Keep showing up: Nada Sanders on curiosity, resilience, and the future of supply chains
For Nada Sanders, the most important breakthroughs have rarely come from perfect data or elegant models. They have come from friction — from the moment when theory fails, when numbers resist, and when human behavior refuses to fit neatly into equations. It is in that tension that she has built her career, not by forcing the world to match the model, but by reshaping the model to reflect the world as it is.

Finally, they found that while major subsidiary misbehavior led to higher internal CSR performance, major supplier misbehavior resulted in higher external CSR performance.
