Abstract

Supply chain transparency (SCT) is a frequently discussed broad concept in existing textile and apparel (TA) literature; however, the definition of SCT is inconsistent throughout the literature. Therefore, it is imperative to understand how the core (i.e., transparency) of this concept has been discussed in the existing TA literature. The purpose of this study is to epistemologically review the state of the literature on SCT within the arena of TA to conceptualize the definition of SCT and to map the key TA SCT research elements using a systematic literature review (SLR). 

Keywords: supply chain transparency, textile and apparel, systematic literature review
