Abstract: Summary This paper will outline some basic issues on action research. It aims to provide an overview of the development of action research methodology. In this context, scientific theoretical discussions play an important role. Action research is less used in supply chain management research when compared to other methodologies. Against this background, it will also be discussed what approaches are used for problems and perspectives for using action research in supply chain management. Action research has a special philosophy of science background, namely that this is not the preferred science philosophy in supply chain management or operations management. The use of action research causes problems, but so does the use of other research methodologies. Therefore, there are a lot of opportunities to create knowledge by using action research.
