Humanitarian organizations have recognized the critical role of supply chain management in reaching beneficiaries, and they have introduced commercial routines and best practices. Academics realized that humanitarian operations constitute a fruitful new research area and adapted solution techniques developed for c...

So, many thanks to Steve Graves, whose memory and record-keeping are better than mine. Special thanks to Mathew Walls, publications director of INFORMS, who provided copies of INFORMS documents. I quote some below. Regardless, ...

The global supply chain management literature developed during this time provided theoretical frameworks and decision support tools for operational and supply chain decisions in the global context. Recent development in trade barrier debates as well as increasing uncertainties in countries' trade policies have forced...

摘要:Retailing consists of all the activities associated with the selling of goods to the final consumer. In this article, we review the research on retail operations published in Manufacturing & Service Operations Research (M&SOM) since 1999. We then discuss the current retail landscape and the new research directions it offers, in which M&SOM can play a prominent role.

摘要:In this short essay, we reflect on the innovation-related studies that have appeared in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) in its first 20 years of publication and consider the future work that M&SOM could publish in this domain. Innovation management can be defined broadly enough to encompass the efforts of organizations to effectively design and develop novel solutions to existing or new needs. Several different approaches and thematic lenses have emerged in the academic c...

摘要:The sharing economy, a term we use to refer to business models built around on-demand access to products and services mediated by online platforms that match many small suppliers or service providers to many small buyers, has emerged as an important area of study in operations management. We first describe three canonical applications that have garnered much attention from the operations management community. We use these applications to highlight distinguishing features of sharing economy bus...
