Abstract

In recent years, Supply Chain Management (SCM) in general and SCM information systems in particular have raised growing interest among researchers from various knowledge areas, such as information systems, artificial intelligence, simulation, telecommunications, economics and business management, among others. Based upon a recent academic literature analysis that we have undertaken, and which updates a prior one, in this paper we provide a focused analysis of previous research in SCM systems, before providing an initial tentative list of potential research issues that we consider worth studying. To our knowledge, there is no published research agenda on SCM systems that contrasts with the mentioned research interest in the area and with the big amounts of projects and money that companies around the world are dedicating to SCM projects. For better understanding, we have classified the emerging research topics along the lines of a proposed life cycle framework.
