Abstract

Since the dawn of new millennium, sustainable procurement (SP) has captivated the attention of scholars worldwide. In this context, this paper provides a critical analysis of SP research trend in supply chain management (SCM) journals. The analysis has been carried out using existing literature of SP research contributed by the authors and institutions from assorted countries. Specifically, the research tendency of SP in SCM is identified through a systematic analysis of sustainable procurement research articles published in ten selected SCM journals from 1990 to 2016. The analysis revealed that SP research has an increasing trend in recent times, indicating its widely growing significance. The research topics covered in this paper to focus on the sustainability issues of procurement practices are sustainability issues on the network of supply chain, foundation, SP process, and enablers as well as the determinant of SP. This comprehensive study provides practical insights to researchers and industrialists on the nature and scope of SP in SCM.

可持续采购:供应链管理期刊研究趋势的批判性分析

进入新世纪以来，可持续采购受到了世界各国学者的广泛关注。在此背景下，本文对供应链管理(SCM)期刊的SP研究趋势进行了批判性分析。分析是利用来自不同国家的作者和机构贡献的现有SP研究文献进行的。具体而言，通过对1990年至2016年发表在10份精选供应链期刊上的可持续采购研究文章的系统分析，确定了可持续采购在供应链管理中的研究趋势。分析表明，SP研究近年来呈上升趋势，其意义日益广泛。本文所涵盖的关于采购实践的可持续性问题的研究主题是供应链网络的可持续性问题，基础，SP过程，使能因素以及SP的决定因素。这项全面的研究为研究人员和实业家提供了关于供应链中SP的性质和范围的实际见解。
