Samuel Roscoe

Prof. Roscoe is fellow of the UK Trade Policy Observatory and co-Investigator for the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy at the University of Sussex Business School. Sam's research interests are in how geopolitical disruptions (US-China TradeWar, Brexit, Covid 19) and innovative technologies (Additive Manufacturing, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence) are transforming global supply chains. Sam has published 18 articles in leading journals including the Journal of Operations Management (JOM), Production and Operations Management (POM) and Business Strategy and the Environment. Sam was invited to give evidence to the UK government’s International Trade Select Committee on Pharmaceutical Supply Chains and Covid 19 in April 2020. His recommendation for establishing “parallel supply chains” for the manufacture of critical goods in the UK, as well as non-critical commodity items in Asia, was put forward by the Select Committee to UK government policy makers. Samuel has been the Principal Investigate on EPSRC grants and co-investigator on ESRC grants totaling £20million. His research on Covid 19 and the disruption caused to global supply chains has been featured in the Financial Times, the Guardian, Raconteur Magazine and the BBC evening news.
