“…Based on the contributions of Tranfield et al [33], Denyer and Tranfield [39] and Rousseau et al [37] in this study we define five phases: (1) problem formulation and question identification; (2) literature search; (3) evaluation of research; (4) research analysis and interpretation; and (5) presentation of results. This set of phases represents a process that is replicable, transparent, objective, unbiased, and rigorous [40]. Therefore, it strengthens the research on MMs used in SC sustainability, serving as a unified, verifiable, and trustworthy source for further research [41].…”

Maturity Models in Supply Chain Sustainability: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2017

Abstract:A systematic literature review of supply chain maturity models with sustainability concerns is presented. The objective is to give insights into methodological issues related to maturity models, namely the research objectives; the research methods used to develop, validate and test them; the scope; and the main characteristics associated with their design. The literature review was performed based on journal articles and conference papers from 2000 to 2015 using the SCOPUS, Emerald Insight, EBSCO and Web of Science databases. Most of the analysed papers have as main objective the development of maturity models and their validation. The case study is the methodology that is most widely used by researchers to develop and validate maturity models. From the sustainability perspective, the scope of the analysed maturity models is the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and environmental dimension, focusing on a specific process (eco-design and new product development) and without a broad SC perspective. The dominant characteristics associated with the design of the maturity models are the maturity grids and a continuous representation. In addition, results do not allow identifying a trend for a specific number of maturity levels. The comprehensive review, analysis, and synthesis of the maturity model literature represent an important contribution to the organization of this research area, making possible to clarify some confusion that exists about concepts, approaches and components of maturity models in sustainability. Various aspects associated with the maturity models (i.e., research objectives, research methods, scope and characteristics of the design of models) are explored to contribute to the evolution and significance of this multidimensional area.

Abstract. In today's expansion of new technologies, innovation is found necessary for organizations to be up to date with the latest management trends. Although organizations are increasingly using new technologies, opportunities still exist to achieve the nowadays essential omnichannel management strategy. More precisely, social media are opening a path for benefiting more from an organization's process orientation. However, social media strategies are still an under-investigated field, especially when it comes to the research of social media use for the management and improvement of business processes or the internal way of working in organizations. By classifying a variety of articles, this study explores the evolution of social media implementation within the BPM discipline. We also provide avenues for future research and strategic implications for practitioners to use social media more comprehensively.

“…This is even though many authors in different disciplines have been critical of the systematic review (Clegg, 2005;Denzin, 2009;Dixon-Woods et al, 2006;Evans & Pearson, 2001;Hammersley, 2001;Larner, 2004;Morrell, 2008;Roberts, 2000;Suri, 2013). There is no mention of these criticisms-what one might call counterfactual or contradictory "evidence"-in Briner and Walshe's review, and no hint that there has been criticism of the systematic review approach (see also more recently, Boell & Cecez-Kecmanovic, 2015). In other words, their review exemplifies the very sort of cherry-picking it ostensibly condemns.…”
