Abstract: Purpose – We identify avenues for future research in mobile supply chain management (mSCM) in the advent of Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach – A Systematic Literature Review was used to identify, classify, and analyse current knowledge, identify trends, and propose recommendations for future research. Findings – Other research fields, such as operations, production, industrial engineering, and computer science seem to have a head start in research into Industry 4.0. Several avenues are suggested for investigation under a IS lens. Research limitations/implications – Despite the care taken in the Systematic Literature Review, the language (English), the selected keywords, and selected databases represent a natural limitation. Practical implications – With Industry 4.0 at the top of the agenda of managers and countries, it is important to identify relevant research avenues. Originality/value – A gap between the extant literature on mSCM and new concerns raised by Industry 4.0 is presented, and some research opportunities to close those gaps are proposed.
