摘要：Electronic commerce and supply chain management are two substantial dots in the ever-developing picture of decision sciences. Over the past three years (2004-2006), the annual rate of scholarly publications referring to electronic commerce has exceeded 15,000 per year¡ªor, more than 300 per week. In the same three-year window, scholarly publications referring to supply chains have averaged 12,000 annually¡ª over 230 each week. As Figure 1 shows, scholarly engagement in these two topic areas has risen dramatically since the mid-1990s. We can also see that there is a connection between the electronic commerce (EC) and supply chain (SC) dots, which has become more evident in recent years. In the most recent three-year window, over 1,900 scholarly publications per year have appeared referring to both EC and SC¡ª up from an annual average of fewer than 30 between 1994-1996. The EC+SC connection is now being exhibited in over 35 new scholarly publications per week. The clear conclusions are that electronic commerce and supply chains are heavily studied topics, and that there is considerable attention being given to building and/or understanding the connection between them.
