Abstract: Summary Various papers have been published that define requirements for theory development in operations management or try to connect the knowledge generated along the different research lines. Here, we define the scope of supply chain management research and its relationship with operations management research. We show how quantitative model-driven research - especially under consideration of empirical data and simulation models - can be conducted in supply chain management research because this research type holds great potential for advancing theory. Furthermore, we illustrate our ideas via some selected research examples.
