Research interests
Steve’s research has focused on two main areas: supply chain management and process improvement. In the former, his work has concentrated on the environmental and ethical issues that arise in global supply chains, and the ensuing problems of measurement and transparency. His work on process improvement has centred on the translation of ideas from manufacturing, especially the Toyota Production System, to service settings such as healthcare, law and government.
In recent years, Steve has concentrated his efforts on understanding the consequences of generative artificial intelligence on university education, and has been involved in efforts across Oxford to develop policies in this area.
