“…This means that, for example, the research stream on the behavioral aspects of bullwhip effect (Bullwhip and inventory optimization cluster) could decrease without compromising the development of the BOM field in general. In the future, the focus of research on personality traits (Witt et al, 2017) or behavioral aspects of, for example, transport could be more important and would result in a new cluster. Furthermore, there are currently some subfields within the BOM field that are part of the existing clusters in our analysis but that could establish standalone clusters in the future.…”

“…Furthermore, Bendoly et al (2010) defined the main bodies of knowledge outside of OM, namely cognitive psychology, social psychology, group dynamics, and system dynamics. Even though most of the papers in the field have traditionally focused on inventory, the recent papers encompass a broader variety of topics, including topics from revenue management, product development, quality management and control (Baker et al, 2017;Witt et al, 2017), production and workflow management, procurement, humanitarian logistics (Sankaranarayanan et al, 2018), services (Le, 2017), supply chain management, and risk analysis and process improvement (Bendoly et al, 2006;Croson et al, 2013;Gino and Pisano, 2008). This diversity makes a clear classification of BOM research even more crucial.…”

The rise in popularity of the behavioral operations management field has resulted in several attempts to clearly establish this multidisciplinary field. Given the divergent views of what the field actually includes, this paper attempts to contribute to an ongoing debate about the current state of the field as a research field and its future development. The paper uses Lakatos' view that suggests that instead of individual theories, scientific progress should be viewed in the context of research programs, which consist of the hard core and the protective belt. To identify subfields, the paper combines the literature review with a co-citation network analysis of the behavioral operations management field between 1957 and 2015. Six clusters are identified. The Domain base cluster represents the hard core of the field, while five other clusters (Newsvendor, Bullwhip and inventory optimization, Social goals, Supplier relationship, and Organizational behavior) represent its protective belt. In addition to the exploration of existing clusters, the analysis in the paper offers an excellent starting point to identify and position further research questions. A study like this is easily replicable and enables following the evolution of the field.

“…Furthermore, this can only be accomplished if scholars conduct a thorough investigation of the phenomenon. As numerous authors emphasize, there is an imperative need for classification of uncertainty research and a better understanding of uncertainty in projects (Witt et al, 2017;Saunders et al, 2017), as well as a need for a new perspective on uncertainty; because uncertainties frequently arise during the project, it may be impossible to define them at the outset (Bohle et al 2016). For example, the presence of uncertain information increases the risk associated with choice (Koleckzo.…”

This article aims to summarize existing research on various sources of uncertainty and to classify them based on the determinants and antecedents addressed in projects. A systematic review is conducted using a total of 140 research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals during the last three decades. We classify various uncertainty based on their individual, relational, group, organizational, project-oriented, and managerial characteristics. Additionally, we uncovered a few gaps such as, how uncertainties differ based on the size of the organization, the need for exploring uncertainty from a more cross-disciplinary perspective, differentiating the concept of complexity and risk with uncertainty and the role of chaos theory, that require future study. By leveraging significant findings, this is study contributes from the perspective of theory and practice to academic, project, and industrial management discipline.
