Abstract

The research process in social sciences firstly requires the specification of the research subject and the development of a conceptual system (e.g. Chmielewicz 1979; Hill, Fehlbaum & Ulrich 1994; Kromrey 2009). This includes according to Kromrey (2009) a specification of terms by a semantic and a dimensional analysis, the elaboration of the status of research related to these terms, as well as related to potential causal relations. Therefore, in section 2, a deeper understanding of disruptions in general and supply chain disruptions in particular shall be provided. Based on the understanding to be developed, the focus will be narrowed down afterwards to the identification and analysis of causes of disruptions in food supply chains. How these research objectives will be pursued is depicted in the following paragraphs.
