Professor and Rector

Nyomanlefthisfamilyandwenttohighschoolinthecity attheageofthirteen.Freedommadehimstronger.He relocatedtoSurabaya,theindustrialcentreofEastJava,to pursuehisstudiesofIndustrialEngineeringatInstitut TeknologiSepuluhNopember(ITS),oneofthebest universitiesinIndonesia.

BuildingaDisciplineWhereNoneExisted

WhenNyomanreturnedtoITSafterhisPhD,hewalked backintoalandscapethatbarelyunderstoodthefieldhe hadspentyearsmastering.Supplychainmanagementwas, attheturnofthemillennium,analmostinvisiblediscipline inIndonesianacademiaandindustryalike.Companies managedtheirlogisticsinstinctivelyratherthan strategically.Universitiesdidnotteachit.Thatvacuum was,toNyoman,notaproblem.Itwasanopportunity

In2001,helaunchedthefirstelectivecourseonsupply chainmanagementinIndonesiaandsimultaneously establishedadedicatedresearchlaboratoryinLogisticsand SupplyChainManagementatITS,thefirstofitskindinthe country Withinafewyears,otheruniversitiesacross

Indonesiabegantofollow,adoptingsimilarcourses.Hehad notjustenteredafield.Hehadcreatedonelocally.

Hementions,"From 2001, I was also offering training and workshops directly to industry people. Many companies invited me to train their people and strengthen their understanding of supply chain management."Thisparallel track,academicononesideandindustrypractitioneronthe other,gavehisworkadualcredibilitythatneitherapurely corporatenorapurelyscholarlycareercouldhave produced.

In2005,Nyomanauthoredalandmarktextbooksimply titledSupplyChainManagement,writteninBahasa Indonesiatomaketheknowledgeaccessibletoanational audience.Thebooksoldwidelyandhassincebeenupdated toitsfourtheditionin2023,atestamenttoitsenduring relevance.Thatsameyear,heorganizedaninternational conferenceonoperationsandsupplychainmanagementin Bali,drawingnearly180delegatesfrom25countries.The conferencegrewbeyondbordersandwaslaterhostedin differentcountrieswithinternationalinstitutionsascohosts.

In2008,hefoundedtheinternationaljournalOperations andSupplyChainManagement:AnInternationalJournal, whichtodayreceivesonetotwosubmissionseverysingle dayfromresearchersacrossmorethan80countries. Nyomandidnotjustwriteaboutsupplychains.Hebuiltthe intellectualinfrastructureforthefieldtothrive.

Heasserts,"I like to start something meaningful and let the seed grow. In most cases, I let other people manage them once things are working well."

TheYoungestFullProfessorandtheFirst

Hestates,"I got my PhD when I was thirty-one and became a full professor at thirty-eight. At that point I was the youngest in ITS and the first in this field in Indonesia." Thosenumbersarenotsimplybiographicalmilestones. Theyarethemeasureofamanwhomovedfaster,worked harder,andaimedhigherthantheinstitutionsaroundhim wereaccustomedto.

recognitionfollowedswiftly.ITShonoredhimwith theBestLecturerAward,secondpositionin2007and firstpositionin2009.Thatsameyear,heearnedthe nationalsecond-placeBestLecturerAwardatthe countrylevel.

Theaccoladesdidnotstopthere.TheIEOM SocietyrecognizedhimforOutstanding Servicein2014,followedbyan OutstandingResearcherAwardin2018. Thatyearalsobroughtthe DistinguishedAlumniAwardfrom theAsianInstituteof TechnologyAlumni Associationand theWira Adhiacarya Award,the Rectorof ITS's recognition foracademic excellence. In2019,the Presidentof King Mongkut's Universityof Technology NorthBangkok personally honoredhimwith aspecialaward.

That freedom could mean two things. Not doing much because there is no pressure or using it to opmize me and potenal. I chose the second.

Hehighlights,"During COVID, both my company and the school I managed actually grew because working professionals preferred the online mode, and we were already set up to deliver exactly that."

The Evolving Role of the Professor in a Digital-First World
