Research

We focus our research on three themes:

1. Innovations and Sourcing Strategies

Under this theme, Finn Wynstra has recently published papers in Journal of Operations Management and Journal of Product Innovation Management, and continues to work with colleagues from University of Twente and Kellogg School of Management.

2. Healthcare Procurement

Under this theme, Erik van Raaij collaborates with the Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM) and the University of Twente in the multi-year project Performance in Healthcare Procurement. 

3. Buying Business Services

Under this third theme, Finn Wynstra and Wendy Van der Valk have published papers in International Journal of Operations and Production Management and IMP Journal and a book chapter in Case Study Methodology in Business Research, by Jan Dul and Tony Hak (2008, Elsevier). We have organized and chaired special tracks at recent IMP and IPSERA conferences, and continue to work together with our colleagues from Stockholm School of Economics and Lancaster University in this area.
