Systematic literature reviews in purchasing and supply management research: a tertiary study
by Simon Hochrein; Christoph H. Glock
International Journal of Integrated Supply Management (IJISM), Vol. 7, No. 4, 2012

Abstract: This paper studies systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in purchasing and supply management (PSM) research. First, a process-oriented framework for conducting SLRs in PSM research is developed and criteria for evaluating SLRs in this domain are defined. Subsequently, the framework is applied in a case study and the state of the art of reviewing the literature in PSM research is presented and evaluated. The results of our study show that literature reviews are becoming more and more popular in the PSM domain, but that reviews in this area often lack methodological rigour. The framework presented in this paper may assist researchers in writing high-quality SLRs in PSM research in the future.
