About

Introduction

Sridharan has extensive publications in the field of supply chain collaboration over the last seven years. He has an international reputation for his research in supply chain collaboration. His innovative contributions in developing an integrative framework for supply chain collaboration, an index for measuring collaboration and the concept of benchmarking collaboration have been well received by the research community. His research has attracted more than 700 citations and he has won multiple awards for his research. Over the last few years he has used his quantitative skills to enhance the understanding of measuring collaboration and using it for benchmarking performance. His research priority is to continuously refine and improve the understanding of collaboration in supply chains.

Sridharan has received an Outstanding Paper Award and a Highly Commended Paper Award for his research in supply chain collaboration from international refereed journals. Sridharan was recently invited to join the editorial board of the Journal of Operations and Supply Chain Management.
