Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Operations Management: Critical Linkages and Research Opportunities
探讨运营管理与多样性、公平与包容(DEI)之间的双向联系,从劳动力、供应链、健康与社会、技术与平台四个主题梳理研究机会,对运营管理学者和实践者均有参考价值。
How we manage operations—the domain of Operations Management (OM)—has important implications for the practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organizations. Conversely, DEI goals have important implications for organizations’ OM practices. We outline the two-way links between DEI and OM to offer future research opportunities. In particular, we examine interactions between OM and DEI across four broad themes: (1) Workforce, (2) Supply Chains, (3) Health and Society, and (4) Technology, Platforms, and Innovation. We conclude with a discussion of DEI in OM as it relates to research and teaching. This article is a collaborative effort with the Senior Editors involved in the special issue of Production and Operations Management on “DEI in Operations and Supply Chain Management.”
