Mohamed Naim is the Deputy Dean at Cardiff Business School.

He is also a co-director of the Logistics Systems Dynamics Group and the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Systems at Cardiff (CAMSAC) formerly the EPSRC funded Cardiff University Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC). He was the Cardiff lead on the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) sponsored project Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies (ASTUTE), and a co-director on the new ASTUTE2020.

Mohamed's current research interests may be summarised as the development of novel business systems engineering approaches to the establishment of resilient supply chains. This encompasses sustainable supply chains and the role of flexibility in lean, agile and leagile systems. Recent supply chain research in the construction sector has led to three best prizes at the Association of Researchers in Construction Management Conference and his membership of the Blue Innovation Trust, Costain's supply chain think tank.

In 1997 he was awarded the Institution of Electrical Engineers' Manufacturing Division Premium for a paper on supply chain modelling and simulation. In 2003 he was granted a Royal Academy of Engineering Global Research Award at the Linköping Institute of Technology, Sweden.
