Our Research Areas
Multidimensional Collaboration
When companies jointly implement new technologies, collaboration can take multiple forms. Collaboration becomes a key driver of competitive advantage.
Digital Supply Chain Capabilities

Artificial Intelligence and Supply Chain Management
AI promises to augment human capabilities and reshape companies. The reality of AI adoption in SCM finds itself deep in a cosmos of apparent contradictions.
