Doctoral Research in Supply Chain Management and/or Logistics-Related Areas: 1999-2004

This paper presents an overview and summary of doctoral dissertations related to supply chain management (SCM) and logistics for the period of 1999-2004. A total of 410 entries from Dissertation Abstracts have been identified. Findings relating to this latest study period are presented and comparisons are made to previous compendiums covering 1970-1986, 1987-1991 and 1992-1998. A larger number of colleges and universities are granting degrees in SCM and logistics-related areas and some new institutions have entered the field, resulting in a distinct increasing trend in the absolute number of dissertations being published. The most popular dissertation topics in current research are decision support systems, inventory management, miscellaneous transportation (models, networks, policy issues, routing and scheduling) and supply chain management issues. Traditional transportation, warehousing and storage, distribution resource planning, just-in-time, Kanban and manufacturing resource planning topics have experienced downturns in terms of the number of doctoral dissertations being published. Relatively few dissertations in any of the time periods have been published on engineering logistics, human resources, location analysis, order processing and information systems, packaging and total quality management.
