Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to identify and
analyze Nordic doctoral dissertations in logistics and supply
chain management (SCM) published from the years
2009–2014. The paper is based on a detailed review of 150
doctoral dissertations. Compared with previous studies, this
paper identifies a trend toward: more dissertations based on a
collection of articles than monographs; more dissertations
focusing on inter-organizational SCM issues; a shift from a
focal company perspective to functional aspects and supply
chain-related research; and finally, a continued decreased
focus on the philosophy of science. A score for measuring the
significance of article-based dissertations is also proposed. |
