PurposeUsing bibliometric, this work aims to evaluate the current status of the body of research on the subject of supply chain resilience (SCR) in developing nations and to provide recommendations for potential lines of inquiry for additional research.Design/methodology/approachThree hundred and thirty-six articles published between 2011 and 2021 were retrieved in Scopus for this bibliometric analysis. This analysis focuses on SCR research conducted in developing countries, highlighting its key authors, countries, institutions, journals, articles and themes.FindingsThis bibliometric review seeks to enrich the discourse on SCR in developing nations through a comprehensive and detailed review of 336 articles covering 138 Journals, 73 countries, 877 authors, 743 organizations and 1,145 author keywords. The United Kingdom, India, and the United States provided a substantial share of the publications. Publication-wise, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and The University of Hong Kong play key roles. The author found that supply chain risk management, sustainability, agile management, artificial intelligence and blockchain are trending topics. Additionally, the author identified eight themes by page rank analysis.Practical implicationsThis study's importance lies primarily in its examination of the current information about SCR in developing countries and significant cluster areas (themes). In the paths, it recommends for further study, which academics may take, and industry professionals should apply in their businesses to create a more resilient and sustainable supply chain.Originality/valueBased on published studies, this study gives exploratory data on SCR in developing countries context. This is first of its kind bibliometric study that focuses on developing countries.
Predictable and unexpected events have long threatened the continuity and profitability of supply chains, especially multinational ones. Human-made catastrophes and natural tragedies can cause supply chain interruptions. Several events, such as the earthquakes in Gujarat (2001). The COVID-19 epidemic has thrown demand and supply into disarray, and most businesses have yet to devise a strategy for enhancing their resilience and recovery. Industry 4.0 refers to a series of technologies, principles, and methods to make manufacturing systems more autonomous, evolving, adaptable, and precise. The proposed hypotheses is the impact of Industry 4.0 practices have positive impact on supply chain resilience and different Artificial Intelligence techniques are incorporated that have positive impact on supply chain resilience. The findings of the study indicates that Industry 4.0 technologies, i.e Artificial Intelligence, has a substantial influence on supply chain and its resilience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
