Murtaza Faruquee: Resilience Lessons from Humanitarian Supply Chains, Gebunden

Klappentext

Due to the increasing frequency and severity of disruptions and disasters around the world, current supply chains of almost every type are experiencing uncertainties, and supply chain resilience capabilities are one of the major concerns for every manager. Humanitarian supply chains are often at the forefront of this. However, the extant literature often keeps them separate from commercial supply chains and focuses more on their differences than similarities. This short-format research work analyses four case studies of recent humanitarian supply chains formed in response to natural and man-made disasters and how these supply chains endure proactive and reactive resilience capabilities. The lessons learned from these disaster responses in resilience will be of great value to supply chain scholars, students, and practitioners.
