Weeks 2-3 Assignment
Dr. Thomas Schaefer
Incorporation and Analysis of the Learning
Resources
• Contingency theory, classical organization
theory, and information processing theory.
• Theory of reasoned action, theory of planned
behavior, technology acceptance model.
• Supply chain management practices.
• Behavior associated with supply chain
management processes.
Gaps in the Literature
Most studies found were geared
towards business operations and
planning strategies
Supply chain organizations focused on
traditional methods such as risk
management plan, forecasting,
contingency plan, or supply flexibility
methodology
Behavioral factors missing in
developing processes and
implementation of industry standards

Original Research Topic Related to the Week’s
Literature

Preliminary search, critical review, and


proper placement of the research
findings.
– Supply chain management utilizes numerous
methodologies.
– Supply chain management is primarily focused
on processes.
– Behavioral factors were missing from all of the
supply chain methods.
