 2009/06/06  BOOKS and BOOK CHAPTERS   The Handbook of Global Supply Chain Management is an excellent book. My interest in it stems from the fact that it contains a chapter on risk management.

2009/05/25 BOOKS and BOOK CHAPTERS  This book is a gem. To me.

This book triggered my interest when I became aware of the concept of “creative destruction”, where some businesses must die for others to be (re-)born.

2009/04/15 BOOKS and BOOK CHAPTERS  Coming from a crisis management and business continuity background, I really enjoyed reading Enterprise-wide Risk Management: Strategies for linking risk and opportunity. DeLoach has a refreshing new approach to risk management that is is cross-functional, integrated and adaptable in the face of constant change, simply because traditional risk management approaches are no longer adequate in today’s rapidly changing world in where traditional risk management is too fragmented and function-driven.
