Prof. Saberi's main research focus is on applying game theory models in different aspects of supply chain management. Especially, in theoretically and empirically exploring and expanding the research on modeling service-oriented networks where multiple decision-makers face conflicting objectives in a competitive economic environment (e.g. supply chains) and define the best strategy for optimum price, quality level and quantity of services in these networks. Saberi has provided analysis for news outlets on the effects of labor strikes on supply chains, businesses, consumers, and the economy. She has also provided insight regarding the applications of blockchain in supply chain management.
