In recent years, the domain of e-Supply Chain Management (e-SCM) has evolved rapidly, driven by technological advancements and growing demand for enhanced supply chain efficiency. The research purposes to provide a complete bibliometric analysis of e-SCM adoption over past decade, focusing on identifying key trends, influential contributions, and emerging areas of research. The primary objective is to map the evolution of research topics, methodologies, and publication patterns in e-SCM, and to highlight leading countries and institutions in this domain. This analysis reveals a shift from foundational e-SCM concepts to the exploration of innovation such as blockchain, IoT, and AI. The study introduces a novel framework that categorizes research contributions by their focus on technological innovation, empirical evidence, and industry applications. Results indicate that the United States, China, and Germany are at the forefront of e-SCM research, with significant contributions from institutions like MIT, Tsinghua University, and the Technical University of Munich. The most cited papers and authors emphasize themes of digital transformation, supply chain visibility, and technology integration, reflecting the field’s focus on leveraging e-SCM to address modern supply chain challenges. The findings underscore the importance of international collaboration and the practical application of research findings to drive innovation in e-SCM. The study concludes that ongoing advancements in technology and cross-institutional partnerships will continue to shape the future of e-SCM research, offering new opportunities for improving supply chain performance and resilience.
