The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) presents the Bernard J. La Londe Best Paper Award to the most valuable paper published in the Journal of Business Logistics (JBL) during CSCMP's Annual Conference. The Best Paper Award 2018 was presented during the 2018 CSCMP conference in Nashville, TN.
Intuition might be able to complement rationality as an effective decision-making approach. But what exactly constitutes intuition in a supply chain context? This study uses an extensive mixed-method approach (qualitative content analysis plus quantitative testing) to conceptualize intuition as a multidimensional construct consisting of experience-based, emotional, and automatic-processing dimensions. This can be considered a foundational contribution to SCM decision making research. Future investigations can be more comprehensive and better mirror business reality – a critical step because real-life decision processes almost always use both modes, rational and intuitive ones.
