DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: Process theories in operations management \n\n 
 Abstract: This presentation argues for a stronger use of process theories 
 in Operations Management by contrasting them with variance theories and sh
 owing why time ordering\, mechanisms\, and dynamic causality are essential
  for explaining organizational change. It reviews foundational and contemp
 orary work on process theorizing\, highlighting how process perspectives c
 an better support theory building\, data interpretation\, and the study of
  change over time. Illustrative examples from Operations Management resear
 ch are used to demonstrate how process theorizing can generate richer expl
 anations of why organizational transformations succeed or fail. \n\n Bio:
