Dr. Coyle's current research focuses on the interfaces between logistics, marketing, and manufacturing with particular emphasis upon supply chain management and channels of distribution. A closely related topic that he is pursuing is reverse channels of distribution and their special logistical problems. In 1991 Dr. Coyle received the Council of Logistics Management's top honor - the Distinguished Service Award.
