He has carried out research, consultancy, executive education and competence development activities with a wide range of public and private sector organisations.

Jens has published over 100 research contributions in leading UK and US conference proceedings, management journals and books. Individual and collaborative research activities have emphasised a research focus on long-term inter-organisational relationship management across public and private organisations. Within this agenda, significant strands of research explore: (i) the interplay of contractual and relational governance mechanisms; (ii) procuring and managing complex capital projects such as public-private partnerships; (iii) the dark side of relationships such as conflicts, trust breaches and opportunism; and (iv) sustainable supply chain management.

His research is multidisciplinary, drawing theoretical inspiration and methodological support from operations management, economics, strategy, innovation management, healthcare and policy management. The interdisciplinary nature of his research has resulted in publications in not only core operations and supply management journals, but also publications in leading general management, industrial marketing, policy and health management outlets. His research has been published in journals such as the Journal of Management Studies, British Journal of Management, Social Science & Medicine, Health Affairs, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, and Industrial Marketing Management.
