A month ago I posted on my first publication, a book chapter on A Conceptual Framework for Risk and Vulnerability in Virtual Enterprise Networks in Managing Risk in Virtual Enterprise Networks: Implementing Supply Chain Principles, edited by Stavros Ponis from NTUA in Athens, Greece, and published by IGI Global. A month ago, the book was merely announced on the publisher’s website, now it is fully present. Not only do I have the honor of opening the book by being the first chapter, but – as I just found out – I also have the honor of having the free sample chapter for download…making my thoughts available for criticism for the whole Internet world, not just the inquisitive reader who stumbles upon this book in the university library and decides to read it.
Already outdated?
It is more than a year since I submitted my chapter for review, and had I written it today, it probably would have been a different chapter. Well, perhaps not “different”, but more “mature”, as I have gained additional insights and done more research on risk and vulnerability in supply chains and networks. Many of the thoughts presented in the chapter, in particular the framework for distinguishing different compositions of virtual enterprise networks (see page 5 below) has been refined and used in other settings. Many ideas are still valid and I hope this book chapter will stand the test of time and be referenced by others than me in my own future writings.
