Abstract (english) : This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the use of case-based methodologies when researching supply chains. We first draw on Stuart et al. (2002) as well as other researchers in the operations management (OM) field and pioneering authors (Eisenhardt, 1989; Yin, 1993; Miles & Huberman, 1994) to examine the process of conducting case based research. We proceed from its theoretical foundations to the eventual dissemination of the research findings. We also examine how six other researchers have dealt with each stage of the research process as part of their case studies within supply chains. Finally, we illustrate this by presenting the critical decisions made in our research on supply relationships (inter- and intra- firm) and the key pitfalls we encountered.
