Popis: Operations strategy and efficiency frontier are two topics widely covered in Operations Management literature in its own development path. However, when we survey both topics in an integrative way it is not possible to identify a wide range of papers. Considering this research gap, an important contribution to operations management research area is given, approaching the two concepts in a complementary manner. Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, we find out 19 papers fully related to operations strategy and efficiency frontier identification, which composes the portfolio of analysis. This paper focuses on promoting a content analysis of this portfolio seeking to identify research gaps in this stream of study and therefore making it possible to strengthen it. As a result, a mapping of the research stream as well as future work opportunities is presented in the perspective of operations strategy approach, context, completeness analysis, and research proposal. Based on the content of the portfolio papers set, the relation between operations strategy and efficiency frontier concept are clarified and represented.
