Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to synthesize the fragmented extant knowledge on flexible and green supply chain management (FGSCM) in the context of emerging economies and to unearth research gaps to motivate future research. We adopted a novel structured systematic literature review by triangulating a systematic literature review, text mining, and network analysis. Institutional theory and contingency theory were employed to analyze the results of the review. The results show that, firstly, research on FGSCM in emerging economies, despite its importance, is immature compared to general FGSCM literature. Second, the specificities of strategies and practices that distinguish this topic in emerging economies are discussed and the drivers and barriers are identified with respect to sources of institutional pressure. Third, a research framework for FGSCM in emerging economies is developed and 12 gaps for future research are identified. This study has exclusively developed a research framework for FGSCM in an emerging economy which has received the least consideration in the literature and practice. The framework was developed to synthesize the existing literature and to identify the research gaps to inspire future research.
摘要:
本研究的目的是在新兴经济体的背景下,综合现有的关于灵活和绿色供应链管理(FGSCM)的零散知识,并挖掘研究差距以激励未来的研究。我们通过对系统文献综述进行三角剖分,采用了一种新颖的结构化系统文献综述,文本挖掘,和网络分析。运用制度理论和权变理论对审查结果进行了分析。结果表明,首先,新兴经济体FGSCM研究,尽管它很重要,与一般的FGSCM文献相比是不成熟的。第二,讨论了在新兴经济体中区分这一主题的战略和实践的特殊性,并确定了机构压力来源的驱动因素和障碍。第三,制定了新兴经济体FGSCM的研究框架,并确定了未来研究的12个空白。本研究专门为新兴经济体中的FGSCM开发了一个研究框架,该框架在文献和实践中得到了最少的考虑。该框架的开发是为了综合现有文献,并确定研究差距,以激发未来的研究。
