Abstract

The concept of a business ecosystem (BE) is gaining attention among scholars in many fields, including supply chain management (SCM) literature. This paper aims to examine the BE concept in SCM literature, reveal research streams and research gaps. By conducting a systematic literature review and a thematic analysis, we revealed eight main research streams: sustainability, digitalisation, ecosystem architecture, collaboration and trust, ecosystem lifecycle, complexity and risks, financial performance and indicators, and services. Topics of sustainability and digitalisation represent the most widely researched BE topics in the SCM literature. The study also revealed significant research gaps, both at the company (micro) level and at the BE and policy (macro) level, that need to be addressed in future studies. The study extends the SCM view beyond the dyadic relationships and opens the possibilities for future research in the field of SCM and BEs.
