Abstract: The purpose of this study is to review findings of existing empirical studies on interdependence published between 1991 and 2022. We conducted a systematic review of 36 supply chain interdependence studies to identify categories, frequencies, and themes. We found that supply chain interdependence can have a positive, negative, or no effect on practices and performance. Fifty-three percent of our studies found positive effects of interdependence on practices and performance. Eight percent of our studies found negative effects of interdependence on practices and performance. This study offers suggestions for future research on supply chain interdependence.

Keywords: supply chain; dependence; collaboration; performance; power.
