This symposium focuses on expanding the quantitative and qualitative research landscape in supply chain management (SCM). Echoing the call for methodological diversity, it will discuss the potential of emerging research methods, both quantitative (e.g., agent-based modeling, secondary data analysis, experiments, machine learning) and qualitative approaches (e.g., interpretive research, narrative research, and ethnography) for empirical OSCM research. Based on underutilized or improperly executed approached in OSCM research, a panel and round-table discussion of these approaches offer fresh insights into complex phenomena and foster innovative development of forward-looking theories. The key goal of this workshop is to help OSCM scholars master innovative research methods for making theoretical contributions.
