Research summary
AI-generated

John Gray's work focuses on how companies manage their supply chains, including decisions about outsourcing production overseas, managing risks from suppliers, and balancing worker safety with business performance. His research often examines how firms weigh costs against other values (like quality, safety, and integrity) when sourcing goods or managing operations, drawing on examples from industries such as pharmaceuticals and manufacturing. This research area sits at the intersection of operations management and business ethics/policy, and would suit students interested in how organizations make sourcing and risk-management decisions.
