摘要

为理解一般管理或经济现象而开发的理论越来越无法有效解释物流/供应链管理的具体现象,尽管物流供应链管理研究人员尽最大努力将其用于这些目的。遗憾的是,为确保物流与供应链管理研究以理论为基础并以严谨的学术态度进行而设立的等级制度和基础设施,尚未发展到普遍使用替代方法来探讨此类问题的程度。本文的主要目的是指导 LSCM 实证研究如何进一步发展其与理论的关系。我们的论点是,利用经验数据进行归纳研究,可以为相关问题提供更多具有洞察力的答案。我们希望,从2024年的视角讨论这些话题,能够激励更多的研究以经验分析为起点,在LSCM领域创建新的理论,更重要的是,说服我们领域的成员尊重并接受在传统演绎、逻辑实证主义范式之外进行的严谨的经验研究。

“Theory will take you only so far” (Nolan, 2023): In search of greater insight through quantitative, observation-based research

Theories developed for understanding the general management or economic phenomena are increasingly ineffective for explaining logistics/SCM-specific phenomena, despite the best efforts of LSCM researchers to utilize them for those purposes. Unfortunately, the hierarchies and infrastructure in place to ensure LSCM research is theoretically grounded and conducted with scholarly rigor have not advanced to a point where the use of alternative methods to explore such questions is common. The key objective of this paper is to guide where empirical LSCM research could evolve if it took its relationship with theory a step further. Our thesis is that inductive research using empirical data can yield additional insightful answers to relevant questions. We hope that discussion of these topics from a 2024 perspective can spur more research that uses empirical analysis as a starting point to create new theory in LSCM and, importantly, to persuade members working in our field to respect and accept rigorous empirical research conducted outside the traditional deductive, logical positivist paradigm.
