial performance.
