Recent news events related to quality in global supply chains have called attention to the need for more research on supply chains that operate in a global context.

Managing Global Supply Chain Relationships: Operations, Strategies and Practices focuses on issues related to relationships among members of global supply chains. This comprehensive work addresses three important aspects of global supply chain relationships: supply chain integration and collaboration; outsourcing and offshoring of production; and recent growth in supplier networks.

The Natural Organization of Outsourcing and Insourcing by Peter Belohlavek Pdf

This book provides executives with the necessary questions to approach outsourcing and insourcing decisions. Technological evolution brought about new ways to approach productive processes. Outsourcing or Insourcing is a question of convenience in the short and long-term. By understanding the nature of outsourcing and by having the necessary questions you will be able to build the natural complementation with third parties to increase productivity and quality. But insourcing is a natural alternative for certain business problems. The adequate mix of both outsourcing and insourcing alternatives will provide the adequate answer to your business problems. This book provides the description of the nature of the outsourcing and insourcing processes. This book is a support for executives that are familiar with the unicist approach to business strategy, and delivers the necessary questions and conceptual information to define the "blending" of outsourcing / insourcing decisions. It includes the unicist ontology of Outsourcing and Insourcing Processes and the questions needed to manage such processes. The implicit recommendation is to define to "outsource" when it is convenient and to "insource" when it is necessary. But when outsourcing has been decided it is necessary to make a deep reflection to define which type of outsourcing should be done. This book will help you consider the benefits, the risks and the costs implicit in each type of outsourcing.

Risk Management in Crisis by Piotr Jedynak,Sylwia Bąk Pdf

Risk management is a domain of management which comes to the fore in crisis. This book looks at risk management under crisis conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The book synthesizes existing concepts, strategies, approaches and methods of risk management and provides the results of empirical research on risk and risk management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research outcome was based on the authors’ study on 42 enterprises of different sizes in various sectors, and these firms have either been negatively affected by COVID-19 or have thrived successfully under the new conditions of conducting business activities. The analysis looks at both the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the selected enterprises and the risk management measures these enterprises had taken in response to the emerging global trends. The book puts together key factors which could have determined the enterprises’ failures and successes. The final part of the book reflects on how firms can build resilience in challenging times and suggests a model for business resilience. The comparative analysis will provide useful insights into key strategic approaches of risk management.
