Reflecting on theoretical frameworks helps in supporting and guiding OM research toward significant concerns and advancing OM knowledge. For example, focusing managerial attention on organizations’ internal resources towards identifying assets and competencies able to allow superior competitive advantages, the resource-based theory (Barney, 1991; Wernerfelt, 1984) is frequently used to support Supply Chain Management and Resource Allocation research projects. Thus, which theoretical frameworks had, are, and will support operations management research? In what specific field(s)? How does it apply?
