Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management

This Special Interest Group (OLSCM) is focused on all aspects of Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

Our 200+ global community’s interests include research, teaching and impact across the public, private and civic spheres of society. We share cutting-edge research and practices with current trends in sustainability, ethics and digital technologies transforming our understanding of the field. We aim to provide a forum for contemporary research ideas and outputs which respond to grand challenges and industrial needs so as to guide the practices of managers and future researchers. As such this SIG has broad relevance and interest to practitioners.

Our active network is an innovator in BAM, having introduced the SIG Snapshot – our quarterly newsletter where members share news, events and opportunities and celebrate our successes. Our LinkedIN group has 260 members who regularly share news and connect with the wider LinkedIN community. We also expanded our annual workshops into seminar series in which our members can explore more deeply and develop skills in research, teaching and impact. Last year we ran the Impact Seminar Series and this year we are hosting the Visualisation series (see information below).

The SIG’s mandate is to provide a platform for engagement between academics and practitioners in shaping the research agenda through discussion, collaboration and events. With this in mind, AGM2022 decided to strategically develop relationships with social and economic practitioners. We will begin by creating an impact track at Conference2023 and are keen to co-create this strategy going forward with our members.
