Convenience sampling was used in this paper to select 200 managers from the Malaysia
manufacturing industry for data collection.
Data collection
The data collection method used in this paper was a questionnaire administered to managers in
the Malaysia manufacturing industry to gather information on supply chain management
strategy, practices, and performance.

The paper does not mention a specific sampling method as it focuses on developing a
framework for measuring the performance of service supply chains.
Data collection
The paper does not specify a particular data collection method as it primarily focuses on
developing a framework for measuring the performance of service supply chains.
Statistical tool
The paper utilizes the fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (fuzzy-AHP) method as a statistical
tool in the proposed framework for service supply chain performance measurement.

Research approach
The research approach in this paper involves analyzing optimal order policies for retailers in
single and dual sourcing systems with green growth mechanisms and environmentally sensitive
customers.
Sampling
The paper does not mention any specific sampling method as it is a theoretical study based on
mathematical modeling and optimization techniques.
Data collection
The paper does not involve data collection as it is a theoretical study based on mathematical
models and optimization techniques.
Statistical tool
The paper does not utilize statistical tools as it focuses on theoretical modeling and
optimization techniques in inventory control and supply chain management.
6) Sustainable supply chain management using approximate fuzzy DEMATEL method
Research approach
Fuzzy arithmetic is one of the main techniques in fuzzy DEMATEL technology. In this section,
some basic definitions of fuzzy arithmetic are present

example experimented to help identify the best supplier among a set of suppliers. This group
includes the production manager, the quality manager, the material manager, the maintenance
manager,the research and development manager, and the planning manager which has six
working experts. The initialdirect fuzzy matrix from the assessment data of the expert

application. This study uses multiple stages of sample selection and data collection, including
qualitative and quantitative surveys
statistical tool
In order to access the casual relationships between strategic objectives, this study examinesD˜i
+ R˜ i,D˜i − R˜ i, (D˜i + R˜ i)def , and (D˜i − R˜ i)def with two fuzzy operations (-cut and
(Tω)˛). D˜i is re the sum of rows total-relation fuzzy matrix and R˜ i is sum of columns
7) Issues in Supply Chain Management: Progress and potential
Research approach
an action research approach was used to explore how the Collaboration Framework can be used
to develop Product Service Agreements (PSAs) and create joint action plans for value co-
creation
sampling
Theoretical sampling was used to select two pairs of relationships (one pair was between a
customer firm and two of its key suppliers and the other pair was between a supplier firm and
two of its key customers). The relationships within each pair were comparable in terms of
business volume and importance
Data collection
lean supply chain configuration, in which the focus is on efficiencies, waste elimination and
variability reduction is suitable for products with stable demand patterns (e.g., products that
are manufactured in large volumes or that are in the maturity of their life cycles). An agile
supply chain configuration is focused on increasing responsiveness to uncertain demand
statistical tool
The correct implementation of this process enables management not only to make the reverse
product flow efficient but to identify opportunities to reduce unwanted returns (avoidance) and
to control reusable assets such as containers. While significant opportunities to reduce costs
are possible through better management of reverse logistic
8) Traceability implementation in the food supply chain: A grey-DEMATEL approach
Research approach
Additionally, this study is focused on the FSC, but in future studies, it can be extended to
another specific supply chain such as fruit supply chain, Halal supply chain and perishable food
supply chain
Sampling
The finding of this research suggests that the most influential driver is, ‘‘food safety and
quality” and the most influenced driver is, ‘‘competitive advantage.
Data collection
The initial direct relationship matrix is developed using the evaluation of criteria c = {ci|i = 1,
2, ..., n} by H experts regarding pair-wise relations. Their corresponding grey number replaces
the element of this matrix (Please see Table 2). Hence, the H number of Z1 , Z2 ; Z3 ....,ZH
direct-relation grey matrix is obtained from the H-experts. The element of direct-relation grey
matrix is represented as ‘‘ Zk ij” (i.e. createria ‘‘i” influence ‘‘j”
by expert k)
Statistical tool
The stepwise procedure of grey-DEMATEL achieves the causal relationship among the
identified driver. A group of eight experts, from the academia and industry, provided feedback
regarding the drivers

10) Imperatives of the science of operations and supply chain management
Research approach
Although knowledge in operations and supply-chain management (O&SCM) has advanced
substantially during the last six decades, our community has not fully utilized the potential for
radical innovations. We identify two sets of opportunities for pursuing radical innovations
Sampling
First, there is an opportunity to pursue all phases of science, including exploratory and
qualitative research, developing theories, causation and internal validity, and testing models
and theories for external validity (the ability to generalize knowledge to other situations). This
would broaden the domain covered by each research effort, minimize the bias resulting from
the choice of research paradigm and research domain
Data collection
A new entrant could first encroach on an existing market from the high end where the customer
willingness to pay was high and then progress downward to a market segment with a lower
willingness to pay. After four decades of research on the three perspectives, we are still not sure
what other unresolved issues exist. Nor do we have a complete triangulation that addresses and
explains the three related sets of findings.
Conclusion
In a separate paper (Singhal and Singhal, 2011), we propose and analyze specific steps for
pursuing all phases of science, including multiple perspectives. These steps include
organization of networks of research teams, the roles of outliers in radical innovation and risk
management, analyses of industries with unusual characteristics, and the roles of meta-analysis
and synthesis of published works
