Usually, newsletters from the International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRiM) are the place to find it, and finally, here’s the first and hopefully not the only newsletter for 2011, like in 2010, when there was only one. The ISCRiM Newsletter is filled to the brim with exciting news about journal articles, books and book chapters published by the ISCRiM members, conference papers, conferences to be held that have supply chain risk in their program, research reports and dissertations/theses that deal with supply chain risk, Internet links and useful websites that a researcher in supply chain risk ought to be aware of. It’s a who’s who and what’s what in supply chain risk management.

ISCRiM

The ISCRiM is a network of academians interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRiM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”, and I’ve been blogging about ISCRiM and the activities (i.e. publications) of its members since 2008. Last year I was invited for their ISCRiM 2010 seminar, and then later,  accepted as a member of ISCRiM.

Journal articles (not on my my radar screen?)

The newsletter features no less than 33 journal articles on issues related to supply chain risk, of which only a handful have already been discovered by me and reviewed on this blog so far, namely

meaning that I have a lot of catching up to do :(

Special issues

Two special issues of journals I often read caught my eye:

Books

This book is not yet released,

but it is most definitely a candidate for review on husdal.com.

Here I had the chance to meet and talk to the people I so far have only blogged about, and it was a very inspiring two days in Loughborough. In order to disseminate the research that was presented at the seminar to a wider audience I have decided to publish the proceedings on my blog so that other researchers, academics and practioners can keep abreast of the latest in supply chain risk research.

ISCRiM

The ISCRiM is a network of academics and researchers interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRiM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”. Founded in 2001, it has now grown to include 36 members in more than 20 countries. ISCRiM holds annual research seminars, open to members and invited speakers only, and publishes newsletters 2-3 times per year, highlighting the latest research findings, journal articles, books, PhD theses and other tidbits of interest to the supply chain risk research community.

ISCRiM 2010 Proceedings

The ISCRiM Proceedings, available for download below, along with their presentations, contain 16 papers on a variety of subjects, divided intro three sections. Some is published, some about to be published, some are PhD theses still in progress. Not all papers were presented, though, and some of the research presented at the seminar is not in the proceedings.

Section 1: Supply Chain Risk Management theories

Supply Chain Risk Management: Where are we? by Bob Ritchie and Clare Brindley, in essence, is a review of the presentations given at the first major international seminar on SCRM, held in Barcelona in 2009…and mentioned on my blog here.

What is Supply Chain Risk Management in the perception of researchers? by Manmohan S. Sodhi, Byung-Gak Son, and Christopher S. Tang takes a closer look at three “gaps” pertinent to future research in SCRM: (1) no clear consensus on the definition of SCRM; (2) lack of commensurate research on response to supply chain risk incidents; and (3) a shortage of empirical research in the area of SCRM.

When do Supply Chain Disruptions become the norm? Insights from Normal Accident and High Reliability theories by Christoph Bode and Stephan M. Wagner is based on an empirical study using normal accident theory; it indicates that supply chain complexity, in fact, increases the frequency of supply chain disruption.

Supply Chain Risk & Returns Management (SCR2M) by Barbara Gaudenzi and Ivan Russo explores how risk management can support the effective and efficient movement of products backwards in a supply chain, due to, say, consumers’ returns, marketing returns, asset returns, product recalls and environmental returns.

The Influence of Cognitive Biases on Managerial Perceptions of Supply Chain Risk by Maja Puljić adresses the behavioural perspective of supply chain risk research, an hitherto underresearched area within SCRM.

Section 2: Supply Chain Risk Management Frameworks

Scenario Planning in Supply Chain Risk Management by Aman Deep and Samir Dani studies the risks and uncertainties surrounding global food supply chains, and discusses the feasibility of using scenario planning to address food supply chain risks.

A Methodology for Identifying, Categorising and Prioritising sources of Supply Chain Vulnerability by Yang Chu and Brian Squire introduces a comprehensive and rigorous methodology for systematically identifying, categorising and prioritising risks within supply chains, thus enabling efficient resource allocation for the mitigation and monitoring of supply chain risks.

Supply Risk Management: moving towards a Quantitative approach by Fabiana Pirola, Roberto Pinto and George Zsidisin lays the foundation for the development of an optimization model for better understanding supply risk and the how the implementation of redundancy and flexibility practices can provide firms greater resilience in their supply chains.

Assessing Supplier Default Risk on the Portfolio Level: a Method and Application by Stephan M. Wagner and Christoph Bode is based on a an empirical study that show how adding more suppliers is not necessarily adding more redundancy. A published version of this paper has been reviewed on my blog.

Supply Chains Risks: a Systems Thinking Perspective by Abhijeet Ghadge and Samir Dani takes a systems perspective towards managing supply chain risks. It presents variables that may affect next generation supply chains and applies a causal loop model towards depicting the causal linkages of these variables with future supply disruptions.

Integrating Supply Chain Risks in Product Development: a Conceptual Framework by Josef Oehmen, Mohamed Den-Daya and Omera Khan develops a conceptual framework for integrating supply chain risks in product development, in which they identify the supply chain risks that originate in the five different stages of the generic product development process.

