This week on the podcast, Brent sits down with two Walton College colleagues, Dr. Mary Lacity, David D. Glass Chair and Distinguished Professor of Information Systems and Dr. Remko Van Hoek, Professor of Practice in Supply Chain Management to discuss their co-authored recent work on research that is working in real-time with industry partners. During the episode they discuss their collaborative research exploring emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, much of which is conducted in partnership with industry. In particular, Mary and Remko highlight a recent study that was done in partnership with Walmart analyzing AI applications in supply chain management. Their paper on the topic was also featured in the Harvard Business Review.
