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)

Already tweeted

There are also some article I already tweeted during the week. You can follow me on twitter.
