【摘要】

Researchers in Operations and Supply Chain Management are increasingly seeking to ground and apply their work in industry. This not only responds to stronger calls for impact, but brings much more satisfaction in our endeavours.I provide motivation for getting Operations and Supply Chain Management “right”, and an overview of my recent research streams (in Sustainable Supply Chain, Retail Operations, Cold Chain Logistics, and Health & Safety). I then survey multiple research domains, frameworks and research ideas. To encourage new research I present multiple illustrations from my research, including “Optimization and ‘Changing the Givens’”, Analytical and Empirical approaches to Procurement Leadtimes, Logistics in China, inventory in China, Retail Operations in China, and Behavioural Considerations of Queueing in China.The presentation should prove helpful to academics and postgraduate students seeking research direction, grounding, and application. The ideas presented can also be used in teaching, to inspire and encourage students.The format seeks engagement and interaction, and will drill down on the areas of particular interest to participants.
