Abstract：In this talk, I will present a framework for conducting empirical research in supply chain management. I will discuss how to select impactful topics, define research boundaries, and choose appropriate data sources and methodological approaches. I will highlight several promising areas for future inquiry and illustrate the framework with a recent empirical study from my own work in supply chain management.
