Abstract

Student subject research is rarely used and published in the OM field. This study investigates whether there is a place for student subjects-based research in our discipline and, if so, to define when such research is appropriate. Three major issues are discussed: (i) validity trade-offs and methodological choices, (ii) the nature and relevance of dissimilarity between students and practitioners, and (iii) the empirical evidence of generalizability.
