Foreword Among researchers in the business and management
disciplines, there is some kind of a common understanding that
research should provide models, concepts and solutions for
practical problems. In other words: research is practice-oriented
and, personally, I subscribe to this maxim. Still, sometimes, it is
important to pause for a moment and reflect upon one s own
activities. The present thesis is one of those comparatively few
pieces of research that do so by dealing with the scientific side
of research and by asking a number of questions that target at the
identification of the nature of a very recent subfield within
business and management, namely Supply Chain Management. In
particular, the author seeks to understand the processes that
characterize the evolution of Supply Chain Management research
throughout the past sixteen years and reflects upon avenues for
future research - feeling that SCM research seems to have come to a
crossroads. The systematic reprocessing of Supply Chain Management
literature and the methodologically sound approach are impressive
and enable Julia Wolf to contribute a valuable component to
scientific practice and debate in this area. Her work also
illustrates that, in terms of philosophical underpinnings, research
in Supply Chain Management is still at the very beginning and I
hope that this thesis gives rise to more work of similar kind."
