Sažetak
The importance of supply chain management (SCM) has been discussed extensively in the scientific literature, especially in the context of improving companies’ performance. Since the construction industry is a key social and economic activity of every country, the application of SCM strategies is considered helpful in achieving higher competitiveness of construction firms and construction sector as a whole. Construction is a worldwide activity with many special characteristics and it includes projects of dramatically different types, sizes and complexities. Although the existing literature suggests that the generic supply chains should be simple and linear, the reality in the construction sector is quite different – a myriad of construction supply chains and markets need to be integrated by any construction firm when it delivers a solution to an end customer/client. Thus the aim of this paper, in order to provide guidance for future research related to supply chains in construction, is to review existing research and synthesize main approaches and findings. In particular, this review seeks to screen existing studies (published in period 2010-2015 using ProQuest database) with regard to their a) level of analysis, b) research focus, c) type of study/paper, d) the sample used, e) analyzed relationships, and f) the different types of construction subjects which are covered and linked into supply chains.
