 2009/11/21  BOOKS and BOOK CHAPTERS   To make up for yesterday’s perhaps overly harsh critique of just one article from this book, this is a full and proper content review. Managing Risks in Supply Chains: How to Build Reliable Collaboration in Logistics , edited by Wolfgang Kersten and Thorsten Blecker, is a collection of articles by various researchers from mostly Germany and Austria, and lo and behold, Marco Moder, whose PhD on Supply Frühwarnsysteme has been reviewed on this blog previously, is also among the contributors.

2009/10/05 BOOKS and BOOK CHAPTERS  This is an updated and extended review of the Handbook of Transportation Engineering by Myer Kutz (editor) which I have reviewed in a previous post 4 years ago: Book Review: The Handbook of Tranportation Engineering. While rummaging through references for a journal article I came across an old copy of the chapter on Transportation Engineering in the above book and to my surprise I discovered a recent acquaintance I had forgotten that I already had met 4 years ago: The risk definition by Kaplan & Garrick (1981). For supply chain risk researchers, this risk definition has it all.
