About

Holds the Sears Chair in Global Supply Chain Management and is the Faculty Director of the Global Supply Chain Lab in the John Chambers College of Business at West Virginia University. In his research he poses the fundamental over-arching research question: “What are the significant managerial levers in logistics and can managers set these levers to maximize supply chain performance?” Given his background an area of special interest is global supply chains. As part of this are interests in supply chain disruptions and information systems that can improve logistics and other supply chain management processes in global supply chains. Finally, his personal experience has led him to recognize the importance of the human element in supply chains, which is now an important component of his research. His research spans the globe covering North America, Europe and Asia and has been published in the Journal of Business Logistics, Transportation Research Part E, and the Journal of Supply Chain Management, among other journals. His research have won numerous awards including the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Bernard J. La Londe Best Paper Award 2013 and the E. Grosvenor Plowman Award at the Annual Supply Chain Educators’ Conference 2014. He also serves on the Editorial Review Board of the Journal of Business Logistics.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
