Assadi A: Supply Chain Risk Management

Supply Chain Risk Management

Minimizing Procurement Risks. Strategic Approaches to Resilient Supply Chain Management

“Elana K. Arnold paints prose like a master. A fascinating journey through time, love, and forgiveness.” – A.S. King, Printz Award-winning author of Dig Award-winning author Elana K. Arnold returns with a boldly visionary, deeply felt story that crosses space and time to examine loss and love in a world on the brink.It is the late summer of 2021, and a girl named Nora is on the Paris Metro. Nora, whose mother loved her, even though Nora was broken. Nora, who couldn’t help her mother when her mother needed her most. Nora, from whom the pandemic has taken nearly everything, save the object she clings to: a cylinder containing her mother’s ashes. With no family left, no friends to speak of, and no way to turn back time, Nora has come to France to keep a promise she never got to make: to spread the ashes in a place her mother never got to see. But instead, Nora finds herself on the run through a forest in the night, taking refuge in a dark holloway. And when she wakes, and tries to make her way back to something she recognizes, she realizes that is impossible. Because it is no longer 2021. Questioning everything—including her own sanity—Nora sets out on a journey through a time and place completely foreign to her, and yet one that, much like the time and place she came from, is defined by death, loss, fear, and uncertainty. A journey in which she must find a way to honor her mother—and heal herself—in a world that feels irrevocably broken.

Platform Supply Chains in the AI Era

This open access book explores the network design and planning of platform-based supply chains in four chapters based on mathematical modeling, algorithm analysis, and numerical experiments. The main research methodologies in this book include mathematical modeling, linear programming, integer and combinatorial programming, and stochastic and robust optimization.&nbsp;What makes the book unique is the new insights into network design and planning for platform-based supply chains, which differ from those for traditional supply chains. This makes the subject in this book of significance, although there are abundant existing works on relevant topics for traditional supply chains. Another important feature of this book is the systematic perspective to unify network design in deterministic and uncertain settings for platform-based supply chains. By summarizing the new research results obtained from the implementation of a national project on platform-based supply chain, this provides a generalized scope on network design and planning for large-scale supply chains.

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

This book discusses the astonishing rise of so-called derivatives, economic instruments related to different types of risks, and the changes this has imposed to the functioning of advanced capitalist economies.The market for derivatives has grown exponentially since the 1980s, dwarfing today's traditional financial markets. The conventional view claims that derivatives perform a crucial function in corporate risk management, providing a hedge against undesirable movements in prices. Yet, most transactions considered to be part of derivatives are inherently speculative and significantly increase the levels of risks and occurrence of crises in an economy: for example, instruments known as CDS (credit default swaps) played an important role in the 2007-2008 subprime debacle. Thus, it is necessary to understand the role of these transactions in present-day advanced capitalist economies. Do they add more instability to the economy, including speculative and non-speculative activities, enhancing macroeconomic crises and contributing to destroying income, production, jobs and wealth? Do they provide effective hedging against measurable risks to the operation of capitalist firms, thus allowing corporations to engage in more transactions and expand capital accumulation domestically and internationally, in an environment characterised by increased volatility and uncertainty caused by derivatives themselves?The book addresses these questions and many others, going beyond an emphasis on operational and technical aspects of contracts, and providing a historical, analytical and critical interpretation of the qualitative and quantitative workings of so-called derivatives markets and their role in the financial dynamics of modern advanced capitalist economies.This book is vital reading for those interested in financial markets, risk management, financial history, speculation and instability, regulation and alternative economic theories.

