Information Sharing In Supply Chains, Myth Or Reality? A Critical Analysis of Empirical Literature

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate what empirical evidence exists regarding
benefits of information sharing in supply chains, and to identify potential gaps and opportunities in
this research area.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted an in-depth, systematic literature review
and multilevel analysis of 82 selected articles. In the analysis, the authors investigated: whether
the articles applied the supply chain as the unit of analysis; the selected research method; whether the
articles applied the supply chain as the unit of data collection (i.e. collected data from three or more
different companies); and finally, aspects of information sharing – including benefits.
Findings – Despite anecdotal descriptions of benefits from information sharing in supply chains, the
authors could not find empirical evidence to support these claims. Rather, the main body of literature
reports on a focal company’s perspective on traditional buyer-supplier relationships.
Research limitations/implications – Given the lack of evidence for the claimed benefits of
information sharing on a supply chain level, more research is needed in this field. The authors
therefore propose an agenda for future research building on four key points.
Originality/value – Contrary to popular belief, empirical evidence for benefits of information
sharing in supply chains does not seem to exist. This article highlights an issue previously not
addressed with a systematic in-depth review and analysis of empirical articles.
