Introduction
My current main research interest is Supply Chain Risk Management (particularly concerning the current moment of the automotive industry) and the implications of Industry 4.0 for the Supply Chain Management. The research methods I have been using most often are the multi-tier case studies. I have also tried, whenever possible, to increase more Artificial Intelligence techniques in my investigations.
