Dear Arash,

Thank you for your question. I’m not sure I fully understand your question, but leasing equipment (or services) naturally contributes differently to supply chain risk compared to purchasing equipment or services. When leasing, you could say that your are transferring the risk to or at least sharing the risk with your leasing partner. However, if something goes wrong, your customer will not care whether your leasing partner is to blame or not, he will be at your throat in any case.

Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for your question. I do remember posting on the 1st Supply Chain Risk Management Seminar. To be honest,though, I haven't thought much about it, preoccupied as I am with my own research, which of course, is the pressing issue: Do bad locations mean bad logistics? Supply Chain Disruptions in sparse transportation networks. That said, I do believe that overcoming locational disadvantages (= risk) is an emerging area for research in SCRM. In addition I would say that how to actually handle a crisis situation is becoming increasingly important, as global and intertwined supply chains lead to companies having less and less control over the causes of supply chain disruptions, and leaving them only with control over the actual impact of a disruption.

Hi Jan… I hope you are well!…I don’t if your remember but we have been in contact on the beggining of this year in relation with our “Supply Chain Risk Management Seminar” that we’ve organized here in Barcelona on last March. Actually we are now starting the production for the 2nd edition, considering that we’ve got very satisfied with the results of the first edition. We are trying to define what are the priority topics to be discussed on the event on March 2010. What are in your opinion the most pressing issues nowadays within the SCRM?.. many thanks for your help and best regards from Barcelona…

There is no link, because JBL does not publish online, but I have added a link to a stripped down version without graphics at bnet.com: Global Supply Chain Risk Management.

Trying to get the second Manuj & Mentzer article. I bought the article, Global supply chain risk management strategies, published in the International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management in October 2008.

When I click the link for “Reference” for your post that begins “A case of mistaken identity”, that link takes me to the same article. I can’t find how to get to the second one, which appears to have been published in the Journal of Business Logistics.

Thanks.
