Vol. 6 No. 1 (2013): January - June

I am pleased to share with our readers the new issue of the JOSCM. This issue has three major topics that are relevant for OM research and practice: sustainable operations, operations strategy and supply chain management.

The approaches followed in all the articles bring new insights in these topics. Articles on operations strategy have explored topics that are relatively rare such as international operations and governance. Also the articles on services sought different theoretical lens like sustainability and strategic positioning. The same comment is valid for the article "Understanding the Impact of Extrinsic and Intrinsic SCM Career Choice Factors on Career Satisfaction" that discusses human resources issues in the context of SCM. The usual array of proposals and research methods is present in the articles published: case studies, surveys and theoretical articles. 

We invite you to read the  new issue!
