“My dissertation explores the interplay between supply chain visibility and supply chain dynamics, and while doing this, I seek to introduce labor conflicts and unrest into our understanding of supply chain ecosystems,” said Prof KIM. “My dissertation topic was shaped by my academic interests in social networks as well as my personal passion for better labor practices and safer working conditions. Being considered for and winning this year’s William C. Frederick SIM Doctoral Dissertation Award is a tremendous honor. I humbly accept it as a pat on the back, encouraging and reminding me to keep pursuing the research I dearly care about.”
