Abstract
We postulate that the study of diversity, equity, and inclusion can deepen and add relevance to research in operations management (OM). Specifically, the role of gender is little studied in the existing OM literature – to the detriment of the field. This article considers OM issues by employing the theories, data, and topics from the field of Women’s Studies. Our findings indicate that incorporating viewpoints from Women’s Studies can change what is considered research, improve the accuracy of OM research, extend existing studies in the field through new parameters, and open new areas of inquiry.
我们认为,对多样性、公平性和包容性的研究可以深化运营管理(OM)研究,并增加其相关性。具体而言,在现有的运营管理文献中,对性别角色的研究很少--这对该领域是不利的。本文通过运用妇女研究领域的理论、数据和主题来探讨运营管理问题。我们的研究结果表明,纳入妇女研究的观点可以改变被认为是研究的内容,提高 OM 研究的准确性,通过新的参数扩展该领域的现有研究,并开辟新的研究领域。
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
