Research and Researchers: The Enduring Value of Conferences to Logistics and Supply Chain Scholars
强调学术会议对物流与供应链学者的核心作用，指出CSCMP年度全球会议及学术研究研讨会是推进学科前沿、强化传统与价值的关键平台。
Academic conferences serve the critical purposes of bringing together scholars to not only advance the state of the art in research, teaching, and practice, but also to socialize with established and prospective members of the academic society. In this way, conferences help to instill and reinforce the values of the academic society. Logistics and supply chain scholars are increasingly targeted to join in the dialogue of different academic networks and attend conferences in tangential disciplines. This editorial speaks to the growing affinity for logistics and supply chain scholars in different disciplinary settings, yet underscores the CSCMP Annual Global Conference ( AGC ) and its Academic Research Symposium (ARS) as the premier forums for advancing the state of the art in supply chain scholarship and reinforcing the discipline’s traditions and values.
