Description:
Objectives
The course is about “Developing advanced research in Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM)”. It aims to provide a platform for PhD students to learn different research methodologies and research frontiers in the OSCM context. It will include several sessions delivered by five leading scholars from Aalborg University, Oregon State University, Lancaster University, and Leeds University. PhD students will have an opportunity to present their research in the course and to seek advice from relevant faculty members. The course will also enable PhD students to meet and network with each other and to explore future research collaborations.
Target Students
The course will target PhD students in the fields of Operations/Production and Supply Chain Management from all the Danish universities and ideally from the universities all over the world. Maximum 30 students will be selected to attend the course.
Preliminary Programme
The course will be organised in terms of three sections. Students need to attend all the sections in order to receive an attendance certificate, which will be given in the last section of the course. Free coffee and tea will be provided on each day of the course.
Section 1: The design and implementation of operations and supply Chain Management research
In this section, lectures will be given to introduce how to design and conduct Operations/Production and Supply Chain Management related research by applying various methods. Specifically,
· Professor Wu will elaborate research design and implementation based on case study;
· Professor Wong will introduce research design and implementation based on survey; and
· Professor Blome will teach research design and implementation based on secondary data and other methods.
Section 2: The introduction of research frontiers in Operations/Production and Supply Chain Management
In this section, lectures about research frontiers in the fields of Operations/Production and Supply Chain Management will be given. Specifically,
· Associate Professor Cheng will introduce frontiers related to digitalisation and international operations; and
· Professor Wæhrens will introduce frontiers related to sustainable operations.
Section 3: Publication and project application
In this section, five lecturers will introduce their experience in how to publish journal papers and apply research projects. Among five lecturers,
· Professor Wu is the associate editor of Journal of Operations Management, Journal of Supply Chain Management, Journal of Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management, and Decision Sciences Journal;
· Professor Blome is the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Operations & Production Management;
· Professor Wong is the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Physical and Distribution Management and senior associate editor of International Journal of Logistics Management;
· Associate Professor Cheng is the associate editor of Production Planning & Control;
· Professor Wæhrens is advisory board member of Industrial PhD program under Innovation fond Denmark, who have been granted dozens of Danish research projects with the funding of more than 20 million DKK.
This section will be organised as a seminar, where students will firstly introduce their research in brief (3-5 mins each) and afterwards students will have the opportunity to have dialogues with five lecturers.
The course will last for 3 days: the teaching from each lecturer will be half a day, and Section 3 will also last for half a day.
Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
