Abstract
An article published in the REGE journal in 2013 proposed a mapping of Operations Management themes from the editorial space provided in major journals and conference proceedings in the area. Based on this proposal, the present study conducted a survey to capture the importance assigned to those themes by researchers, teachers and practitioners and the way in which they categorize such themes. A factor analysis of the responses resulted in nine factors, seven of which have a composition structure for their variables that is very similar to that of the article published in the proceedings. Thus, the results obtained herein confirm and refine the mapping previously obtained, providing a further step in the discussion of themes relevant to the area of Operations Management.
Highlights
The practice of mapping themes based on topics defined as recommendations for authors by international journals of reference has been used by several authors in scientific studies in Operations Management (SCUDDER; HILL, 1998; ARKADER, 2003; CORREA; PAIVA; PRIMO, 2010; PAIVA; BRITO, 2013; PEINADO; GRAEML, 2014)
An article published at Revista de Gestão (REGE), an academic journal by the University of Sao Paulo, proposed the mapping of Operations Management themes based on the editorial space provided in major journals and conference proceedings in the area (PEINADO; GRAEML, 2013)
A factor analysis was performed with the data collected by means of the survey and several statistical tests were carried out in order to assess the strength of the constructs and to confirm the dimensions proposed in the referred mapping of Operations Management themes, allowing for its refinement
Summary
The practice of mapping themes based on topics defined as recommendations for authors by international journals of reference has been used by several authors in scientific studies in Operations Management (SCUDDER; HILL, 1998; ARKADER, 2003; CORREA; PAIVA; PRIMO, 2010; PAIVA; BRITO, 2013; PEINADO; GRAEML, 2014). In an analysis of the scientific research produced between 1990 and 2003 in accounting, Cardoso et al (2005) developed a thematic classification system composed of eleven main themes, which was adapted from the topics proposed by the AAA (American Accounting Association) and the EAA (European Accounting Association) Www.bbronline.com.br is important to map the knowledge of academic papers published in a particular area because it enables the evaluation and reflection about these works In another analysis of the national and international scientific publications on franchising produced between 1998 and 2007, Melo and Andreassi (2010) developed their own thematic classification system, consisting of 24 main themes. Martinez (2013) reviewed the recent academic literature about results management in Brazil with the purpose of identifying the main research themes in the Brazilian context and the results that interested users, regulators and those who prepare financial demonstrations
