Seeing the Humans: Theorizing and Researching People and Communities in OSCM

A lunch research seminar at the POLIMI School of Management on bringing people and communities back into operations and supply chain management research. The session argues that a field built on flows, nodes and optimisation has tended to abstract away the humans inside the system, and looks at what changes methodologically and theoretically when workers and affected communities are treated as subjects rather than parameters. 12:15 at Campus Bovisa, Building BL26, Via Raffaele Lambruschini 4/B. Open to researchers and doctoral students, free to attend. Why go: it is an academic seminar and priced accordingly in effort — useful if supply chain research or labour conditions in operations is your actual work. Best for OSCM researchers and PhD students; not a practitioner session.
