Doctoral Seminar - Operations and Supply Chain Management Research

Section: 001

Course Description

This seminar introduces non-business doctoral students to research in operations and supply chain management and, more fundamentally, to the process of developing research ideas and projects. At the outset of the course, the focus of the discussion lies on the structure and key elements of research papers and on the general research process. In the following sessions, students identify the findings and contributions of published research papers and propose/defend possible extensions or new research ideas. Throughout the course, the primary emphasis will be placed on each student's development of a research project, from idea to draft working paper.
