Abstract
Since its introduction as a concept in the 1980s, supply chain management
(SCM) has undergone significant modification and expansion. A qualitative
analysis of 166 unique definitions of SCM published in the literature
identified three major themes associated with the supply chain and
SCM: (1) activities; (2) benefits; and (3) constituents/components.
Utilizing these themes, key research questions and issues within
the supply chain and SCM are identified that could be examined by
marketing scholars.
