OverviewAI-generated summary

Rodney Thomas's research focuses on supply chain management and international logistics, particularly in the context of disruptions and consumption patterns. His work investigates how information within sustainable supply chains can influence last-mile delivery consumption from a social exchange perspective. He has also examined the dynamic effects of the U.S. import air freight market during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing its impact across different phases of the disruption.

Further research by Thomas explores the value-in-use perspective of retail stockout costs and the development of flexible responses to global supply chain disruptions, drawing on empirical evidence from international logistics. He also contributes to the understanding of retail media networks, defining their development and differentiation. Thomas maintains an active lab website and leads a research group, collaborating with other faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Molly Inhofe Rapert, Stéphanie Thomas, and Matthew A. Waller.
