Abstract
Purpose – Based on the combined experiences of Operations and Supply Chain Management (O&SCM) scholars and a reflective practitioner, the paper compares, contrasts and reconciles
the competences needed to research O&SCM practice and to practice O&SCM research. The paper locates these competences for young faculty in relation to their ambitions and career choices.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based upon the contributions made at EurOMA 2014 Young Scholars Workshop. The theme and program of the workshop was “Operations management – research and practice”. Findings – The paper outlines first the concept of the Young Scholars Workshop, the evolution of themes and the specific focus of the 2014 workshop. It concludes with a
reflection on the career development of O&SCM scholars, their potential role, as academics or practitioners, in the development of O&SCM theory and practice, and the role of collaborative research in that development.
Practical implications – This paper shows what it takes for O&SCM researchers to engage with “the world around us” involves and, vice versa, how “doctorate” OM and SCM practitioners may successfully solve practical problems and engage with the O&SCM world
surrounding them in doing so.
Originality/value – The paper presents an integrated collection of viewpoints of O&SCM scholars and a reflective practitioner on the competences needed to research OM practice and to practice OM research.
