On the Inattention to Digital Confidentiality in Operations and Supply Chain Research
指出运营与供应链管理领域对数字保密性关注不足，可能导致损害保密性的建议，并整合文献缺口提出研究机会和行业实践，呼吁将其作为绩效维度。
Digital assets are growing in scale, scope, and importance, amplifying the necessity to maintain their confidentiality. Yet, digital confidentiality has received vastly less research attention from operations and supply chain management (OSCM) scholars than cost, quality, flexibility, delivery, and innovation. We contend that this lack of attention has, at least partly, produced recommendations that ultimately could harm digital confidentiality performance. To guide future research, we synthesize relevant gaps across the OSCM and information systems literatures and discuss relevant OSCM research opportunities. Many of these opportunities are articulated as propositions. We also discuss contemporary industry practices aimed at upholding digital confidentiality. We call for the OSCM community to consistently and explicitly examine digital confidentiality as a performance dimension, and argue that failure to heed this call will be detrimental to our field's influence and relevance as digital assets continue to increase in value relative to physical ones.
