Book excerpt: Supply Chain Management and Corporate Governance: Artificial Intelligence, Game Theory and Robust Optimisation is the first innovative, comprehensive analysis and analytical robust optimisation modelling of the relationships between corporate governance principles and supply chain management for risk management and decision-making under uncertainty in supply chain operations. To avoid corporate failures and crises caused by agency problems and other external factors, effective corporate governance mechanisms are essential for efficient supply chain management. This book develops a new collaborative robust supply chain management and corporate governance (RSCMCG) model and framework that combines good corporate governance practices for risk management strategies and decision-making under uncertainty. This model is developed as a principal–agent game theory model, and it is digitalised and computed by Excel algorithms and spreadsheets as an artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithm. The implementation of the RSCMCG model provides optimal supply chain solutions, corporate governance principles and risk management strategies for supporting the company to achieve long-term benefits in firm value and maximising shareholders’ interests and corporate performance while maintaining robustness in an uncertain environment. This book shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers and advanced students in the areas of corporate governance, supply chain management, finance, strategy and risk management.

Book excerpt: In the global knowledge economy, corporate governance, organisational behaviour and performance of the supply chain are becoming increasingly important aspects of the evaluation of an enterprise. The subject of this book is the development of a contemporary organisation behaviour performance measurement (OBPM) model for enterprises in the modern economy. The fields of organisation behaviour and supply chain management are integrated with an Open Socio-Technical Systems theory of management and the application of Operations Research to corporate governance for the measurement of organisation performance. This book thereby offers a new and innovative quantitative approach to qualitative concepts of corporate performance measurement and makes a significant contribution to the fields of management theory, supply chain management as well as operations research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USE KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION TO MAXIMIZE VALUE FROM TODAY’S SOPHISTICATED, FAST-CHANGING SUPPLY NETWORKS Build integrated, complementary supply networks that work together to win Accelerate the cycle from needs identification to product/service launch to customer experience Create long-term strategy adherence to the business that competes in fluid environments Leading companies are developing powerful new techniques for managing today’s complex, fluid supply networks. Now, Alexandre Oliveira and Anne Gimeno help you apply these techniques to embed greater agility, resilience, speed, and intelligence throughout your own supply chain network. Oliveira and Gimeno review how supply chains have changed, how they will change, and the radically new challenges and opportunities arising from these changes. Next, they show how to drive value by capturing and sharing your network’s knowledge far more effectively, and using it to drive innovations that strengthen the entire network. Going far beyond previous models, they guide you in improving interactions across all knowledge areas, functional supply chain building blocks, business structures, tactics, and external elements–including suppliers, customers, service providers, competitors, and non-competitors. Today, individual companies don’t compete: their supply chain networks do. Winning businesses must be capable of sensing and anticipating market shifts, and rapidly aligning their networks in response. In a word, their networks must be wiser. In this guide, leading practitioners Alexandre Oliveira and Anne Gimeno show how to embed actionable wisdom throughout your own complex supply network. You’ll learn how to create multi-company structures that promote the long-term success of your entire network, and how to accelerate innovation by leveraging knowledge and ideas from all network sources. Using practical examples, Oliveira and Gimeno demonstrate how to evolve more resilience and elasticity, building a network that can respond more quickly and coherently to any new risk, opportunity, problem, or trend. Managing Supply Chain Networks is invaluable to any strategist, executive, manager, or advanced student who wants to drive greater value and competitiveness from a complex supply chain network.

Book excerpt: Within companies, supply chain management (SCM) focuses on aligning the activities of business functions involved in material, information and financial flows from material sourcing to product distribution along SCM processes. Generally, firms have implemented SCM processes on local levels. Corporate SCM aims at aligning all similar SCM processes on a corporate level that were previously run independently on a smaller scale on diverse local levels individually. Benefits are a fast implementation of global best practices and economies of scale through the streamlining of tasks. At the same time, external relationships with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders require local adaptation of SCM processes, which limits the scope of global alignment. Balancing between global alignment and local responsiveness is a key strategic question to corporate SCM. This guidebook proposes a new governance approach to identify and implement the appropriate degree of alignment of local, regional or national SCM processes across the company for an appropriate corporate SCM organization. Based on our accompanied scientific survey, we also show benchmarks and best practices on how companies organize their corporate SCM to date.

