Mikaella Polyviou researches supply chain disruptions, which are interruptions in the flow of goods, services, or information within a supply chain. These interruptions can occur due to various triggering events, such as natural disasters, pandemics, factory fires, or transportation accidents.
Dr. Polyviou studies the role of individuals and the firm in improving a firm's resilience to supply chain disruptions. At the individual level, she examines how managers react to supply chain disruptions and make sourcing decisions afterward. At the firm level, she examines a firm's capabilities and supply chain strategies that reduce the probability and impact of supply chain disruptions. Her research on supply chain disruptions has earned funding from various associations, including the Arizona Coalition for Healthcare Emergency Response (AzCHER), the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), and the National Center for the Middle Market. She serves on the Editorial Review Board of Decision Sciences, the Journal of Business Logistics, and the Journal of Supply Chain Management.
At ASU, Dr. Polyviou teaches Strategic Procurement and Supply Management/ Negotiations. She received the Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award at the W. P. Carey School of Business in 2021.
She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Cyprus and a Master's and Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. She has also been a Fulbrighter twice, attending Boston University and The Ohio State University.
