Dr Savita Verma

Savita Verma is a Lecturer in Logistics and supply chain management at the Hull University Business School. Currently, she also holds an honorary position of a visiting researcher at Lancaster University within the Management School. Savita got her PhD from the Leeds University Business School funded by the Commonwealth scholarship commission. Her area of research includes supply chain management, employee green behaviours, innovation diffusion, sustainability, circular economy and application of behavioural theories in supply chain.

She teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, covering Research and Consultancy Skills, Supply Chain Analytics, Operations, Supply Chain Management and Business Practices. Her teaching is research-led, drawing on her work on sustainable supply chains and the behavioural challenges organisations and people face in moving towards sustainability.

She also supervises MSc dissertations and leads modules within the School.
