Teamwork in the supply chain – a systematic and bibliometric analysis (part 1)

The success of supply chains depends primarily on integrating and coordinating the activities of network participants. Many supplier companies are shifting toward team-based structures to manage the boundaries with their customers. One of the possibilities of the operational implementation of cooperation in the supply chain is the appointment of teams in the network structure. Teamwork is a specific social group, consisting of at least two people, subject to the same impact, consciously interacting with one another, perceiving themselves as members of a specific group and identifying with it, as well as having a common goal, shared norms and creating a characteristic structure (fulfilling complementary roles). Situation caused by COVID-19 forced a change in defining and functioning of supply chains. It is also a moment of very dynamic development of work and cooperation in a remote environment, which impacted the functioning of teamwork in the supply chain. The paper is composed of two parts and aims to orient researchers who are new to collaborative work in supply chain research. The first article is structured as follows: the systematic literature review procedure is presented, then the bibliometric analysis is conducted, an in-depth analysis of journals and articles is performed with use of the Treecloud tool and VOSviewer software to analyse the selected papers.
