Purpose

Using an abductive perspective, this study aims to review the scientific literature about the governance and management of the digital supply chain (DSC) in the context of the business organizations, providing an overview of the state of the art of the research and outlining a future research agenda with a knowledge management (KM) focus.

Design/methodology/approach

After investigating the Scopus database, 54 articles were identified as relevant and then subjected to an initial discernment. After this assessment, 34 articles focusing on operations management were further analyzed through both a bibliometric analysis and a content analysis.

Findings

The DSC represents a research area of increasing attention, with relevant contributions to several aspects of the field, as well as about KM. At the same time, the results show that the scientific literature on DSC models, solutions and applications is fragmented. Although the analysis has found a heterogeneous literature, two main streams of research seem to emerge: KM in the business culture development about DSC and KM in the business technological evolution about DSC.

Originality/value

Although there exists growing interest in the scientific community, or perhaps because of this, area of research remains fragmented and under-theorized, thus requiring more systematic studies considering both economic and social aspects of the DSC. This study aims to provide innovative insights about this evolution, especially highlighting the two main contributions of KM in DSCs that have been revealed (business culture development and business technological evolution).

知识管理对数字供应链的影响——文献计量文献综述

目的

本研究使用溯因的视角，旨在回顾有关商业组织背景下数字供应链 (DSC) 治理和管理的科学文献，概述研究的最新进展并概述未来以知识管理 (KM) 为重点的研究议程。

设计/方法/途径

在调查 Scopus 数据库后，54 篇文章被确定为相关，然后进行初步辨别。评估之后，通过文献计量分析和内容分析对 34 篇专注于运营管理的文章进行了进一步分析。

发现

DSC 代表了一个越来越受到关注的研究领域，对该领域的几个方面以及知识管理做出了相关贡献。同时，结果表明关于 DSC 模型、解决方案和应用的科学文献是零散的。尽管分析发现了不同的文献，但似乎出现了两个主要的研究流：关于 D​​SC 的商业文化发展中的 KM 和关于 DSC 的商业技术演变中的 KM。

原创性/价值

尽管科学界越来越感兴趣，或许正因为如此，研究领域仍然分散且理论化不足，因此需要考虑 DSC 的经济和社会方面的更系统的研究。本研究旨在提供有关这种演变的创新见解，特别是强调知识管理在已揭示的 DSC 中的两个主要贡献（商业文化发展和商业技术演变）。
