A decade of Artificial Intelligence for supply chain collaboration : past, present, and future research agenda

Due to its transformative potential, artificial intelligence is considered to be of growing importance for supply networks. As supply chain management faces a multitude of challenges, innovative organizational and technological concepts are required. As the application of artificial intelligence for supply chain collaboration has increased over the last years, a comprehensive overview of past and current developments in this heterogeneous and fragmented field could provide relevant insights into the main research streams and their developments. This paper presents a systematic literature review comprising 83 articles to assess the last decade of research and application of artificial intelligence for supply chain collaboration. The review adds clarity and richness to the field by enabling researchers and practitioners to navigate this topic and by facilitating the identification of future research avenues. The review outcomes are summarized in a conceptual framework of artificial intelligence inspired supply chain collaboration and a research agenda is derived.
