Abstract
Humanitarian organizations work diligently to save lives using scarce resources,
competing for donor money, and operating in complex environments. It is no surprise that
they need information to effectively execute their task. As there have been tremendous developments
in data analytics it is imperative that the domain of humanitarian supply chain
management leverage the benefits offered by the advancement of big data. In this study, we
have conducted a systematic literature review in the field of big data and humanitarian supply
chain. The data was collected using Scopus which is the largest digital database. After careful
screening, only 28 journal papers were selected for literature review. These papers have been
classified and grouped into various categorizations. Future research directions in this field
have been suggested that are based on various organizational theories.
