Call for papers: Supply Chain Risk in China

Supply chain and operations management are increasingly global, and China has become the world’s manufacturing centre. Is China also becoming the world’s hotspot for supply chain risk? I doubt so., although most of my own posts related to China have a negative connotation. That said, the International Journal of Applied Management Science (IJAMS) has issued a call for papers for a special issue on Supply Chain and Operations Management in China. Although I used “Supply Chain Risk Management in China” as the attention grabber for this post, that is only one of many topics for articles that could be submitted to this special issue, which welcomes both theoretical concepts, empirical research and practical case studies.

Topics of interest

According to the call, as noted on the Inderscience News Blog, the background for the call for papers is that both business practices and theoretical research on supply chain and operations management in China have been booming in recent years, so perhaps it is time to share some of the results?

For this reason, we are organizing this special issue to explore the latest theories and applications of supply chain management and operations management in China. The purpose of the issue is twofold: on one hand, we attempt to introduce theoretical work related to supply chain and operations management in China; on the other, we aim to investigate supply chain and operations management business practices in different Chinese industries.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



  • Supply chain strategy
  • Supply chain risk management
  • Outsourcing
  • Revenue management
  • Supply chain quality management
  • Supply chain technology management
  • Supply chain sustainability
  • Applications of supply chain and operations management

Submission deadline

Don’t forget to submit your paper before 30 August 2011
