Personal profile

Research interests

My individual and collaborative research activities have emphasised a research focus on long-term inter-organisational relationship management across public and private organisations in dyads, supply chains/networks and large capital projects. I am also interested in behavioural aspects of individual managers (e.g. knowledge sharing and nudging to drive performance). Within this agenda, significant strands of my research explore: (i) the roles and interplay of contractual and relational governance mechanisms; (ii) the dark side of relationships, supply chains and projects such as coordination failures, conflicts and trust breaches; and (iii) sustainable supply chain management (e.g. carbon emission). My award-winning research is multidisciplinary, drawing theoretical inspiration and methodological support from operations, supply chain and project management, economics, strategy, innovation management, healthcare and policy management. Across my publications, I have used a variety of methods with a particular focus on (longitudinal) case studies and experiments as well as data sources (e.g. rich interviews, observations, site visits and workshops, experimental data, secondary and contract data). The interdisciplinary nature of my research has resulted in publications in not only core operations, supply chain and project management journals, but also publications in leading general management, industrial marketing, policy/public management and health management outlets.
