Platformization in operations and supply chain management: A bibliometric-systematic literature review with content analyses
通过文献计量和内容分析，梳理了运营与供应链管理中平台化研究的402篇论文，归纳出13个关键研究领域和5大主题，揭示了研究趋势和前沿方向，为学者提供了系统化的知识图谱。
Platformization, the integration of Internet-driven platforms into the fabric of an application ecosystem, has gained substantial momentum across economic, governance, and infrastructure domains. However, research topics and directions in platformization are scattered and lack a systematic framework, which hinders the progress of platformization research in an era of rapid technological innovation. This paper comprehensively reviews the platformization literature in operations and supply chain management (OSCM), identifying research gaps, addressing the fragmented state of platformization literature, and promoting platformization innovation. Using bibliometric knowledge mapping, we analyze 402 journal articles and identify 13 key research areas. An in-depth content analysis based on 168 papers is conducted to identify five research themes: platformization in collaborative manufacturing, platformization in operational decisions, platformization in sustainability in supply chains, platformization in e-commerce supply chains, and platformization in technology innovation in supply chains. Using CiteSpace, we conduct author analysis, institution analysis, keyword co-occurrence network-based cluster analysis, and trend analysis to reveal keywords at the forefront of platform research. The study reveals the temporal evolution of keywords and emerging research trends and concludes with actionable directions for future exploration. This research establishes a robust roadmap for the evolving field and provides a foundational bibliometric knowledge structure map for platformization in OSCM. • The study presents how digital platforms are used in operations and supply chain management and how these platforms have grown and changed by compiling information. • We identify research gaps, address the fragmented state of platformization literature, and promote platformization innovation. • The study reveals the temporal evolution of emerging research trends and concludes with actionable directions for future exploration.
