Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos e Sustentabilidade: um estudo bibliométrico da produção científica na base Web of Science

Abstract

Este artigo analisou as características das publicações relacionadas aos temas Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos e Sustentabilidade. A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados Web of Science da ISI Web of Knowledge, procurando identificar as principais áreas temáticas, autores, tipos de documentos, título das fontes, ano das publicações, instituições, idiomas e países destas publicações, assim como a identificação dos "hot topics" relacionados aos tópicos "Supply Chain Management and Sustainability" e relacionou as publicações mais citadas com os autores que mais publicam na temática pesquisada. A análise dos dados teve por base os cálculos dos índices h-b e m de Banks (2006). De acordo com os resultados deste estudo, o número de publicações cresceu de forma significativa no período analisado, concentrando-se nos Estados Unidos, com 99% das publicações escritas no idioma inglês tendo como principal fonte o periódico Journal of Cleaner Production, e como principais temas: Business Economics (Economia) e Engineering (Engenharia). Dentre os 20 tópicos combinados com o tema pesquisado, Management (Gestão) e Performance (Desempenho) se destacaram como "hot topics".Constatou-se ainda que a publicação com o maior número de citações, sendo uma referencia na temática pesquisada não pertence aos autores que mais publicam sobre o mesmo tema. PALAVRAS-CHAVES:Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos, Sustentabilidade, Pesquisa Bibliométrica. MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND SUSTAINABILITY: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY OF SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION IN WEB OF SCIENCE ABSTRACTThis paper analyzed the characteristics of publications related to the topics of Supply Chain Management and Sustainability. The research was conducted in the database Web of Science from ISI Web of Knowledge, identifying the main thematic areas, authors, document types, sources of title, year of publication, institutions, countries and languages of these publications, as well as identifying the "hot topics" related to topics "Supply Chain Management and Sustainability" and listed the most cited publications with authors that are published in thematic searched. Data analysis was based on the index calculations in h-b Banks (2006). According to the results of this study, the number of publications has grown significantly over the period analyzed, focusing on the United States, with 99% of the articles written in the English language and its main source the Journal of Cleaner Production, and as principal subjects: Business Economics (Economics) and Engineering (Engineering). Among the 20 topics combined with the research topic, Management (Management) and Performance (Performance) stood out as "hot topics". It was further observed that the publication with the largest number of citations, and a reference in the subject does not belong to the searched authors that are published on the same topic.

The State of Research on Cleaner Production in Brazil

“…According to Leonidou and Leonidou (2011), the analysis of thematics seeks to identify the primary subjects, making it possible to suggest directions for future studies and to assess the knowledge of a specific thematic (Barrios, Borrego, Vilaginés, Ollé, & Somoza, 2008). The subjects studied by the authors included the following: technology, knowledge, science, and evolution and policy (Radosevic, 2008); competitive advantage and sustainable supply chains (Brito & Berardi, 2010); green supply chains (Brito & Berardi, 2010;Jung, 2011;Rocha, Rocha, Rosa, Camargo, Zamberlan, & Gomes, 2013); sustainability (Avila, Madruga, Zamberlan, & Barros, 2013;Rocha et al, 2013); environmental management (Leonidou & Leonidou, 2011); sustainable innovation (Kneipp, Rosa, Bichueti, Madruga, & Schuch, 2011); design processes and design cognition (Chai & Xiao, 2012); environmental disclosure and environmental accounting (Rosa, Ensslin, Ensslin, & Lunkes, 2012a); and water (Avila et al, 2013). …”

“…With regard to green supply chain management, the University Kassel (9) published the most articles, and Dalian University Technology (4) published the least. Then, the country with the most publications was the United States (81), while Brazil (7) had the fewest publications (Rocha et al, 2013 Of the universities that published the most articles, two were American, six were Asian, one was European and one was Brazilian. Furthermore, the United States (1,799) published the most articles, and Italy (201) published the least (Du et al, 2013).…”

Sustainable Supply Chain Management: a Literature review on Brazilian publications

“…In Brazil, many studies have discussed the importance of sustainability management in business (Junqueira, Maior & Pinheiro, 2011;Pereira et al, 2011;Silva et al, 2011). However, when it comes to linking sustainability dimensions to SCM, only a few studies address this topic (Abdalla & Barbieri, 2014;Adaime, Carvalho & Monzoni, 2011;Gonçalves-Dias, Labegalini & Csillag, 2012;Rocha et al, 2012). Considering this, our paper seeks to contribute to current discussions by analyzing the publications that approximate sustainability management to SCM.…”

“…This perspective considers that sustainability can be examined from organizational relationships, referring to human aspects (social) and environmental factors that are part of the whole process and not just the result generated by a specific vision. From a more operational perspective, there is still a focus on organizational development and performance (Rocha et al, 2012). As mentioned in the theoretical discussion, Seuring and Müller (2008) present the possibility of changes in the relations of the supply chain according to strategies for suppliers and products (Seuring & Müller, 2008).…”
