OverviewAI-generated summary

Brian S. Fugate's research program investigates supply chain management, with a particular focus on organizational decision-making and network structures. His work examines how external disruptions, such as global events or regulatory changes, impact supply chain operations and firm performance. Fugate has studied the effects of CEO characteristics and the structure of supply chain networks on a firm's ability to adapt and repurpose its operations during times of disruption. He also explores the diffusion of corporate social responsibility practices within supply chains, analyzing relational factors that influence adoption.

Fugate's research also delves into the specific challenges and decision-making processes of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and family businesses, often within the agricultural sector. His publications address the unintended consequences of government regulations, such as the Food Safety Modernization Act, on these smaller entities. Furthermore, he investigates the relationship between government contracting, supplier network composition, and both short-term and long-term firm performance, as well as how communication pathways influence sustainable supply chain practices. Fugate holds a high-impact researcher designation, evidenced by his h-index of 29 and over 3,500 citations across 62 publications.
