Jury’s research aspires to create scientific knowledge that inspires and enables businesses to do better for the societies they live in and the natural environment with which they constantly interact. Jury’s research has examined the organizational antecedents and performance outcomes of diverse sustainable sourcing practices like supplier auditing and supplier development. This research also investigates how the adoption and effective deployment of these practices is contingent to the structural and relational characteristics of a supply chain i.e., the pattern and depth of contractual relationships between supply chain members. Currently, this research program is expanding into the study of novel sourcing and processing practices in a circular economy i.e., when firms source and use another firm’s waste to generate environmental and economic value. This research has been featured by ‘The Conversation’ and the ‘Network for Business Sustainability’ and has appeared in top scientific journals like the Journal of Operations Management, the Journal of Supply Chain Management, and the International Journal of Operations and Productions Management, among others.
