My research focuses on procurement and management of supplier relationships in both the private and the public sectors. Particularly, my interests are in the following areas:
- Definition of procurement/supply chain strategies and design of strategic procurement organizations that support the implementation of such strategies.
- Everything that relates to buyer-supplier collaborations, such as antecedents and drivers of such collaborations, forms of collaboration, and behavioral aspects of collaborations (e.g., trust and commitment). I am particularly interested in researching these aspects in the context of collaborative innovations between buyers and suppliers.
- Supplier and procurement performance measurement and management, with a specific focus on design, implementation, and use of performance measurement systems.
- The intersection between project management and supply chain management, particularly regarding the implications of using different project management methods (stage-gate vs. hybrid vs. agile) on collaborative relationships with suppliers and customers.
Other than these main research areas, I also have a strong interest in government innovation policy design and implementation, as well as innovative approaches for improving supply chain management education and classroom experience.
