Abstract
Logistics research has been successful in building a plethora of theor y through the use of techniques such as analytical and conceptual mode ls, case studies, and nonscientific inductive interpretations of empir ical observation. The authors propose an increased application of scie ntific survey research as a means of mars rigorously scrutinizing the ''axioms'' of logistics as well as providing clarity and dependability to the constructs common to logistics research.
