“…Out of the 21 research works reported in Table AII, research on SCI approaches from: It appears that major focus on integrating SC has been from the process and technological perspective. The latter findings are supported by the works of Mukhtar (2014), who highlights that one of the most significant technological enabler that will provide SC with the much-needed advantage over their competitors is widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT). Christiaanse and Kumar (2000) further accentuate that the availability of highly flexible and cost-effective ICT, for example the Internet, presents new opportunities in restructuring the SC for superior performance.…”

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to focus on systematically analysing and synthesising the extant research published on supply chain integration (SCI) area, given the significance of SCI research area. More specifically, the authors aim to answer three questions: "Q1 -What are the factors (e.g. both driving and inhibiting) that influence SCI?", "Q2 -What are the key developments (e.g. both in research and industry) in SCI area?" and "Q3 -What are the approaches employed/discussed to integrate supply chains?". Over the past decade, SCI has gained increasing attention in the supply chain management (SCM) context, both from the practitioners' perspective and as a research area. In realising the global transformations and competitive business environment, a number of organisations are collaborating with their supply chain (SC) partners, to conduct seamless SC operations. Design/methodology/approach -A systematic and structured literature review is carried out to observe and understand the past trends and extant patterns/themes in the SCI research area, evaluate contributions and summarise knowledge, thereby identifying limitations, implications and potential directions of further research. Thus, to trace the implementation of SCI practices, a profiling approach is used to analyse 293 articles (published in English-speaking peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2013) extracted from the Scopus database. The Systematic Review Approach proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003) was followed to analyse and synthesise the extant literature on SCI area. Findings -The analysis presented in this paper has identified relevant SCI research studies that have contributed to the development and accumulation of intellectual wealth to the SCI and SCM area. Each of the 293 papers was examined for achieving the aim and objectives of the research, the method of data collection, the data analysis method and quality measures. While some of the papers provided information on all of these categories, most of them failed to provide all the information, especially for Q2 and Q3 that resulted in 23 and 21 papers, respectively. Research limitations/implications -This study would have benefited from the analysis of furthe...
