Abstract
Scholarly work within the supply chain management and logistics discipline has evolved substantially over the last several decades. Four giants of the field—Bowersox, Coyle, Heskett, and La Londe—left an indelible legacy worth exploring. The biographies and analysis of interviews conducted with each of these scholars illuminate the early beginnings of the field and its evolution and provide guidance for its future. By examining the collective perspectives of these founding figures, we gain a deeper, more personal understanding of the establishment and evolution of logistics as an academic discipline.
