Elcio Mendonça Tachizawa is an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. His lines of research focus on the interface between supply chain management and sustainability. Currently, he investigates the effects of digitalization on the sustainability and transparency of supply chains, in its various forms (blockchain, Internet of Things, Smart contracts, AI, etc). He also investigates new teaching methodologies, both face-to-face and online, having published several articles on the subject. He was a research fellow at the Center for Operations and Supply Chain Research (COSCR) at the University of Leeds, where he did a research stay in 2013.
In 2022, he has received the “Nigel Slack” Teaching Innovation Award from the European Operations Management Association (EurOMA), for the paper “Microcase studies in Operations Management teaching”. In 2016, his article "How 'smart cities' will change supply chain management", published in Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, has received the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence in the category “Outstanding paper” (2016). In addition, his article "Green supply management approaches: Drivers and performance implications", published in the International Journal of Operations & Production Management, has been recognized as a "Highly commended paper" in the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence in the same year.
