Abstract

Purpose The literature on knowledge management in sustainable supply chain (KMSSC) has witnessed significant growth in the past two decades. However, a scientometric review that consolidates the primary trends and clusters within this topic has been notably absent. This paper aims to scrutinize recent advancements and identify the intellectual underpinnings of KMSSC research conducted between 2002 and 2022. Design/methodology/approach The present review employs a scientometric analysis approach via visualization maps of prolific contributions, co-citation, co-occurrence and thematic networks to examine a total of 114 articles and conference papers on KMSSC. Findings Emerging research frontiers and hotspots are revealed and a state-of-the-art framework of KMSSC research structure is developed. Practical implications The review provides significant implications that guide KMSSC research and better inform sustainability decisions in the supply chain context. Originality/value To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first review to thoroughly synthesize the intersected domain of KMSSC using scientometric analysis.

揭示可持续发展之路:可持续供应链中的知识管理二十年-科学计量分析和可视化之旅

在过去的二十年里，关于可持续供应链知识管理的文献有了显著的增长。然而，在这一主题中整合主要趋势和集群的科学计量学综述明显缺失。本文旨在审视2002年至2022年间KMSSC研究的最新进展，并确定其知识基础。设计/方法/方法本综述采用科学计量学分析方法，通过多产贡献、共被引、共发生和专题网络的可视化地图，研究了114篇关于KMSSC的文章和会议论文。研究结果揭示了新兴的研究前沿和热点，并形成了KMSSC研究结构的最新框架。该综述为指导KMSSC研究和更好地为供应链背景下的可持续性决策提供了重要的启示。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一次使用科学计量分析全面综合KMSSC交叉领域的综述。

期刊介绍： Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
