物流管理研究方法的应用现状与比较分析

The Situation and Comparative Analysis of Research Methods Applied in Logistics Area

研究物流管理问题离不开选用正确的研究方法,物流管理本身有跨学科、跨功能、体系结构松散的特征,使得许多研究者都是从本学科出发,用本学科惯用的研究方法来研究物流问题.通过分析目前物流学界使用的物流研究方法,可以发现一些趋势:多种研究方法并用,研究角度多样化,定性分析与定量分析相结合,人们更加注重使用调查、实验、观察等方法来解释分析问题.多角度研究,多方法配合使用,以及对研究方法的创新使用可以在物流研究领域中寻得更多研究机会.

It＇s very important for scholar to analyze problems in terms of the right methods, especially in logis tics field. Considering that logistics issues always are corn prehensive, systematic, and interdisciplinary, scholars trends to use their familiar methods which were always ap plied in their original discipline. This paper compares differ ent research methods applied in logistics area and finds out some tendency： combination of different methods.multi-perspective conclusion ＂qualitative analysis with quantitative a nalysis＂ pattern increased, and empirical research attracts more attention. Taking advantage of the trends can find more research opportunities in logistics field.
