Title
Smarter Relationships? The Present and Future Scope of AI Application in Buyer-Supplier Relationships
Abstract
The last decade has seen rapid developments in the area of artificial intelligence (AI). While research focuses on technical challenges and enablers of AI, the number of publications examining application approaches at the buyer-supplier interface is increasing. To accelerate the related discussion and to add clarity and richness to this fragmented research field, a systematic overview of the existing comprehensive body of literature is essential. We contribute to the academic debate by applying a combined systematic literature review with a text mining and machine learning-based literature review. Thus, we categorize and cluster different research streams and analyze the application of AI at the buyer-supplier interface. Subsequently, we identify gaps resulting from the comparison of the technology and the application domain and derive the main points of discussion from the literature. As a result, we present ten central questions outlining future requirements and research opportunities in the field of AI application at the buyer-supplier interface.
