Marcus Bellamy
Associate Professor, Operations and Technology Management
Marcus A. Bellamy is an Associate Professor of Operations and Technology Management at the Questrom School of Business, Boston University. He is a business scholar focused on innovation and sustainability in supply networks as well as AI usage in product development and people-centric operations. On the supply network side, Marcus builds and tests empirical models to examine the relationship between spatial proximity to resources, interdependence, and performance in supply chain networks. Regarding AI usage, his research leverages embedding-based topic modeling, LLM-assisted sentiment analysis, and API-enabled data extraction to study how organizations disclose, deploy, and respond to AI tools across domains such as workforce design and new product development. Performance manifests itself in several forms throughout his work, including innovation output, environmental practices and disclosure, economic welfare, and resilience.
During his formative years at Boston University, he was the recipient of the Isabel Anderson Career Development Professorship. His research has been awarded the 2019 Academy of Management (AOM) Best Paper in Supply Chains and the 2013 AOM Operations Management Division Best Student Paper. From early collaborations with Lockheed Martin and General Motors to advising for operational resilience and sustainability, he has been conducting SCM research for over 10 years.
Marcus received his Ph.D. in Operations Management at the Scheller College of Business and his M.S. in Industrial Engineering, both at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was a Graduate Fellow in the Tennenbaum Institute at Georgia Tech as well as a Fulbright Scholar in Madrid, Spain. During his graduate studies, he was also selected as a National Science Foundation (NSF) STEP Fellow. In terms of external service as faculty, Marcus is a founding member of the PhD Project Committee commissioned by the White House Initiative on Hispanic Excellence in Education.
