The overall theme of the group lies within two intersecting pillars: firstly, managing complex n-tier pharma and healthcare supply chains from a sustainability, risk and innovation perspective; and secondly, applying social and organizational theory lenses to study the adoption and the implications of technological and organizational innovations for pharmaceuticals and healthcare.

Our focus on the technological, and socio-organisational nature of innovation, sustainability, and risk within Pharma supply chains and healthcare systems has been reflected in publications in a wide variety of highly-ranked journals, including MIS Quarterly, Organization Studies, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, British Journal of Management, Social Science and Medicine, Sociology of Health and Illness, Research Policy, British Medical Journal, Organisation, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Supply Chain Management, Journal of Business Ethics, and International Journal of Production Economics.
