OverviewAI-generated summary
Matthew A. Waller's research focuses on supply chain management, with an emphasis on information sharing, data science, and the adoption of new production methodologies. He has investigated the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in firms, examining constructs related to its adoption and comparing quality management practices in TQM versus non-TQM organizations. His work also explores the role of latent variables in business logistics, specifically concerning scale development and validation for research purposes.
Further research by Waller delves into the impact of big data, predictive analytics, and data science on supply chain design and management, particularly in the context of a "maker movement" supply chain. He has also examined the theoretical underpinnings of supply chain research, advocating for the relevance of theory in understanding complex supply chain dynamics. His research group and active lab website indicate ongoing work in these areas. Waller is recognized as a highly cited researcher, with a h-index of 33 and over 5,000 citations across 92 publications.
