It’s always interesting to look at the submission in question and ask myself why was I picked as a referee. Sometimes it is because the article topic is linked to my own research, or maybe because some of my work is listed in the bibliography or references
From a quick browse before making this post I realized there are quite a number of highly qualified and merited members, which most certainly will help me keep up to date the latest in Supply Chain Management.
In a previous post I discussed the issue of Flexibility and robustness to reduce risk and uncertainty. Since then a new term has emerged: resilience, and today I will take a look at that.

The International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRIM) is a network of academics interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRIM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”.
