The supply chain is always disruptive, with or without the pandemic. Jade's overarching research interest is supply chain disruption in two directions: upstream and downstream. Her primary research stream centers on the decision-making in buyer-supplier exchanges, both in a steady operative and disruptive mode. Her secondary research stream examines consumer reactions to supply chain disruptions, such as in sustainability and food chain through transparency. Using multi-staged experimental studies, Jade connects both areas to infer further the causal effect of buyers, suppliers, and consumers' decision processes.
Before joining UNI, Jade taught intermediate supply chain management at the University of Tennessee during her Ph.D. and received the Outstanding Doctoral Teaching Award from Haslam Business School at UT.
Participated in a study abroad program and interned with Walmart Global Sourcing Office in India for three months.
