Another week has gone by and I am looking forward to my next vacation. This time will be only a prolonged weekend, which I will spend at the Mecklenburg Lake District. Germany’s largest coherent lake and canal region.
We are going to explore a small section of it on our four day kayak tour.
All of the articles I recommend reading this week are already on my tweet list:
The article on review today serves two distinct needs, by summarizing the current (2012) state of supply chain risk management.
The title of the article implies, that this is only a summary relevant for researchers. But this is not the case: of course there is also a short summary of current research and supply chain risk management, but a major part consists of two focus groups with practitioners and researchers, to define the current gaps in supply chain risk management.
One of the fundamental problems in supply chain management in general is that of finding the right trade-offs between information sharing and keeping one’s distance towards potential competitors.
Zeng et al. did a literature review to collect some of the current insights on how to solve this problem.

I used the last two weeks to do a short bike trip, visiting my in-laws. From northern Germany (Bremen) to the middle (Fulda): 455km in three and a half days. My route contained virtually no ascents (beside the last 10km), but the distance was still quite demanding.
So last weekend was mostly about recovery and I have the pleasure to read through all the articles from the last two weeks. The best of which are listed below.
