Abstract

In both the business and academic arenas, there has been a significant increase in interest in sustainable supply chain management in recent decades. It is addressed in the growing number of articles, conferences, special publications, and websites dedicated to the subject. Sustainable development, on the other hand, has just recently begun to gain traction in emerging economies. From a global perspective, the goal of this essay is to examine the extant research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in emerging economies. For this objective, a complete literature review was undertaken utilising a descriptive and content methodology on 39 papers published between 2007 and April 2020.


The findings are then shown, revealing that while SSCM is gaining popularity, emerging economies are lagging behind industrialised ones in terms of research. The findings demonstrate that the context is crucial when conducting empirical or case study research in developing countries. Furthermore, in the context of a growing economy, the integration of the three pillars of sustainability, as well as how they affect supply chain performance, becomes increasingly important to investigate. As a result, the work's flaws are examined, and further research opportunities, particularly in critical supply chain positions, are suggested.


Finally, the conclusion emphasizes the need for more research into various aspects of the supply chain, such as collaboration, sustainable practices innovation, sourcing, and supplier growth from the perspective of rising countries.
