My research focuses on operational capability development, organizational adaptation, and managerial decision making in operations and supply chain contexts. I am particularly interested in how organizations respond to resource constraints, sustainability pressures, and operational complexity. A related stream of my research examines how management education develops students' ability to address complex operational problems.
This research examines how Lean principles are implemented and adapted in operational settings characterized by resource constraints and process variability. My work considers both the organizational conditions that shape Lean implementation and the operational challenges that influence how improvement practices are applied.
This stream examines how firms develop procurement and supply chain capabilities in response to sustainability pressures and resource constraints. Particular attention is given to SMEs, where limited resources can shape how sustainability practices are adopted, adapted, and translated into operational capabilities.
This research examines how organizations adapt established management approaches to fit their operational and institutional contexts. I am particularly interested in how resource-constrained organizations sequence, modify, and recontextualize change practices rather than implementing prescribed models exactly as designed.
This stream examines how students develop analytical and managerial capabilities through operations and supply chain management education. My research considers authentic learning, case-based analysis, instructional design, and variation in student learning outcomes, with particular attention to how students apply disciplinary knowledge to complex managerial problems.
