About
François Carrier joined the Weber State University faculty in 2018 and is an associate professor of supply chain management and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program director at the Goddard School of Business & Economics. François holds a doctorate degree in operations management from the University of Utah and a master’s degree in industrial engineering from the Paris Institute of Technology. François' research focuses on environmental sustainability.
In one stream of research, he studies the impact of pollution regulations (such as emission taxes and cap-and-trade) on supply chains, and how managers should operate in a carbon-constrained economy. One of his papers shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, companies may actually benefit from well-chosen and easy-to-implement pollution regulation. In another stream of research, François studies the adoption of green supply chain management practices by Midwest manufacturers. His research and teaching are influenced by several years of managerial experience, during which he directed the development of web-based software solutions for concurrent engineering and project management for large building projects.
