OM Forum—Supply Chain Contracting: Doughnuts to Bubbles
追溯了供应链合同文献的起源和现状，指出其起源比许多学者认为的更早，并认为该领域曾迅速扩张形成泡沫，但泡沫已破裂，不过对教学和研究仍有持久影响。
This paper discusses the origins of the supply chain contracting literature as well as its current state. It argues that its origins go back further than many scholars realize. It also makes the case that the field expanded rapidly, creating a bubble that has largely burst. However, there have been lasting implications that affect both how we teach supply chain management and the kind of research that is done under the heading of operations management.
