World Economic Forum - This Week in Supply Chain Management (4 / 2012)

With this article I’d like to wrap up the week for myself and share the most interesting articles I read in the last seven days. This week the World Economic Forum in Davos started, with more references to supply chain risk management tasks than I expected. So maybe there might be the start for a new emphasis on these risks also in the board rooms.

Articles

• I finally came around to read the report on “New Models for Addressing Supply Chain and Transport Risk” published by the World Economic Forum. If you haven’t had a look yet, you can still do so (for free). (WEForum)
• Jan Husdal summarizes another report by the WE Forum on Global Risks, which can be found here. (husdal.com)
• Supply chain risk management is also an issue on governmental levels: “Obama Orders Strategy for Protecting Nation’s Supply Chain”. (Bloomberg)
