Sustainable Retail Supply Chain Management – A Bibliometric Viewpoint

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the research domain of sustainable retail supply chain management (SRSCM). Sustainability is a multi-dimensional construct trying to balance social, environmental as well as economic objectives simultaneously. By using citation and co-citation analysis we are able to illustrate the intellectual foundation and roots of this field of research. Our results show that the research domain of SRSCM is embedded in a number of various research sub disciplines including sustainability, retail, logistics, operations and supply chain management as well as the consumer side of supply chain.
