Operations Management Research: an update for the 1990s
Journal of Operations Management, 1999Co-Authors: Gertrude P. Pannirselvam, Lisa A. Ferguson, Robert C Ash, Sue Perrott SiferdAbstract:Abstract The issue of operations Management (OM) Research agendas was first advanced in the literature in 1980 with updates and additions in 1981, 1987, and 1989. We believe that the time is ripe for an analysis of the OM Research agenda in the decade of the 90's. In this study, we examine operations Management Research methodologies and output during the period 1992–1997. Amoako-Gyampah and Meredith [Amoako-Gyampah, K., Meredith, J.R., 1989. Journal of Operations Management 8, 250-262] published a study in which they examined operations Management Research output from 1982 through 1987. Our objectives are to examine the state of operations Management Research in the 1990s from the standpoint of topics and methodologies to look for trends, and to determine implications for future Research. We assessed the state of Research in operations Management by examining the Research topics addressed and the methodologies used in a subset of seven academic journals that are representative of publications in operations Management Research. We also surveyed pipeline Research in the operations Management area by analyzing the topics discussed in national conferences attended by operations Management academicians and Researchers. Our findings show some significant changes in the kind of Research being performed in the 1990s vs. the 1980s. Greater interest in strategy and quality are now apparent in the literature. OM Research in the 1990s is also more integrative in nature. We were surprised to find no apparent shift away from modeling solution methods nor any significant shift toward empirical methodologies.

Operations Management Research in the hospitality industry
International Journal of Hospitality Management, 1998Co-Authors: Peter Jones, Andrew LockwoodAbstract:This article critically reviews operations Management Research in the hospitality industry. The literature is reviewed by moving from studies of “macro issues” such as industry classification through consideration of chain, unit and specific operations (namely food and beverage and accommodation) to the “micro issue” of the service encounter. It concludes that commonly used operations terminology is not clearly defined; operations Management Research to date has been too conceptual; and that this type of Research is conducted in isolation. It therefore strongly advocates grounding such Research in the discipline of “production and operations Management” (POM) and engaging in more empirically based studies.

looking forward in operations Management Research
Operations Management Research, 2019Co-Authors: Danny Samson, Matteo Giacomo Maria KalchschmidtAbstract:As we take over the Editor in Chief roles of the Operations Management Research journal, we want to look very briefly back and then cast our thoughts and aspirations for the field and the journal forward over the next few years and indeed decade.

service operations Management Research
Journal of Operations Management, 2007Co-Authors: Jose Antonio Dominguez Machuca, Maria Del Mar Gonzalezzamora, Victor G AguilarescobarAbstract:Abstract The extraordinary importance of the services sector for the economy both in production and employment cannot be denied. As a result, there have been both demands for an increase in Service Operations Management (SOM) Research since the 1980s on the one hand, and, on the other, predictions that such an increase will take place [e.g.: Buffa, E.S., 1980. Research in Operations Management. Journal of Operations Management 1 (1), 1–8; Miller, J.G., Graham, M.B.W., Freeland, J.R., Hottenstein, M., Maister, D.M., Meredith, J., Schmenner, R.W., 1981. Production/Operations Management: agenda for the 80s. Decision Science 12 (4), 547–571; Mabert, V.A., 1982. Service Operations Management: Research and application. Journal of Operations Management 2 (4), 203–209; Amoako-Gyampah, K., Meredith, J.R., 1989. The Operations Management Research agenda: an update. Journal of Operations Management 8 (3), 250–262; Chase, R.B., 1996. The mall is my factory: reflections of a service junkie. Production and Operations Management 5 (4), 298–308; Pannirselvam, G.P., Ferguson, L.A., Ash, R.C., Siferd, S.P., 1999. Operations Management Research: an update for the 1990s. Journal of Operations Management 18 (1), 95–112; Roth, A.V., Menor, L.J., 2003. Insights into service Operations Management: a Research agenda. Production and Operations Management 12 (2), 145–164; Slack, N., Lewis, M., Bates, H., 2004. The two worlds of Operations Management Research and practice. Can they meet, should they meet? International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 24 (4), 372–387]. And yet, the amount of SOM Research done in OM Research has still only been minimal. This contradiction calls for an in-depth study of the state of affairs of SOM Research, and we have conducted just such a study in 10 of the most relevant and representative outlets in the OM field, as well as in pipeline Research (Proceedings of the POMS, DSI and EurOMA Conferences). Our results aim to provide answers to the following questions, amongst others: (1) Is greater importance now attached to SOM Research within OM Research? (2) What are the main topics of Research? Are they the same topics that have been proposed in SOM Research agendas? (3) What methods are used in SOM Research? (4) What are the most commonly studied sectors of economic activities? (5) Are there any differences from OM Research in terms of content and methods? Some of our findings show that although a growth in SOM Research had been predicted in earlier studies, there is still only a minimal amount done (7.5% of OM Research); seven topics command 61.5% of SOM Research, which (with some exceptions) is consistent with SOM Research agendas; there is more Research done on strategic issues than on tactical/operational issues; models and simulations are still more common than empirical Research, but trends point to a shift to the latter; the majority of Research focuses on a specific sector, and three sectors account for 50% of the total; there is a clear connection between type of journal and type of Research, Research method and sector of activity.

resource based theory in operations Management Research
Journal of Operations Management, 2016Co-Authors: Michael A Hitt, Christina Matz CarnesAbstract:Abstract Resource based theory (RBT) has become increasingly popular in operations Management Research. The development and current application of RBT to the study and understanding of operations Management problems and phenomena are reviewed and articles in the recent six plus years across nine journals are evaluated. Based on this review and evaluation, we identify several issues in the overall Research and highlight some exemplary Research themes in the use of RBT in operations Management. Our Research suggests that further application of RBT can add richness in operations Management Research, and has the potential to produce multiple contributions for this field and adjacent fields.
