Abstract

There is more than 25 years of research done in the field of logistics and supply chain coordination, cooperation and collaboration. With the means of citation and co-citation analysis by using the software tools HistCite and VOSviewer we present a bibliometric mapping in order to characterise the intellectual foundation of this body of research. Our results show a dominance of logistics/supply chain coordination research with an emphasis on formal-analytical analysis of supply chain inventory management, contracting and pricing. Independently from this, there is an empirical, theory-driven stream on logistics/supply chain cooperation and collaboration.
