In recent years, the interest in sustainable supply chain management has increased significantly in both business and academic areas. This is reflected in the growing number of articles, conferences, special publications and websites devoted to the subject. Nonetheless, sustainable development in emerging economies just started gaining importance. The objective of this article is to review, from a global perspective, the existing literature regarding sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in emerging economies. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was performed, analyzing 56 articles from the year 2010 to April 2020 from a descriptive and content approach. Subsequently, the results are presented, showing the increasing interest in SSCM, however lagging behind in emerging economies’ research versus developed ones. Findings indicate the context in developing countries plays an important role when conducting empirical or case study investigations. Additionally, the integration of the three dimensions of sustainability and how they impact supply chain performance becomes crucial to research from an emerging economy perspective. Consequently, limitations of this work are presented, and opportunities are identified for future lines of research, in particular in key supply chain functions. Finally, the conclusion confirms the need for further research from different supply chain viewpoints, such as collaboration, sustainable practices innovation, sourcing and supplier development from emerging countries’ standpoint and background.

La administración de la cadena de suministro sustentable (sustainable supply chain management o SSCM por sus siglas en inglés) es un tema de investigación que ha cobrado mayor interés en los últimos años; sin embargo, todavía faltan estudios que se enfoquen en la SSCM y en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) con inversión nacional, principalmente en economías emergentes como la mexicana. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión literaria para conocer y comprender la situación en la que se encuentran la SSCM y las pymes mexicanas con inversión nacional. El método de investigación para lograr la revisión y alcanzar el objetivo fue por medio de un análisis de contenido. En síntesis, los resultados demuestran que aún existen varios vacíos teóricos a nivel estratégico, táctico y operacional, por lo cual no es posible generalizar modelos conceptuales y matemáticos, ni tampoco es posible generalizar dicha teoría entre economías emergentes y desarrolladas. En consecuencia, se deben concretar más investigaciones centradas en determinados sectores mexicanos en los que también se puedan considerar diversas metodologías para tener una perspectiva más profunda. Aun así, se puede asegurar que la incentivación de la SSCM en las pymes mexicanas puede generar beneficios económicos, sociales y ambientales para los miembros de la cadena de suministro, dependiendo del sector y del caso de estudio.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to update the work of Carter and Easton (2011), by conducting a systematic review of the sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) literature in the primary logistics and supply chain management journals, during the 2010–2018 timeframe. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology which follows the methodology employed by Carter and Easton (2011). An evaluation of this methodology, using the Modified AMSTAR criteria, demonstrates a high level of empirical validity. Findings The field of SSCM continues to evolve with changes in substantive focus, theoretical lenses, unit of analysis, methodology and type of analysis. However, there are still abundant future research opportunities, including investigating under-researched topics such as diversity and human rights/working conditions, employing the group as the unit of analysis and better addressing empirical validity and social desirability bias. Research limitations/implications The findings result in prescriptions and a broad agenda to guide future research in the SSCM arena. The final section of the paper provides additional avenues for future research surrounding theory development and decision making. Originality/value This SLR provides a rigorous, methodologically valid review of the continuing evolution of empirical SSCM research over a 28-year time period.