Book excerpt: Boards are Remarkably Good At Corporate Governance, and Yet Face the Flak For It Everybody who has spent any time with boards of directors lives and breathes corporate governance. The corporate governance process is designed and run with almost military precision to give effect to the legislative requirements and commercial exigencies with only a few board meetings a year. Due to the focused attention of some of the best people in the corporate world and significant budgetary allocation, the governance of what falls within the four walls of the company itself is done with a remarkable efficiency almost all the time. So, the natural question is why then such a lot of hoopla in the press about corporate governance. Where does it fail for the 3Ps (the press, the politicians, and the preachers from the NGOs) to make such a lot of noise about it? This question merits a little deeper exploration because almost all failures of corporate governance lie elsewhere. After visiting with numerous boards and having spent countless hours past midnight preparing board presentations, papers and submissions, we have become convinced that lack of corporate governance is not the real culprit in most cases. That infamy lies at the behest of supply chain governance.

Book excerpt: Managing supply networks for innovation and competitive advantage: Concepts, models, roadmaps, and more Capture, organize, and fully utilize your #1 supply chain resource: knowledge Systematically improve strategic, tactical, and operational decision-making Improve your capabilities for managing and competing on supply networks Best-practice supply chain management transcends yesterday's functional silos. Today, it requires a comprehensive approach that recognizes supply networksas the core driver of business value. To maximize and sustain value creation in fast-changing supply networks, practitioners must properly address an even deeper issue: knowledge.

This comprehensive introductory guide offers powerful blueprints and models for managing both knowledge and risk in your own rapidly evolving environment. Using the new approaches described here, supply chain decision-makers can systematically achieve far higher levels of effective innovation. This innovation will help you create a ground-breaking cost-benefit environment: one that encompasses partners and alliances to establish sustainable competitive leadership.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to answer this question: How great is the potential of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) to impact a firm‘s competitiveness? In other words, can it be considered as something a firm can implement to influence their competitiveness and if so in which way and strength? To assess this, first a theoretical background will be given on SSCM as well as a definition for the underlying concept of competitiveness for this thesis in chapter 2. In chapter 3 an overview of practices that can be accounted to SSCM will be outlined and complemented by research findings that cover the influence of SSCM practices on corporate competitiveness. Factors that are also of relevance to ultimately determine the potential of SSCM shall be included as well. To this theoretical perspective the examination of two practical examples shall be added in chapter 4 in order to be able to discuss the magnitude of SSCM’s potential to impact corporate competitiveness in chapter 5. Finally, concluding remarks, the final answer to the initial question as well as an outlook for the future development will be given in chapter 6. Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is a growing field of research as well as already implemented by several firms. In order to help a firm determine if SSCM should be considered as something to implement the question shall be answered if and in which magnitude SSCM holds potential for a firm’s competitiveness. Competitiveness is deter-mined by the chosen sources of cost savings, image and customer loyalty as well as human resources and innovation. Through a review of literature existing influences of SSCM practices on competitiveness have been collected and other factors to consider determined. Two practical examples are also given. Two main findings have been made: Mainly positive influences of SSCM practices on defined sources of competitiveness could be found; hence potential of SSCM for corporate competitiveness exists. Taken into consideration the aforementioned factors SSCM’s potential for corporate competitiveness is high, if SSCM itself is successfully implemented, if the firm acts as first mover and if it acts now.

Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A-, Kenyatta University, course: Business Management, language: English, abstract: Over the past years, Supply Chains (SC) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) have been noted to play a crucial role in corporate efficiency, not to mention that they have immensely attracted the attention of several scholars. Due to the cropping up of liberalization as well as the globalization of the international trade, the production factors involved in sourcing and consumer products from destinations across the globe have enhanced the interdependence between the producers and wholesalers on the global supply chains. Accordingly, the literature behind supply chain management has offered a number of variations on the same theme in supply chain definition. In simple terms, supply chain management can be defined as a system of suppliers, retailers, customers, distributors and even manufacturers, whereby the products flow downstream from the suppliers to the consumers while information flows in both directions. On the other hand, a supply chain can be defined as a network of facilities as well as distribution options that operate to procure materials and transform these materials into intermediate and finished products, alongside distributing these finished products to consumers. Evidently, supply chains exist in the service and even manufacturing enterprises, even though the chain’s complexity may greatly vary from firm to firm and industry to industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Global Supply Chains analyses the changing politics of power and distribution within contemporary global supply chains. Drawing on over 300 interviews with farmers, workers, activists, businesses and government officials in garment and coffee sector supply chains, the book shows how the increased involvement of non-state actors in supply chain governance is re-shaping established patterns of global political power, responsibility and accountability. These emerging supply chain governance systems are shown to be multi-layered and politically contested, as transnational governance schemes interact with traditional state governance arrangements in both complementary and conflicting ways. The book’s analysis of changes to the relationship between state and non-state actors within transnational governance processes will be of particular interest to scholars and students of globalisation, global governance and regulation. The Politics of Global Supply Chains also suggests some practical ways by which the effectiveness and accountability of supply chain governance could be strengthened, which will interest both scholars and practitioners in fields of global business regulation and corporate social responsibility. Conclusions are relevant to the business and civil society actors who participate directly in non-state governance schemes, and to state regulators whose distinctive governance capacities could play a much greater role than at present in supporting transnational, non-state governance processes.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Munich University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: The increased trend of globalization and offshore outsourcing in business environments has made global supply chain management an important issue to a good number of businesses today. Global supply chain management distinguishes itself from the traditional supply management given the fact that it involves an organization’s worldwide interests rather than a national or local perspective (Peng 2011, p. 465). The fact that this approach to supply chain management involves a large number of countries, presents new difficulties that need to be dealt with in a totally different manner than the latter. These new difficulties require a strategic approach to global supply management, which is unique from the traditional methods used to combat such challenges. The strategic approach will put in mind certain issues affecting businesses today like; globalization, strategic choices, opportunities and risks, and natural occurrences like earthquakes and its aftermath and consequences to supply like in the case of Japan. This paper provides a discussion of strategic approaches to global supply chain management and makes a mention of issues like globalization, strategic choices and opportunities and risks.

Book excerpt: Corporate Social Responsibility has for long been on the agenda in the business world and recently, it has also become a political agenda in the European Union. Focusing on international supply chains and their control based on studies of law in several European jurisdictions, this book aims to advance the discussion on the application and enforcement of CSR. Drawing parallels to US and Canadian law, the book explores to what extent private law tools can be used as an enforcement device and it ultimately asks if what we are witnessing is the formation of a new area of law, employing the interplay of contract and tort – a law of "production liability", as a corollary of the concept of "product liability".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 83 %, University of Western Sydney (Sydney Graduate School of Management), language: English, abstract: This assignment will explore various aspects of an efficient Supply Chain and Distribution Management System. The authors believe that after reading this work, a company knows exactly what needs to be considered when creating a successful Supply Chain and Distribution Management System. The examples, chosen in the text, of companies such as Dell, DHL, Wal-Mart, as well as Toyota illustrate how companies achieved improvements in their Supply Chain or Distribution Management System. Additionally, the authors explain various manufacturing processes used by different companies. What needs to be understood is that the costs, time and risks involved have to be carefully planned, evaluated and continuously observed as the environment can change very quickly. In today’s environment it is supply chains competing against each other rather than companies competing against each other (Fynes, De Burca and Voss, 2005). “If you are not able to meet your customers increasing specific demands, you will not be able to compete with those who can - and will” (i2, 2008).
