INTRODUCTION TO THE DISCUSSION FORUM ON USING EXPERIMENTS IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT RESEARCH

The use of laboratory experiments in supply chain management research is gaining momentum and provides an opportunity for researchers to make exciting new contributions to the field. In this introductory essay, we describe the motivation for the discussion forum, and introduce the four remaining essays presented in the forum. These essays discuss various topics concerning experimental research, with the goal of enhancing our community's understanding of experimental methods.
