ABSTRACT

Purpose This paper presents an integrated view of the literature published on all aspects and facets of competence in supply chain management (SCM) and furthermore provides a framework for classifying and analyzing literature to facilitate further study, practice, and research. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review identified 98 peer-reviewed scientific journal publications on the subject of competence in SCM. Findings This review identifies and classifies the key content of the subject based on whose competence (level of analysis) and the type of competence (competence element), resulting in a framework that brings together aspects at the individual and organizational level, and of the functional, relational, managerial, and behavioral elements of competence from the SCM literature. It furthermore displays the timeliness and wide-ranging character of the subject, as presented by the evolutionary timeline and the main research streams. Research limitations/implications Although competence in SCM is a key to business success, the subject is ambiguous and an explicit need exists for more research. This paper provides a foundation for future examination of and theory building in this subject. It also alerts researchers to complementary studies outside of their own “customary” domains. Practical implications This paper can support managers in their pursuit to secure competence in SCM and thereby improve outcomes on both individual and organizational level. It can furthermore assist in the development of relevant programs and training sessions. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first systematic literature review on the subject of competence in SCM. In addition, it proposes a taxonomy for mapping and evaluating research on this subject.

6. CONCLUSIONS

This paper provides an integrated view of competence in the SCM field by providing a framework for identification and classification of the key content of the subject. A systematic literature review was conducted to develop a more coherent body of knowledge and provide a cohesive view of the fragmented and diverse landscape of the literature on competence in SCM.

6.1. Implications for research Of significance, the results help to resolve the present ambiguity and complexity of the concept of competence in the SCM literature. This work furthermore provides an important foundation for future examination of the subject and for building theories in the area, and propose a significant number of suggestions for future research that awaits attention from scholars from various disciplines. Moreover, the results alert researchers to complementary studies outside their own “customary” domains of expertise. Thus, this work makes important contributions to the understanding and development of the research field of competence in SCM. The key contributions of this work to the literature are:

• identification of methodologies, research streams, and the evolutionary timeline of literature on competence in SCM;

• classification of literature according to level of analysis (i.e., whose competence) and elements of competence (i.e., the type of competence);

• development of a framework to present aspects and facets of competence in the SCM literature;

• implications for future research.
