Selecting Theoretical Models for IT and Supply Chain through a Bibliometric Research

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the major works in IT and supply chain and selecting the main theoretical models for analysis. A literature search was performed on the major knowledge bases to determine and select the conceptual models being used. This resulted in the choice of Gunasekaran et al model. SCOR (https://supply-chain.org) and GSCF (http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/scforum). As a result, we analyze these three mentioned models. The research is important because it provided a bibliographical study on the use of information technology in managing supply chain by means of theoretical models. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014.
