Daniela Lopes Chagas, Fernanda Tavares Treinta, José Rodrigues de Farias, Filho, Lucas Rebello de Oliveira · 2013
When researching the integration of corporate and operations strategies, an exhaustive number of academic articles appear. As such, filtering and selecting the most relevant articles related to Industrial Engineering becomes an arduous task. Bibliometrics, which includes a set of methods to analyze scientific literature, was the research methodology chosen for this study, in order to choose and evaluate publications dealing with the integration of corporate and operations strategies. Starting with a keyword tree, 1174 scientific papers were analyzed with Refviz® software, and, ultimately, 270 papers were chosen. Using several indicators, such as the conclusions from the principal authors, economic sectors and publication channels, the institutions and countries that have published were inferred, allowing a consistent evaluation of this important topic.
