Abstract
The aim of this disciplined provocation is to challenge some of the fundamental assumptions in supply chain management research and practice—most notably the discipline’s current conceptualization of supply chain excellence that has proven to be destructive for social-ecological systems. It is argued that to drive the transition to sustainable supply chains, it requires emphasizing the social component of sustainable supply chain management and considering how to conduct supply chain management research that includes people and communities from the beginning. Based on this vision of foregrounding people in supply chain management research, a people-centric research agenda that outlines the changes that are needed in how research is conducted and the topics that should be studied is introduced. The authors outline the active role that supply chain management scholars can play in developing new models of supply chain excellence that are, at a minimum, sustainable and hopefully regenerative.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Supply Chain Management
Mission:
The mission of the Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM) is to be the premier choice among supply chain management scholars from various disciplines. It aims to attract high-quality, impactful behavioral research that focuses on theory building and employs rigorous empirical methodologies.
Article Requirements:
An article published in JSCM must make a significant contribution to supply chain management theory. This contribution can be achieved through either an inductive, theory-building process or a deductive, theory-testing approach. This contribution may manifest in various ways, such as falsification of conventional understanding, theory-building through conceptual development, inductive or qualitative research, initial empirical testing of a theory, theoretically-based meta-analysis, or constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory.
Theoretical Contribution:
Manuscripts should explicitly convey the theoretical contribution relative to the existing supply chain management literature, and when appropriate, to the literature outside of supply chain management (e.g., management theory, psychology, economics).
Empirical Contribution:
Manuscripts published in JSCM must also provide strong empirical contributions. While conceptual manuscripts are welcomed, they must significantly advance theory in the field of supply chain management and be firmly grounded in existing theory and relevant literature. For empirical manuscripts, authors must adequately assess validity, which is essential for empirical research, whether quantitative or qualitative.