Derivatives and the Transformation of Capitalism

By the New York Times’s Global Economics Correspondent, an extraordinary journey to understand the worldwide supply chain—exposing both the fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to your doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex and fragile network for their basic necessities."A tale that will change how you look at the world."&nbsp;—Mark LeibovichNamed a Best Book of the Year by Foreign Policy and The Aspen Institute * Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book AwardHow does the wealthiest country on earth run out of protective gear in the middle of a public health catastrophe? How do its parents find themselves unable to locate crucially needed infant formula? How do its largest companies spend billions of dollars making cars that no one can drive for a lack of chips?The last few years have radically highlighted the intricacy and fragility of the global supply chain. Enormous ships were stuck at sea, warehouses overflowed, and delivery trucks stalled. The result was a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. And while the scale of the pandemic shock was unprecedented, it underscored the troubling reality that this system built on Just in Time principles was fundamentally at risk of descending into chaos all along. And it still is. Sabotaged by financial interests, a loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions for the people tasked with keeping the gears turning, our global supply chain has become perpetually on the brink of collapse.In How the World Ran Out of Everything, award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating innerworkings of our supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant, dangerous vulnerability. His reporting takes readers deep into the elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it—from factories in Asia and an almond grower in Northern California, to a group of striking railroad workers in Texas, to a truck driver who Goodman accompanies across hundreds of miles of the Great Plains. Through their stories, Goodman weaves a powerful argument for reforming a supply chain to become truly reliable and resilient, demanding a radical redrawing of the bargain between labor and shareholder interests, and deeper attention paid to how we get the things we need.From one of the most respected voices in economic journalism working today, How the World Ran Out of Everything is a fiercely smart, deeply informative look at how our supply chain operates, and why its reform is crucial—not only to avoid dysfunction in our day to day lives, but to protect the fate of our global fortunes.&nbsp;This riveting work of economic journalism breaks down the complexities of modern globalization and reveals: <ul><li>The Just in Time Fallacy: Discover how a sensible manufacturing philosophy was twisted to prioritize shareholder interests over resilience, setting the stage for global shortages and widespread inflation.</li><li>Human Cost of Efficiency: Journey from factories in Asia to the highways of the Great Plains and meet the human players—from truck drivers to railroad workers—exploited to keep the gears of commerce turning.</li><li>Monopoly Power and Price Hikes: Investigate how decades of deregulation allowed a few monopolistic companies to dominate key industries, engineering scarcity to boost profits during a worldwide catastrophe.</li><li>The Future of the Supply Chain: Explore the urgent arguments for reforming the system through reshoring and nearshoring to build a more reliable and resilient network for the things we need.</li></ul>

Inside the Global Supply Chain

How the World Ran Out of Everything

This open access book provides a systematic and in-depth analysis of the critical risks inherent in modern platform-based supply chains. Employing rigorous analytical methods, including game theory and advanced, computationally efficient simulation techniques, it delves into three core areas: operational risks, information and data risks, and quality and compliance risks. The book moves beyond traditional supply chain paradigms to address challenges unique to the platform economy. This includes the strategic threat of platforms using seller data to launch competing products, the complex trade-offs in managing third-party product quality, the impact of reactive capacity on quality decisions, and the challenge of optimizing inventory across networks of unprecedented scale.
 
 It is an essential resource for graduate students, academic researchers, and advanced practitioners in the fields of operations management, supply chain management, and information systems. The content is suitable for readers with a graduate-level understanding of these disciplines.

Why Small Cost Decisions Make or Break the Supply Chain

The Discipline of Pennies

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

Bloomsbury Studies on Cuba

This book by Paolo Spadoni and José Luis Perelló Cabrera examines the history of tourism in Cuba and the expansion and struggles of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era. The Cuban Tourism Industry: Evolution, Challenges, and Prospects begins with a historical review of the development of tourism as an important industry in pre-1959 Cuba and the subsequent decline in the first fifteen years of the revolution before a modest recovery in the second half of the 1970s and during the 1980s. Spadoni and Cabrera continue with a thorough analysis of the remarkable expansion of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era and in the era of improved relations with the United States that officially began in 2014, along with an assessment of the sector's economic impact and its main challenges. A critical assessment of the damaging effects on the Cuban tourism sector of stiffened U.S. sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, and largely maintained by the Biden administration, is also provided. This book examines tourism trends in Cuba and the Caribbean in the post-pandemic era and sheds additional light on Cuba's recent tourism performance to underscore key flaws of the Cuban tourism industry and suggest potential adjustments.

The strategic importance of interfirm partnerships, their growing complexity, volume and frequently international nature has amplified the relevance of their study to ensure future leaders have the skills required to manage them. This book describes the strategic relevance of partnering, which frequently forms the basis for a firm's competitive advantage.The various theories and models which describe the behaviour and operational management of partnerships, from the concepts of trust and commitment, through to contract management, are explained. The different forms including strategic alliances, supply chain networks, and other newer models of collaboration such as co-innovation are described and explored. Illustrative case examples drawn from a wide range of contexts, industries and multiple geographies show students how the theory translates to practice. Chapter outcomes, summaries, assignments and in-class activities will engage and help aid understanding.Providing a comprehensive and structured approach to how interfirm collaboration can be effectively managed for strategic advantage, this text is recommended as core reading for undergraduate, postgraduate and executive students of Strategic Management, Partnerships and Alliances, Leadership, Operations and Supply Chain Management. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides.
