e-supply chain collaboration: a review

Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) can be defined as the collaborative activities between buyers and suppliers, including production and procurement planning, new product development, supply chain monitoring and control. In SCC, the importance of information integration using electronic tools is widely recognised, thus we can talk of eSCC (eSupply Chain Collaboration). The low diffusion of these practices indicates that among companies there is a lack of perception of their potential benefits. This paves the way for this study that concerns a literature review to present the extant knowledge on the topic of eSCC and to provide an agenda for future works.
