Supply Chain Frontiers issue #35. Read all articles in this issue.
The MIT Global SCALE Network has launched a major supply chain risk management research project across six world regions. The first phase of the project, a multi-country survey, started in November 2009.
The main goal of the 12-minute survey is to understand if regional and cultural differences affect how people think about and manage supply chain risks. Supply chain, finance, and business professionals from many different cultures and industries are participating in the exercise. In particular, the MIT Global SCALE Network researchers are seeking responses from manufacturing, retailing, and distribution companies. Three sample questions include:
- What supply chain disruptions have you experienced?
- Which risks do you consider most important and least important?
- Is your company headquarters the best place to coordinate recovery efforts?
After completing the brief survey, participants may request that a summary of the study findings be e-mailed to them.
