[Logprofs] Journal of Supply Chain Management, Volume 61, Issue 2

[Andreas Wieland]

Dear colleagues, 
 
It is our pleasure to introduce the latest issue (61/2) of the Journal of Supply Chain Management. We hope you will find the articles as engaging and insightful as we did.
 
(1) Tingting Yan, Andreas Wieland & Wendy Tate: Researching Like a Master Chef: An Expansion of the Quantitative "Kitchen Tools" in Supply Chain Management Research 
In this editorial, we encourage SCM researchers to expand their quantitative methodological "kitchen tools" by adopting underutilized methods such as field experiments, neuroscience, agent-based modeling, SIENA, dynamic SEM, QCA, and AI-based approaches. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12347
 
(2) Gordon Liu, Yantai Chen & Wai Wai Ko: Justice and Contracts as Double-Edged Swords: Collaborative Product Innovation in Hub-and-Spoke Supply Chain Networks 
Challenging traditional theories, this mixed-methods study uncovers interesting inverted U- and U-shaped effects of justice on innovation collaboration in hub-and-spoke supply chains - showing that fairness and contracts can unexpectedly hinder, not always help, partnerships. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12340
 
(3) Leopold Ried, Lutz Kaufmann & Moritz Schreiner: The Surprisingly Robust Effects of Narratives in Supplier Negotiations 
This study shows that even when buyers deceive first, telling a compelling story still builds trust and wins concessions. Through experiments and interviews, the authors reveal why narratives remain surprisingly powerful in negotiations. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12343
 
(4) Michael Rogerson, Johanne Grosvold & Andrew Crane: Theorizing Meta-Organizations' Role in Addressing Societal Problems: Hybridizing Institutional Logics to Tackle Modern Slavery 
Through rich case studies and 44 interviews, this article reveals how meta-organizations can hybridize efficiency and anti-slavery logics, offering a new, actionable way to tackle modern slavery in supply chains that goes beyond superficial compliance. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12345
 
(5) Kirstin Scholten, Dirk Pieter van Donk & Stefania Boscari: What Options Do We Have? The Supply Chain Resilience Funnel 
Based on case studies of several companies, this research introduces the "supply chain resilience funnel" - a framework that shows how product, process, and supply chain design shape resilience, potential, and adaptability during disruptions. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12342
 
(6) Xueyuan Liu, Lingli Luo, Li Chen & Thomas Choi: A Punctuated Equilibrium Model of Supply Chain Recovery and Resilience: After a Complete Shutdown 
Using punctuated equilibrium theory and a unique case study from Wuhan's automotive supply chain, this article shows how deep structural changes trigger rapid recovery after total shutdown - providing actionable results for resilience-focused scholars and policymakers. https://doi.org/10.1111/jscm.12344

Journal of Supply Chain Management is an international empirical journal known for its high-quality, high-impact research in the discipline of supply chain management. We welcome interdisciplinary research that employs qualitative or quantitative methods to develop, advance, or test theories, present novel interpretations, or challenge existing assumptions about SCM phenomena.
