Popis:	This article presents a review of the supply chain management literature focusing on Latin America and is based on articles written in English and Spanish. We characterize the literature in terms of topics addressed, results obtained, methodologies used, and analyze areas of congruence and provide directions for further research. The results suggest that supply chain challenges in Latin America are numerous and complex. Furthermore, there is evidence that the supply chains of many companies in the region have internal vulnerabilities that might hinder their efforts to participate in the global markets. Challenges include lack of economic integration, political risks, social concerns, geographical obstacles, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient logistical networks, and poor supplier relationships. This review demonstrates the need for continued development and extension of the supply chain management body of knowledge in the region and serves as a foundation for future research efforts in Latin America.
