Call for Papers
Operations and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal (OSCM)
OSCM web site: http://journal.oscm-forum.org

Special Issue: "Case Studies in Supply Chain Management"

Aims and Objectives
        For more than a decade issues regarding technology, security, 
globalization, and competition have transformed supply chains and the 
methods firms use to manage their supply chain trading relationships. 
Recent developments for example in radio frequency identification, Asian 
manufacturing, global financial markets, threats of terrorism, and the 
price of fuel have potentially impacted supply chain design and management 
issues. Consequently, these changes should be impacting pedagogical 
treatments of these topics.
        The objective of this special issue is to collect case studies and 
teaching cases in the field of supply chain management for use in the 
classroom. As the many practices within supply chain management change, so 
too must the coverage of supply chain management within colleges and 
universities change. Ideally, papers in this issue should expose students 
to current supply chain management problems and practices, and place 
students in a manager’s position, enabling them to consider alternative 
solutions and make appropriate recommendations. 

Subject Coverage
        Of interest in this call for papers are case studies or teaching 
cases of real companies involved in designing or managing their supply 
chains. Alternately, cases can be fictional while containing real problems 
and practices useful for classroom discussions. Real company cases though, 
will receive priority. Topics within this subject area include but are not 
limited to: 
Use of the Internet in managing supply chain relationships;
Building customer and/or supplier relationships;
Integrating processes among global trading partners;
Free trade agreements and supply chain management;
The greening of supply chains;
Supply chain risk and security management;
Supply chain management in developing economies;
Small business supply chain management.

Review Process
        Each paper submitted to this special issue is subject to the 
following review procedures: 1) it is reviewed by the editor for 
suitability in OSCM; 2) if suitable, two reviewers are selected and a 
double-blind review process takes place; 3) based on recommendations of 
the reviewers, the editor then decides whether the case study should be 
accepted as is, revised, or rejected. All teaching cases must be 
accompanied by a teaching note. Permission authorization must also 
accompany real cases if field research is used. Only unpublished 
manuscripts will be accepted for review. The deadline for submission of 
papers is March 31, 2009. Authors will be notified of the review results 
no later than May 31, and final manuscripts will then be due by August 15, 
2009. 
        Each submission should be emailed as an attached Word document to:
