“…Relatively little research has been conducted on the ES-SCM interdependence [2,12,91], although the performance of SCM is well researched [4,8,11,15,24,30,34,43,82,83] as is the performance of ES [1,2,5,22,25,46,57,59,64,71]. To better understand the process of information transfer between ES and SCM, we first describe the structure of an ES using Møller's conceptual framework [54], discuss a few different types of relationships observed between ES and SCM/SCMS and then investigate the need for ES to support SCM.…”
