PhD in Management, Supply Chain, Operations and Technology Management
The Operations, Supply Chain and Technology Management Ph.D. program at Lazaridis School of Business and Economics is highly ranked in Canada. Throughout my Ph.D. studies, I received amazing supports from my supervisors and all the other faculty members in the program. The program put tremendous emphasis on student’s personal skill developments and I’ve been provided with so many opportunities to advance my skills in conducting research.
The new digital era has provided unprecedented opportunities to gather information from different segments within organizations and create integrated models to effectively coordinate all the plans of the business in a single plan. My research goals are to (1) find the new possibilities for coordination within organizations who are adopting new technologies and are moving toward digitalization; (2) propose new profit maximization models that can consider the changes in sales and operations plans as a result of the move toward digitalization; (3) develop effective solution methodologies for solving the proposed models to ease the decision-making process and increase the applicability of the results.
My primary research as a Ph.D. candidate at Wilfrid Laurier University focused on the sales and operations interconnected decisions in a fresh produce supply chain. I studied different coordination mechanisms for fresh produce supply chains in which the retailer can observe the quality grade of products at each stage using advanced testing and the information gathered by item-level tracking technologies such as radio-frequency identification(RFID) temperature tags.
I hope that my teaching and research experiences would help me to get a research and teaching position in a university. In an academic position, I’ll be pursuing my research ideas to advance the understanding of the consequences of adopting new technologies and moving toward digitalization on operations decisions.
