The digital transformation of businesses is creating new products, processes, and services. But to provide these new offerings, companies must share information and assets with each other in ways that were previously off-limits. For example, digitized services may require competitors to share physical assets such as warehouse space.
This, in turn, means that companies will need to change the way they forge and manage relationships with other entities in the supply chain to facilitate new types of alliances and agreements. It will require managers responsible for developing supply chain relationships, such as account managers or supply managers, to adopt a boundary-spanning mindset in order to facilitate collaboration, experimentation, and trust across organizational boundaries.

He will begin his academic career at Lawrence Technological University in 2021. He has worked in various software companies in software engineering and architecture.He authored numerous journal and conference papers that were peer-reviewed. His current research and development interests and activities in Project DIAMOnD for Automation Alley in blockchain for building a 3D printer marketplace for the supply chain to support all kinds of business, including 4.0 Industry. This work on blockchain for autonomous systems design, sensor fusion, intelligent agents, automation, human/machine interaction, robotic programming, and interfacing/coding. His research dissertation, entitled "Advance and specialize our application of blockchain for webcam/microphone access control" and "Add Blockchain in A.I. for communication," has worked within research on the Blockchain and Decoy deception research project. He worked on blockchain and decoy deception using smart contracts. This project utilized a Blockchain application that enforces limited access to webcam and microphone devices. We utilize Blockchain's Smart Contract to form a contract between the user's computer and another party connected via a network.
