Rate My Professor Samar Aladem

Dr. Aladem's research centers on supply chain management, with a particular emphasis on resilience in business networks, humanitarian aid supply chains, crisis management, and network orchestration mechanisms. Her doctoral work at UWA's Business School developed a resilience framework for aid networks through in-depth qualitative research investigating international and local NGO collaboration during the Syrian refugee crisis in Jordan. She has contributed to peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (volume 8, issue 3, pages 295-322, 2018) and Industrial Marketing Management. Notable publications encompass 'Building Aid Networks Resilience in a Humanitarian Setting' (article, pages 190-203), 'Managerial Framing in Humanitarian Networks' (Q1 journal, 2026), 'Framing Mechanisms and the Emergence of Dynamic Coherence in Orchestrated Networks' (2026), 'The Orchestration Approach in Innovation: A Systematic Literature Review' (2024), 'Developing Organizational Resilience through Coopetition: In Times of Fear Turn to Your Competitor', and 'Insights into Processes Underlying Capability, Complexity, and Resilience using IMP Assumptions' (2023). These works, often co-authored with Daniel Schepis and Sharon Purchase, advance understanding in humanitarian logistics and industrial marketing. At Curtin, she coordinates and teaches units such as MGMT2015 Supply Chain Management and MGMT3017 Supply Chain Technology & Systems. She engages industry through co-facilitating executive education workshops like 'Disruption to Delivery: Supply Chain Crisis Management' (2026). Her approach bridges academia and industry to foster societal impacts.
