About
Arne Nygaard is a leading scholar in the fields of supply chain management, sustainability, and inter-organizational governance. His research critically examines the tensions between economic efficiency and environmental responsibility, particularly within global metals markets. Nygaard’s most cited work, “Managing sustainability tensions in global supply chains: specific investments in closed-loop technology vs ‘blood metals’” (2019, 32 citations), explores how market failures and resource scarcity drive eco-opportunism, where firms may prioritize recycled materials to avoid complicity in conflict mineral sourcing. He demonstrates that strategic investments in closed-loop technologies are essential for mitigating these ethical and operational risks. By framing sustainability as a governance challenge rather than a mere compliance issue, Nygaard provides a vital framework for understanding how supply chains can balance profit with principle. His contributions are particularly influential for researchers and practitioners grappling with the complexities of circular economies and responsible sourcing, offering actionable insights into managing the inherent conflicts of modern global trade.
