Daniel’s core interest is in buyer-supplier engagement, particularly where there are complex relationships that are high risk and that develop over extended periods. Daniel’s research, teaching and consulting interests have two foci. First, Daniel is interested in understanding how supplier firms create value, how buyer firms realise value, and how relationships determine the nature of value at multiple levels of interaction. Current projects centre on developing ‘value narratives’ for complex solutions, integrating circular economy principles into complex value propositions, and supply chain sustainability. Second, Daniel is interested the application of computer science techniques to address problems that arise from buyer-supplier engagement. This includes for situational awareness and in understanding human factors, particularly as these pose risks to the viability of buyer-supplier engagements. Core topics include customer relationship management, supplier selection, contract monitoring and information integrity.
