Research Interests

My research focuses on the dynamics of supply networks. I am particularly interested in understanding the complexities of inter-firm relationships in the context of business triads and tetrads. A significant part of my work explores the transition to service-based business models and how this shift impacts firm performance and shareholder value. I also investigate critical contemporary issues in supply chain management, including strategies for enhancing risk management and building resilient supply chains, as well as advancing supply chain sustainability.
