Jimmy's current research focuses on the effects of supply chains on the employment relationship with a particular focus on the response to the Rana Plaza.  This research, with Juliane Reinecke of King's College London, uses perspectives from both employment relations and corporare social responsibility to inform its research.  To date, this research has seen publications in journals including Human Resource Management, Organization, the British Journal of Industrial Relations and the Journal of Management Studies. In addition, the book "Stitching Governance for Labour Rights: Towards Transnational Industrial Democracy?" (Cambridge University Press) bringing together the core theme of the 8 year longitudinal study came out in 2023.

In addition to this topic, Jimmy also continues his work on worker voice and social pacts.
