A Study on Punjab's Automobile Supply Chain

Ereignisse wie die Corona-Pandemie, die Blockade des Suezkanals und der Krieg in der Ukraine haben in den letzten Jahren wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass die Themen Resilienz und Risikomanagement weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen. Die Resilienz von Supply Chains beschreibt die Fähigkeit, schnell und flexibel auf Störungen zu reagieren, um so schnell wie möglich wieder den Ausgangszustand einer funktionierenden Lieferkette zu erreichen.


Dieses Buch stellt praxiserprobte Methoden und Instrumente vor, mit denen Risiken identifiziert und bewertet werden können. Es beschreibt effektive Strategien und Maßnahmen, um die Resilienz in Supply Chains nachhaltig zu erhöhen. Zahlreiche Beispiele schaffen zudem ein Bewusstsein für die Bandbreite der Supply-Chain-Risiken, gegen die Resilienz aufgebaut werden sollte.

The Fundamentals of Fashion Management

'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Painand Say Nothing'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

Arbeit, Digitalisierung und Organisation

Der Autor untersucht in diesem Werk Zusammenhänge aus Sicht des fokalen Lebensmitteleinzelhandelsunternehmens in "seinem" Netzwerk im Kontext des komplexen Phänomens der Umsetzung von Corporate Social Responsibility. 
Anhand einer Einzelfallstudie wird - unter Zugrundelegung der Strukturationstheorie als Fundament - deutlich, dass die Umsetzung der originären CSR-Philosophie in einem Einzelhandelsnetzwerk und die multiplen und multiplexen Beziehungen zwischen den Netzwerkpartnern, vor allem zwischen dem Einzelhandelsunternehmen und seinen Lieferanten, in einem sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden, rekursiven Verhältnis zueinander stehen.
Die verfasste wissenschaftliche Arbeit ist in den Bereich der interorganisationalen Netzwerkforschung einzuordnen.

A Practical Guide to Corporate Social Responsibility in the Supply Chain

Sustainable Procurement

From the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Material World, a story that will take you from ancient civilizations, empire and globalisation through to the most influential geopolitical issue of our times.The story of trade is the story of humanity. From the copper in Mesopotamian ploughs to the silicon atoms within the chip inside your smartphone, intricate global trading networks have evolved over millennia to fulfil the distinctly human desire to buy and sell. Today, the volume of trade bestriding the planet is unprecedented. Yet, as fractures in the global order emerge - from an era of globalisation and untrammelled flows of goods and money to a new world of restrictions, intervention and, possibly, war - understanding this fundamental shift to the dominant economic consensus is more important than ever. Ed Conway tells this extraordinary story through these three commonplace products - bread, cloth and cars. With a compelling blend of economic history and first-hand access to key figures and institutions, he takes us from policy treaties to ground level to show us the people who make, ship and sometimes smuggle the products we buy on a daily basis. Discover the hidden, shifting trade world behind everything you see around you.
