Are you looking for the latest in supply chain risk research? Usually, newsletters from the International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRiM) are the place to find it, and finally, here’s the first and hopefully not the only newsletter for 2011, like in 2010, when there was only one. The ISCRiM Newsletter is filled to the brim with exciting news about journal articles, books and book chapters published by the ISCRiM members, conference papers, conferences to be held that have supply chain risk in their program, research reports and dissertations/theses that deal with supply chain risk, Internet links and useful websites that a researcher in supply chain risk ought to be aware of. It’s a who’s who and what’s what in supply chain risk management.

ISCRiM

The ISCRiM is a network of academians 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”, and I’ve been blogging about ISCRiM and the activities (i.e. publications) of its members since 2008. Last year I was invited for their ISCRiM 2010 seminar, and then later, accepted as a member of ISCRiM.

Journal articles (not on my my radar screen?)

The newsletter features no less than 33 journal articles on issues related to supply chain risk, of which only a handful have already been discovered by me and reviewed on this blog so far, namely

Thun, J., & Hoenig, D. (2009). An empirical analysis of supply chain risk management in the German automotive industry International Journal of Production Economics 131 (1), 242-249
Zsidisin, George, & Wagner, Stephan (2010). Do Perceptions Become Reality? The Moderating Role of Supply Chain Resiliency on Disruption Occurrence Journal of Business Logistics, 31 (2), 1-20
Wagner, S., & Neshat, N. (2009). Assessing the vulnerability of supply chains using graph theory International Journal of Production Economics 121 (6), 121-129
Sanchez-Rodrigues, Vasco, Potter, Andrew, & Naim, Mohamed M. (2010). Evaluating the causes of uncertainty in logistics operations International Journal of Logistics Management, 21 (1), 45-64.

meaning that I have a lot of catching up to do :(
