Economics is a powerful discipline, with the potential for rich contributions to the younger, newer business school disciplines. This article first discusses the different ways economics can influence a business school discipline, followed by perspectives on the field of supply chain management. The core sections of the paper are, first, the influence of economics on supply chain management through empirical methods, and second, the influence of economics on supply chain through theories.
