Journal of Supply Chain Management

In the second episode of the JSCM Impact Conversations, Hakan Karaosman and Lara Schilling explore what critical, engaged and inclusive research means and what it can look like in the discipline of supply chain management. Dr. Lara Schilling is an Assistant Professor at DTU - Technical University of Denmark and Research Assistant at University of Kassel. Lara is not just an academic; she is an engaged researcher who sees the impact of research going far beyond publications. Her work challenges traditional approaches and seeks to bridge the gap between theory and sustainable change on the ground. Drawing on research in Pakistan and Sub-Saharan Africa, she explains how we can all ensure that research is contextually grounded rather than dictated by traditional, business-as-usual assumptions.

?? The JSCM special issue 'Envisioning Supply Chains in a Post-Growth Era' has about two weeks left to submit your research! This special issue addresses the discourse on the (im)possibility of decoupling economic growth from environmental and social harms. It aims to understand the possible limits of green growth and imagine what supply chains might look like in the post-growth era. We encourage scholars from disciplines within and beyond supply chain management to submit their best work for this special issue! ?? Deadline: March 31st, 2025????????

JSCM celebrates the achievements and resilience of women around the globe! In academia, women from diverse backgrounds carry out groundbreaking research and drive intellectual progress. Their essential work reminds us that equity is not just an abstract principle—it is an everyday commitment that strengthens our scholarly community. On this International Women’s Day, we honor the contributions of women in academia, including in SCM research, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering academic cultures where every voice is appreciated, every contribution is recognized, and diversity is valued.

Welcome to the JSCM Impact Conversations! In this first episode, Hakan Karaosman is joined by the new editorial board of the Journal of Supply Chain Management?. Hannah Stolze, Davide Luzzini and Andreas Wieland explain how they frame the impact, what actions the new editorial board will take to amplify societal and theoretical impact and how the knowledge space will be made even more inclusive and diverse in this new editorial term.

Exciting opportunity in Rotterdam this March! Great to see so many top journals coming together at IPSERA. Our Editor-in-Chief, Wendy Tate, will be representing Journal of Supply Chain Management on the panel. If you are wondering what makes a strong submission, how the review process works, or have other questions, this is a great chance to ask and hear directly from the editors.

In their new JSCM editorial, Taking Academic Ownership of the Supply Chain Emissions Discourse, Andreas Wieland and Felix Creutzig argue that supply chain management has a very important role to play in addressing the climate crisis. They present a framework that categorizes corporate interventions aimed at reducing supply chain emissions as collaborative or authoritative, aimed at behavioral or operational change. The framework identifies 20 such interventions. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ds3DsqvX #scope3 #climatecrisis #supplychainmanagement

Some research projects take years to fully come to life.?Our new paper accepted by the Journal of Supply Chain Management (ABS 4-rated for those who appreciate rankings ??) is a testament to #persistence, #interdisciplinary collaboration, and the challenge of moving beyond self-reports to study real #behavior in teams. Really happy to share that the article is in press now! This project started years ago but gained momentum in 2019 when our lead author Vera Schweitzer, then PhD student in my team at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, took on the challenge of working with 25,641 coded verbal behaviors from cross-functional team interactions collected by Nale Lehmann-Willenbrock and Sander de Leeuw, who had initially explored the idea together with Michaéla Schippers. ?? What did we find? Initial communication patterns matter! ? The frequency of relational communication in cross-functional teams' early meetings was associated with weaker performance improvement across six simulation iterations. ? Zooming further into these effects, we found that when relational communication was frequently followed by task-oriented communication, no association with team performance improvement was observed. ? However, cross-functional teams in which relational communication was more frequently followed by counterproductive communication showed notably weaker performance improvements.? ?? This shows that it’s not just what teams communicate, but when and how they do so that shapes their long-term success. ?? Why is studying real behavior so difficult? We often emphasize that surveys have biases—people's memory and perception are biased, influenced for example, by primacy/recency effects or stereotypes—but actually conducting behavioral research comes with its own hurdles: ?? Collecting real interaction data is often challenging in terms of data security concerns ?? Sample size expectations can be unrealistic for time-intensive coding approaches (still waiting for AI to solve this!) ?? Convincing reviewers and editors that behavioral insights are worth the effort can feel like an uphill battle. ?? What else did we learn? This project also taught us a lot about the challenges of interdisciplinary research. We initially aimed for a supply chain management outlet, but only when Jiachun LU joined us, she helped bridge the language gap between organizational psychology and supply chain research. Thx! Interdisciplinary work is often praised but rarely easy. There’s currently a Call for Papers on "Interdisciplinarity in Management Research: Premises, Promises, Pitfalls" in the Journal of Management Studies, initiated among others by my valued colleague Hannes Leroy. I really think we need more meta-level research to successfully make it work, so submit your best research there! ??Our article is available open access.

Did you know that the Journal of Supply Chain Management also publishes Societal Impact Articles? These are short articles that provide new theoretical perspectives on relevant societal issues. Guidelines can be found below. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Journal of Supply Chain Management invites you to the JSCM Impact Conversations! Starting in spring 2025, Dr. Hakan Karaosman will host a new video series, where our community will explore how scientific research can create societal impact and transform pressing problems into inclusive opportunities. JSCM Impact Conversations will foster forward-looking societal dialogues and amplify scientific voices that need to be heard to catalyse radical change.
