A Replication Study of Non‐Incentivized Scenario‐Based Experiments
复制了2006至2022年间九篇高被引供应链管理论文中的非激励情境实验，发现边界条件并完善理论，强调复制研究对验证科学发现的重要性。
ABSTRACT The importance of replication research in the supply chain management (SCM) discipline is increasingly recognized, as it provides verification of scientific findings. Our study responds to recent calls by focusing on nine influential SCM papers that employ non‐incentivized scenario‐based experiments. We selected highly cited papers published between 2006 and 2022 to replicate and worked closely with the original authors to ensure our replications were appropriate and rigorous. Our findings highlight several important themes concerning these studies, particularly concerning the discovery of boundary conditions and the refinement of theories. We underscore the importance of conducting replication studies to verify our research foundations, reassess the managerial landscape, and reevaluate our understanding of decision‐making behaviors. Our study contributes to the ongoing discussion on replication research in SCM, which is especially critical given the discipline's dynamic nature, and opens a dialogue about why we should not always expect studies to replicate and how to interpret results when replications are not successful. We maintain that replication research is necessary to build a solid foundation of knowledge that informs both theory and practice.
