The vertical flowchart is titled “PRACTICAL THEORISING MODEL” at the top. The process begins with a large box containing two research questions: “R Q 1: How can the integration of Operations slash Supply Chain Management and International Relations theories enhance our understanding of the causes, propagation, and consequences of geopolitical supply chain disruptions question mark” and “R Q 2: In what ways can a theoretical conceptualization of global supply chain disruptions inform and support managerial strategies question mark”. From this box, a downward arrow leads to a box labeled “Mode of theorising: Deductive slash Informal”. Another downward arrow connects to a box labeled “Level of analysis: Global Supply Chains”. The flow continues downward via an arrow to a box labeled “Phenomenon: Geopolitical Disruptions to Supply Chains”. A further downward arrow leads to a box labeled “Boundary conditions: set by the event (existence of disruptions to S Cs)”. Finally, a downward arrow connects to the last box labeled “Output: theoretical propositions of defining slash explaining slash prescribing character”.Practical theorising model based on Makadok et al.
