SUMMARY:Systematic Literature Reviews: the Who\, How\, What\, Why and When
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nA systematic literature review is one of many research methods available to academic scholars. It involves identifying and evaluating relevant literature on a selected topic of study. \nUnlike a common literature review conducted for projects employing other research approaches\, a systematic literature review is an independent research method. It is a reproducible and empirically valid approach to understanding patterns\, findings and potential gaps in knowledge. \nOn Aug. 16\, Arizona State University Professor Craig Carter will lead a virtual workshop\, part of the CARISCA Training Series\, on how to conduct systematic literature reviews. \nHis presentation will cover the who\, how\, what\, why and when of the topic. Carter will describe a step-by-step approach to the methodology\, suggest guidelines and work through an actual example. \nThis presentation will serve as a foundation for a second training workshop on Aug. 30\, on meta-analysis\, a subset of systematic literature reviews. At the Aug. 16 training\, Carter will suggest guidelines that will help researchers understand how to conduct meta-analyses—a methodologically rigorous\, and possible more interesting\, literature review. \nAbout the speaker:\nCraig R. Carter is the John G. and Barbara A. Bebbling Professor of Supply Chain Management at Arizona State University. He also directs the SCM Behavioral Lab and is a Fearon Fellow at CAPS Research. \nCarter’s primary research stream focuses on sustainable supply chain management. A second area of research examines behavioral decision-making phenomena within supply management contexts. \nHe also is interested in analyzing the status and evolution of research in the supply chain management discipline. He provides guidance and thought leadership regarding future research directions. \nHis research has appeared in the leading supply chain management journals\, including the Journal of Business Logistics\, Journal of Operations Management and Journal of Supply Chain Management. Carter is editor emeritus and an advising editor for the Journal of Supply Chain Management\, a senior editor for the Journal of Business Logistics\, and an associate editor for the Journal of Operations Management and the Decision Sciences Journal.

SUMMARY:Continuing Professional Development Course
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister: https://carisca.knust.edu.gh/training/cpd/ \nJoin CARISCA’s two-day Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course on Supply Chain Analytics\, co-hosted with Lagos State University\, Nigeria. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and network with industry peers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Details\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse: Supply Chain Analytics \nDate: August 28-29\, 2024 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. GMT ||9 a.m. – 3 p.m. WAT each day \nVenue:  Online via Zoom \nCourse Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will build the capacity of supply chain practitioners and service providers in Sub-Saharan Africa\, in both the public and private sectors\, to use big data to support supply chain management decisions. \nIn this workshop\, you will apply various techniques to analyze\, model and visualize several aspects of operations\, procurement\, logistics and supply chain. Additionally\, you will model various supply chain analytics on dashboards to solve industry-related problems\, using tools such as Microsoft Power BI\, Python and R Studio. \nRegister: https://carisca.knust.edu.gh/training/cpd/

SUMMARY:CARISCA Training Series - Striving for Generalizability: An Introduction to Meta-Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Generalizability—the applicability of research findings to a larger population than those in the study—is critical for researchers who wish to make an impact. One approach to consider is meta-analysis. \nA subset of systematic literature reviews\, meta-analysis combines data from numerous sources. Thus it allows researchers to draw more generalizable conclusions than would be possible from individual studies alone. \nOn Aug. 30\, the CARISCA Training Series returns with a session on meta-analysis led by Rudi Leuschner\, associate professor of supply chain management at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Leuschner has been the lead author of three meta-analysis studies published in the Journal of Supply Chain Management. \nWhile already widespread in certain disciplines\, the use of meta-analysis is now growing within supply chain management. With an increasing number of studies being published across multiple topics\, this tool enables the field to guide future research. \nIt also enhances the credibility of research outcomes and facilitates the translation of research findings into practical applications. Lastly\, meta-analysis aids in advancing scientific knowledge by highlighting gaps in research and guiding future investigation. \nThe CARISCA Training will cover key concepts\, methodology and strategies used in meta-analytical research. Participants will gain an understanding of how this methodology can be used to create a systematic quantitative summary of existing research in supply chain management. \nSpecifically\, participants will review the overall logic of meta-analytic studies\, sample selection\, meta-analytic calculations and insights drawn from meta-analytic studies. \nAbout the speaker:\nRudi Leuschner is an associate professor of supply chain management at Rutgers Business School and program director for the online Master of Science in Supply Chain Management program. He is at the forefront of online education as the faculty coordinator for distance and online learning and the creator of the supply chain management MOOC specialization. \nLeuschner’s research focuses on the end-to-end supply chain and the integration of its three primary flows: products\, information and finances. Specifically\, in the new field of supply chain finance\, he has been active in developing relevant insights for academic and practitioner audiences. \nHe co-developed the Rutgers Business School Payment Practices Index\, which ranks retailers’ performance. His work has appeared in many top-ranked journals\, and he has been a frequent speaker at academic as well as practitioner conferences.
