报告简介：

Brief description: This presentation aims to provide an overview how to obtain data through text mining for the purpose of supporting the research in Production Economics. After introducing the main processes, tasks and tools of text mining, we present three undergoing studies. In the first example (Gao and Tang, 2017), text mining is used for literature review in supply chain risk management. The intellectual structure of the field is analysed by CiteSpace. Important terms, keywords, cooperation relation, cited references are structed and investigated. Furthermore, in order to extract literature contents, we propose a framework by using text mining approaches to identify the topics in the field. Topic words extracted by Latent Dirichlet allocation technology reveal some interesting variation of topics in the field. The study not only updates the review in supply chain risk management, but also illustrates the possibility to objectively review literature with the support of text mining technology, i.e. our newly developed framework. This framework can also be easily applied to other research fields for providing a general overview of the existing body of literature.

 

Prof. Ou Tang

Ou Tang is Professor of Production Economics at Link?ping University in Sweden. His aim of the research is threefold: first to identify and document the operations problems in production systems through industrial survey and case investigation, second to develop analytical models to understand, compare and analyse different production processes, and third to propose managerial principles for improving system performances. His principal research interests lie in the field of operations and supply chain management.
