Digital Transformation in Supply Chain Management: A Bibliometric Analysis

[EN] In an era dominated by digital advancements, Supply Chain Management (SCM) is undergoing significant transformations. This study aims to outline a digitally-enabled SCM framework by examining prevalent research themes, methodologies, collaboration models, and groundbreaking contributions. Leveraging bibliometric analysis techniques, 600 articles from 2002 to 2023, sourced from 3 top databases, was conducted using CiteSpace for keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and emerging term evaluations. The research identifies three distinct phases in this field: initial, incremental, and accelerated, with a notable surge in research activity post-2017, particularly after 2019. China, the US, and the UK are major contributors. Dominant topics include technology integration, efficiency, globalization challenges, strategic management, and sustainability. The study reveals limited collaboration among authors but highlights influential scholars. Given the centrality of DT, it emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary exploration and consideration of rapidly evolving digital paradigms in future research endeavors.
