Supply Chain Integration: A Bibliometric Analysis

This paper examines the intellectual foundation of supply chain integration (SCI) and presents the most influential papers and authors of this research domain. The paper displays a visualization of the results of citation and co-citation analysis by using the software packages HistCite and VosViewer. The results of our analyses display a profound theoretical foundation of SCI embedded in a clearly defined theoretical field driven by the dynamic capability, relational as well as resource-based view. SCI research is further driven by empirical-quantitative research looking at the effects of SCI on firm performance.
