My academic training is broad and encompasses various areas under management sciences/business administration. My master's work focused on financial management in the manufacturing sectors, at the same time I was teaching courses in management and finance at the undergraduate level. This combination of interests in management and finance led me to doctoral work at the Warsaw School of Economics at the Collegium of the World Economy “doctoral program in management and economics”. This program provided me an opportunity to focus on the acquisition and use of research skills both qualitative and quantitative in the field of business studies. Here I focused on the acquisition and development of higher-level research skills, reading and writing of literature, and collection and analysis of data, in the field of management sciences especially operations management (supply chain management). By using methods of analysis that created a bridge between the cognitive thinking of managers and management theories, I was able to paint a rich and detailed portrait of how managers handle uncertainty in the business environment to gain efficiency in their production operations/supply chains. Although my dissertation focused on the management of business environment uncertainty in the field of sustainable supply chain management, I am equally interested in investigating other strategic management tools.
