European, Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Conference on Information Systems 2016 (EMCIS2016) June 23 th – 24th 2016, Krakow, Poland 1 MOBILE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: MOVING WHERE? João Barata, CTCV ‒ Technological Centre for Ceramics and Glass, ISMT, and CISUC, University of Coimbra, Portugal, joao@ctcv.pt Paulo Rupino da Cunha, CISUC, Department of Informatics Engineering, University of Coimbra, Portugal, rupino@dei.uc.pt Abstract We present a state-of-the-art on mobile supply chain management (mSCM). A total of 36 articles were analysed using a systematic review process to classify current knowledge, identify trends, and propose recommendations for future research. Three main categories of papers are identified, namely (1) technical, (2) managerial, and (3) domain-specific. We concluded that mSCM is moving towards a complex combination of technologies and models. Moreover, data shows that the managerial and domain-specific aspects of mSCM have received less attention when compared to the technological perspective. Presently, cloud computing, augmented reality, and the Internet of things seem to be three of the topics with the most potential for research in the area of mSCM. As the vision of Industry 4.0 and the digitalization of global markets makes mSCM a priority for organizations worldwide, our recommendations can assist researchers to address some of its crucial socio-technical challenges. Keywords: mSCM, Mobile Supply Chain Management, Mobile Technologies, Systematic Literature Review. 1 INTRODUCTION The industry of the future will demand data acquisition and sharing throughout the supply chain (Brettel & Friederichsen, 2014). This vision for interconnected business services, processes, and information systems (IS), is possible due to exceptional technological developments, especially mobile (Bharadwaj et al., 2013). Yet, these technologies are not useful to companies without systems that support them and without the knowledge on how people use and adapt them (Sanakulov & Karjaluoto, 2015; Paul, 2007). In this paper, we address the emerging results from combining supply chain management and mobile technologies. Brettel and Friederichsen (2014) identified different research streams for the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). On the one hand, they recognize the priority for establishing collaborative networks, supply chain visibility, simultaneous planning of products and processes, and supply chain flexibility. On the other hand, the structure of Industry 4.0 involves cloud computing, Internet of things (IoT) and services, individualized traced data, real-time operating systems, virtualization of the process chain, and end-to-end digital integration. Supply chain management (SCM) can be defined “as the systemic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions and the tactics across these business functions within a particular company and across businesses within the supply chain, for the purposes of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole” (Mentzer et al., 2001, p.18). SCM involves collaboration between the firm, its customers, and suppliers (Casadesús & Castro, 2005), different flows of products and informational objects (Mentzer et al., 2001). Supply chain coordination requires that actors share information and synchronize the decisions to link the processes involved (Simatupang et al., 2004). Coordination, operational planning, and strategic
