SUMMARY:Faculty Workshop - “Experimental Research Designs in Supply Chain”
DESCRIPTION:On April 3-4\, CARISCA will host its biannual capacity-building workshop for faculty and students at KNUST and other higher education institutions in Africa. \n \nOn April 3–4\, CARISCA will host its second faculty workshop of the academic year to strengthen the research capacity of faculty and graduate students at KNUST and other higher education institutions in Africa. The workshop will be held in a hybrid format\, both in person at KNUST in Kumasi\, Ghana\, and via Zoom. \nThe goal of these workshops is to provide faculty with new tools for understanding the intricacies of global supply chains and finding ways to improve their efficiency. The April workshop seeks to help participants diversify their research methodology approaches to reflect current trends in the field and reduce the over-reliance on survey designs. \nMahyar Eftekhar\, an associate professor of supply chain management at Arizona State University\, will lead the workshop. He will expose participants to experimental research designs in supply chains\, including examples of classical and field experiments. \nThe first day of the workshop will feature presentation and Q&A sessions. On the second day\, participants will apply the concepts learned the day before. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own research questions to explore the possibility of using experimental research designs to carry out their study. \nAbout the presenter:\n\n\n\nMahyar Eftekhar is an associate professor of supply chain management at ASU’s W.P. Carey School of Business. He also serves as a senior editor for Production and Operations Management. \nEftekhar’s studies focus on nonprofit operations management\, humanitarian logistics and global health. His research formulates decision models that incorporate multiple sources of uncertainty\, analyzes the impact of features of humanitarian logistics on relief capacity\, and develops tools to cultivate humanitarian logistics resilience. \nHe has been published in the Journal of Operations Management\, Production and Operations Management\, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management\, and Decision Sciences. In 2019\, Eftekhar won the Best Paper Award from the POMS College of Humanitarian Operations and Crisis Management. \nHe also has won young faculty and early career awards\, as well as the Outstanding Dissertation Award from Decision Sciences Institute. Eftekhar holds a Ph.D. in management science from HEC Paris.

SUMMARY:CARISCA Training Series - Crafting a Pitch for a Trade Journal
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nYou have conducted your research and now comes the hard part—getting published. While publishing in academic journals is critical for advancing knowledge\, getting your research published in a trade journal will expand awareness of your work and its results to a wider audience. \nTrade journals have a different set of requirements and expectations than academic journals. You’ll need to present your research in a way that is relevant and interesting to practitioners and other nonacademic audiences. \nJoin us April 18 to learn all about “Crafting a Pitch for a Trade Journal.” This CARISCA Training workshop\, presented by the executive editor of CSCMP’s Supply Chain Quarterly\, will cover key elements of a pitch\, providing a hook\, how to provide samples\, and etiquette for following up. \nAbout the presenter:\n\n\n\nSusan Lacefield has served as executive editor of the award-winning official magazine of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) for the past five years. In this role\, she serves as the primary curator of the publication’s content. She solicits and edits articles from supply chain management subject matter experts\, helping them to shape their thought leadership for an audience of supply chain managers and executives. \nLacefield was one of the founding members of the magazine in 2007. She served as senior editor and editor-at-large before becoming executive editor. \nPrior to joining Supply Chain Quarterly\, she worked at Supply Chain Management Review. Lacefield holds a master’s degree in English from the University of Virginia and bachelor’s degrees in English and history from the College of William & Mary\, also in Virginia.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Startups in the Supply Chain Ecosystem—Practice and Research
DESCRIPTION:Startups in the Supply Chain Ecosystem—Practice and Research\nStartups are associated with innovation\, emerging technologies\, digitalization and disruptive business models. Therefore\, more and more corporates are urged to access innovations that increase the competitiveness of products or productivity of processes. \nThe scholarly supply chain\, logistics and operations management literature has up to now paid little attention to startups’ role in the supply chain ecosystem. Through his lecture on April 20\, Stephan Wagner aims to motivate researchers\, both in Africa and other parts of the world\, to take up projects at this OM–entrepreneurship interface. \nWagner\, a professor of supply chain management at ETH Zurich\, will discuss research that has already shed light on different modes of corporate–startup interaction\, or on the capabilities buying firms need to build up in order to identify\, select and integrate startup suppliers. \nThe talk will also reveal the opportunities and challenges of publishing research at the OM–entrepreneurship interface. \nSpeaker Biography:\nStephan M. Wagner is a professor of supply chain management at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). He holds the Chair of Logistics Management and is the founder and director of the HumOSCM Lab. \nWagner is an active researcher and an advisor to several supply chain startups. He serves as an editor for five academic journals. He also is author and editor of 13 books and 150 book chapters and articles. \nHis award-winning research has been published in numerous journals on management\, operations management and methods. Wagner’s work has particular emphasis on strategy\, networks and relationships\, risk\, innovation\, digitalization\, entrepreneurship\, sustainability and humanitarian operations.
