MANAGING RETAIL SUPPLY CHAINS: A LITERATURE-BASED REVIEW ON RISK FACTORS, SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Keywords:
Digitalization, Resilience, Supply Chain, Risk Management, SustainabilityAbstract
This systematic literature review investigates the evolving landscape of Retail Supply Chain Management (RSCM), focusing on the triadic themes of risk, sustainability, and digital integration. Employing the PRISMA framework and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis, 32 peer-reviewed articles from 2020–2025 were synthesized to uncover prevailing research patterns and thematic gaps. The findings reveal a temporal shift in scholarly focus—from foundational topics such as pricing optimization and channel coordination to emerging areas involving artificial intelligence, blockchain, and green logistics. Thematic analysis highlights persistent definitional ambiguities in RSCM and identifies fragmented treatment of risk, digitalization, and sustainability across the literature. Notably, most studies examine these themes in isolation, overlooking their interdependencies and combined impact on supply chain resilience and strategic alignment. This review proposes that future research should adopt integrative frameworks that simultaneously address technological advancement, environmental accountability, and risk mitigation. It also offers actionable insights for practitioners seeking to build adaptive, transparent, and ethically sustainable supply chains. By bridging thematic silos, this study contributes to a more holistic understanding of RSCM and sets a foundation for theoretical innovation and practical transformation in the retail sector.References
