OverviewAI-generated summary
Brian S. Fugate's research program focuses on supply chain management, operational decision-making, and the impact of external factors on firm performance. He has investigated how supply chain networks and leadership characteristics influence a company's ability to adapt to global disruptions, as evidenced by his publication on "Supply chain plasticity during a global disruption: Effects of CEO and supply chain networks on operational repurposing." His work also examines the diffusion of corporate social responsibility initiatives within supply chains and the relational dynamics between customers and suppliers.
Further research by Fugate delves into the specific challenges and decision-making processes of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and family businesses, particularly within the agricultural sector. Publications such as "The role of small and medium enterprise and family business distinctions in decision‐making: Insights from the farm echelon" and "Farming down the drain: Unintended consequences of the Food Safety Modernization Act’s Produce Rule on small and very small farms" highlight his interest in how regulatory policies and firm characteristics affect operational outcomes.
Fugate also studies the implications of government contracting and supplier network structures on short-term and long-term business performance, as well as the communication pathways that contribute to "sustainable supply chain contagion." His scholarship has been recognized with a high-impact researcher designation, reflected in his h-index of 29 and over 3,600 citations across 62 publications. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including David Dobrzykowski and Matthew A. Waller.
