About

Harri Lorentz is a leading scholar in supply chain management, whose research illuminates the critical intersection of managerial decision-making and operational resilience. His work focuses on how cognitive factors, particularly managerial confidence, shape responses to supply chain disruptions—a key area of inquiry for modern logistics and risk management. In his highly cited paper, "Confidence and supply chain disruptions" (2012, 31 citations), Lorentz provides a groundbreaking conceptual framework that argues managerial behavior, rather than the disruption itself, often determines the long-term impact on supply chains. This contribution has been instrumental in shifting the field toward a more behavioral understanding of supply chain dynamics, influencing both academic research and practical strategies for building resilient operations. Beyond this seminal work, Lorentz has made notable contributions to the study of international supply chains and food logistics, earning recognition as a thought leader in the field. His research continues to guide students and practitioners in navigating the complexities of global supply networks.
