基于文献计量的低碳供应链管理研究述评

Review of Research on Low-carbon Supply Chain Management Based on Bibliometrics

碳排放的增加是导致全球变暖的主要元凶,通过供应链上下游企业的协同管理才能更好地实现碳排放的降低。因此有必要对低碳供应链管理的文献进行梳理。选取Web of Science核心合集数据库的数据,从商业经济和运筹学管理科学这两个研究方向对低碳供应链管理的文献进行研究。基本统计分析结果表明,该领域的研究还不够充分,只有少数科研机构的合作较为频繁,作者的贡献分散,合作不多。通过CiteSpace软件共被引网络分析,结合冲击流生成器程序绘制冲击流图,对低碳供应链管理研究的现状、前沿和热点的分析表明,低碳供链管理领域的研究重点不断演变。早期比较关注的是可持续绿色物流和生命周期评估方法的应用。不同碳规制政策对低碳供应链管理的影响和可持续供应链网络设计是低碳供应链管理的研究前沿和研究热点。碳税和碳交易互补下的供应链运营和管理,碳标签制度和消费者低碳购买行为对供应链管理的影响,以及兼顾经济效益和碳排放的全球供应链管理是未来研究的方向。

The increase of carbon emission is the main culprit leading to the global warming.Only through the coordinated carbon management of supply chain s upstream and downstream can carbon emission be reduced better.Therefore,it is necessary to analyze and sort out the literature of low-carbon supply chain management.In the past,most literatures on low-carbon supply chain management were manually reviewed and sorted out,and researchers concluded and summarized the research status and development trend subjectively,lacking quantitative analysis of literature features and cited data.Through the search of related subjects from multiple angles,data from the core collection database of Web of Science were selected to study the literature of low-carbon supply chain management from the two research directions of business economy and operational research management science.Through the statistical analysis of the literature,it can be seen from the number of published papers,the number of citations and the published journals that the research in this field is not enough,and it is worth further research in the field of supply chain management.This is in line with the urgent need to solve social development and environmental problem.As can be seen from the core research institutions and the major countries where the papers were published,the USA and the UK had a greater influence of scientific research in this field,followed by China.Only a handful of research institutions had more frequent collaboration.Through the analysis of core authors,it could be seen that the number of papers published by each core author was small and widely distributed,the reseaerch of low-carbon supply chain management had attracted the attention of many researchers,and there was not much cooperation between them.Acquaye A.A.is one of the most published researchers in the field of low-carbon supply chain management.Then,the co-citation network analysis of the literature was conducted by CiteSpace,including literature clustering analysis,local punctuation,turning point and high-citation literature analysis,and burst literature analysis.Combined with the program of alluvial generator,the alluvial diagram was drawn to analyze the literature that had a lasting impact on this field.Through the above research,the development status,hot spots and frontier of low-carbon supply chain management research were sorted out and analyzed in depth.The results show that the research focus of scholars in the field of low-carbon supply chain management was changing constantly.The early research focused on sustainable green logistics and the application of life cycle assessment.They were research hotspots before 2010.The impact of different carbon regulation policies(mainly including carbon tax and carbon trading)on low-carbon supply chain management(inventory management)and the design of sustainable supply chain network are two research fronts of low-carbon supply chain management.The relevant literatures were published after 2010.And the former research front is closely related to the formulation of carbon tax and carbon trading policies in various countries.Carbon tax and carbon trading are two kinds of carbon regulation policies that are not contradictory.They can be applied in parallel and coordinate with each other.The complementary use of them can better help achieve the carbon emission reduction goal of the supply chain.Therefore,the research focus of low-carbon supply chain management in the future should focus on the supply chain operation and management under the complementary use of carbon tax and carbon trading.With the increase of consumers preference for low-carbon products in the future,the influence of carbon labels on supplier selection and the effect of product carbon label system on supply chain performance are worthy of future research.In addition,global supply chain management with consideration of economic benefits and carbon emission is also the future research direction.Through the study of this paper some references and suggestions were provided for scholars who follow the field,as well as decision-makers of governments and enterprises,and some contributions were made to further research in the future.
