I am a newbie in the research domain, so I may not be asking the right forum for this information, but here it goes. I am planning to use Case Study method to investigate how companies are using biotechnology-DNA technology to secure their supply chain. What is a possible source for interview candidates for this research? If a survey is used to collect the information is there a good source for a mailing list or Supply Chain Association I can contact to send my survey to collect or gather information?

I recommend you to read: "Profitability With No Boundaries: Optimizing TOC, Lean, Six Sigma"- iTLSBOK. You can get it on Amazon for under $20.
It will provide you with many dimensions of Supply Chain Management for outstanding business performance and profitability.
You could use them as guidelines in your interview to assess your candidate's applied knowledge in SCM. Best.
You can try to contact executives from those companies that you are targeting trought linkedin

You may be able to use qualtrics to help you recruit respondents if you want to pay for them. You can also check out SCM groups in Linked in and solicit them for respondents. Or you can locate a health care facility that may be interested in your research to use their employees as respondents. There are also professional organizations that sometimes support research through their membership.
