معرفی
Feng Fang is an Assistant Professor at the Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM), Department of Information Systems and Operations Management, Tilburg University, Netherlands. She is actively engaged in research and teaching in the domains of operations management, supply chain management, and inter-organizational governance. Her academic profile is closely tied to public-private partnerships and governance dynamics in complex projects.
Her research interests center on inter-organizational governance, particularly the interplay between contractual and relational governance mechanisms in large-scale projects. She investigates how performance shortfalls trigger governance adjustments and how these adjustments, in turn, influence project outcomes. Her work employs advanced methodologies including longitudinal case studies and system dynamics simulations, contributing to a dynamic theory of governance in public-private collaborations.
The trend in her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on governance feedback loops, project setbacks, and performance recovery in inter-organizational settings. Her articles, published in high-impact journals like Journal of Operations Management and Production Planning & Control, emphasize empirical depth and theoretical innovation in understanding governance complexity.
- Fellow of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly contributing to sustainable infrastructure and responsible consumption and production through governance research.
Feng Fang supervises research in governance and operations management and has contributed to curriculum development in data-driven design and operations. She collaborates with leading scholars such as Wendy van der Valk, Bart Vos, and Henk Akkermans. Her external roles include Senior Lecturer at Hogeschool Rotterdam and Corporate Secretary at SD&Co, reflecting her engagement beyond academia. She is affiliated with the Center for Economic Research (CentER) at Tilburg University and contributes to professional discourse through both academic and practice-oriented publications.
Her research is supported by extensive fieldwork in Dutch public-private projects, particularly involving water authorities and contractors, and she utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods to build robust theoretical models. She is a key contributor to the development of a dynamic theory of governance adjustment interplay in large projects.
