Shujaat Mubarik
Associate Professor (L& SCM) & Head of Research (Mktg & Operations) at Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University, UK
Dr. Mubarik is known for his work in supply chain management, focusing on the strategic integration of human resources and emerging digital technologies to foster sustainable and resilient supply chains. His research is partly rooted in the concept of intellectual capital — the aggregate of human, relational, and structural capital of an organization — and its pivotal role in enhancing the resilience and sustainability of supply chains, particularly in the face of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, Dr. Mubarik has pinpointed a gap in the existing methodologies for assessing supply chain mappings. To address this, Mubarik and colleagues (Mubarik et al., 2023) innovated a novel scale that enables organizations to evaluate and improve their supply chain mapping processes.