Section 3: Supply Chain Risk Management- Sectoral View

Supply Chain Risk: Commonalities and Differences between Italy and Switzerland/Germany by Gandolf R. Finke, Roberto Pinto, Fabiana Pirola, and Bruce Arntzen presents some of the main results of a global survey about experiences and attitudes toward supply chain risks and risk management in companies based in different countries.

Supply Chain Disruptions in Sparse Transportation Networks – a Norwegian Perspective by Jan Husdal investigates how companies located in sparse road networks are affected by and relate to supply chain disruptions and how Norwegian freight carriers handle transportation disruptions. My full paper can be read here.

Drivers of Security in Distribution Networks– a Survey of Swedish Transportation Companies by Luca Urciuoli looks specifically at the factors influence the insecurity of distribution networks from a freight carrier’s point of view and establishes a comprehensive framework that identifies all contributing stakeholders, actors  and perpetrators.

The Impact of Supply Chain Risk on Regional Economies by Michael E. Smith examines the intersection of geography and economics as a way to provide a framework for understanding supply chain risk and serves to encourage broad collaboration, including public-private partnerships to mediate the sources of large-scale or regional supply chain disruption.

Exchange Rate Risk in the Fashion Accessory Sector: a Case Study by Patrick Brown, Omera Khan contains a brief literature review, synthesised with company-specific data analysis, with an aim to identify appropriate actions that can be taken to mitigate supply chain risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations.

Future reviews

While each of the papers presented in the proceedings is more than worthy of a separate review on this blog, the short summary above will have to suffice. However, as I discover or am made aware of published past or future papers relating to the above, I will of course review these on my blog.

My muse has returned

During summer, this blog saw a marked decline in blog postings, let alone quality blog postings. With my visit to ISCRiM that downturn is definitely over, as I here found renewed inspiration to keep on blogging about supply chain risk and disseminating my reviews of the latest research in this field. Meeting so many of my blogging subjects will is also likely to enhance my future reviews, as I feel a closer relationship to the articles I read, now that I now know many of the persons behind my reviews. I envision that it will probably also lead to a streamlining of my blog posts towards topics of a more academic nature, i.e. a stronger focus on literature reviews and research news.

ISCRiM is perhaps the network for the elite among supply chain risk researchers, and since the seminar is open to invited guests and members only, and since I am not a member, I feel honored to have been invited into this distinguished circle of academics and professionals.

Home turf

The event is hosted by Loghborough University, which take me back to many familiar places, as I did my MSc in GIS on Transportation GIS at the University of Leicester, just a stone’s throw away from Loughborough. In fact, it’s even in the same “shire”, namely Leicestershire.

My paper

Of course I did not travel all this way with nothing in my bag. I do have a presentation to make. For those of you who have read my paper on Bad Locations, Bad Logistics? that I presented at the WCTR conference two months ago, this will be oddly familiar, as it is basically the same paper, but in a much more condensed version. Nonetheless, since all my public appearances go on my blog, here it is again:

Published 2-3 times a year by the International Supply Chain Risk Management Network the newsletter has the latest on published articles, research reports, PhD theses, weblinks, and some buzz from the people who work with supply chain risk research for a living.

I must have been busy

The most recent issue is dated March 2010, and normally I would have posted it on my blog  months ago, but somehow I simply forgot, as it was buried more and more under layers of incoming mail. Nonetheless, as the newsletter is available by subscription only, many of my readers will not have seen or heard of it, so let me reiterate some of the highlights.

Highlights in this issue

Some of the papers have already been reviewed on this blog, just follow the links:

Papers

Interesting Internet Links

Incredibly, here I find this:

Jan Husdal, www.husdal.com.
Many interesting article and book reviews within the field of supply chain risks.

Geez…I missed this one. If ISCRiM thinks I’m good, I must be doing something right on this blog, and that should cure the writer’s block I wrote about yesterday, shouldn’t it? Besides, I was indeed invited to the 10th International Research Seminar on Supply Chain Risk Management at Loughborough University, Loughborough, England, UK. 6 – 7 September 2010. This is the annual gathering of the ISCRiM network, open only to members and invited guests, so needless to say, I do feel honored and privileged to attend. A short report from the seminar will be posted on this blog in due time.

The main purpose of the ISCRiM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”. I came across this network when I did some background research for my book review on Supply Chain Risk by Claire Brindley.

The ISCRIM Newsletter

Founded in 2001, it has now grown to include 36 members in more than 20 countries. A must-read on the ISCRiM web site  are the ISCRiM newsletters. If you want to be kept up to date on the most current research in supply chain risk you should not miss out on those newsletters. Published 3 times annually, they usually contain a list of the most recent publications (articles or books or dissertations), conferences, links and other miscellaneous bits of information.

It contains 11 chapters written by 11 different authors, each exploring 11 different supply chain contexts and thus 11 different views on supply chain risks and offering 11 different research frameworks, techniques and practices.

Supply Chain Risk fram A to Z

Difference in opinions aside, the key issue of the texts is the exposure to risk and structures and processes aimed at handling this exposure. The book fully shows that supply chain risk management is a wide field, and thus empirically challenging, with many concepts to be explored.  Nonetheless, this field also offers many research opportunities, as this books shows. I for one, despite the confusion, definitely felt inspired to continue my own research alley into this broad and multi-disciplinary field.
