A new approach to granting terminal concessions: the case of the Rotterdam Wo…

This paper describes in detail the award process of the concession for a large container terminal in the port of Rotterdam. This process can be termed competitive bidding, and differs from a tender because of the frequent interaction between the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the candidates. The competitive bidding process is a potentially attractive form in which to grant concessions, if ther…

Effective supply chain research via the quick scan audit methodology

This paper aims to provide an answer to the important question of how can accurate assessment of supply chain practice and performance be conducted? By conducting audits across a sample of value streams it is thereby possible to identify the components of “good practice” via evidencebased procedures.

Supply chain networks and service-dominant logic: suggestions for future rese…

The service-dominant (S-D) logic views supply chains as value co-creation networks. These networks promote knowledge growth amongst network members via resource deployment and coordination. The exchange of knowledge and utilization of operant resources among the network members leads to co-created service offerings and value proposals for the end-users, with the ultimate goal of transforming en…

Developing a consensus definition of supply chain management: a qualitative s…

Without the adoption of a uniform agreed upon definition of supply chain management (SCM), researchers and practitionerswill not be able to “advance the theory and practice” of the discipline. An integrated definition of SCM would greatly benefit researchers’ efforts to study the phenomenon of SCM and those practitioners attempting to implement SCM. This paper aims to address these issues.

Schools in logistics research?: A methodological framework for analysis of th…

In the logistics literature, it is stated that research results are produced almost entirely within a positivistic paradigm. As a consequence, there is only one school in logistics research, and it is based on the positivistic approach. It also means that the research questions are derived from the same methodological approach, which tends to produce similar questions and answers. In this paper…

Starry-eyed: journal rankings and the future of logistics research

This is a polemical paper challenging both the principle and practice of journal ranking. In recent years academics and their institutions have become obsessive about the star-ratings of the journals in which they publish.

Scholarly interest in carrying out impactful research continues to remain high. Yet, given that citations of scholarly work can never decrease with time, traditional measures of research impact (such as raw counts of citations) unwittingly discriminate against early career researchers and also make it hard to identify future high impact scholars. In the current study, the paper compares several…
