firms can adopt for managing risk and ensuring supply chain resilience. Supply chain risk affects firms in a multitude of ways. The detrimental results of failing to manage supply chain risk includes, but is not limited to, disruptions that lead to the inability of firms to meet customer requirements, increased costs due to holding excessive inventory, paying employee overtime and expediting orders, financial losses due to increases in commodity prices and unfavorable exchange rates, and tarnishing firm reputation due to poor performance. Although supply chain risk can detrimentally affect firms in many ways, there are approaches organizations can implement for identifying, assessing, and managing risk in order to foster resiliency. This work focuses on strategic sourcing approaches for identifying, assessing and managing supply chain risk. It provides readers with insight into strategic sourcing and risk management approaches for managing supply chain risk and attaining resilience and will appeal to researchers in supply chain management, sourcing, and procurement.Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Construction, Architecture and Technosphere Safety: ICCATS 2023 (Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering #400)

Par Nik Kinley, Shlomo Ben-Hur. 2024
Where do your instincts come from and how can you improve them? Stretched by heavy workloads and facing ever more…
complex environments, leaders increasingly find themselves running on automatic and relying on their instincts. But depending on instincts is a bit like gambling, and as a result, stress levels, mistakes and failure rates are all on the up. In this ground-breaking book, leadership experts Nik Kinley and Shlomo Ben-Hur reveal how our instincts are the products of childhood experience - lessons learnt that have become written into the structure of our brains. Like the source code at the centre of a computer, they underpin almost every aspect of our functioning as leaders. They affect how we interpret and experience things, how we react to events, the environments we choose, the impact we have on people, and even the responses we trigger in others. Often these instincts and tendencies are hidden beneath professional poise. But under pressure, when we are deprived of time, they come to the fore. This is why leading under pressure can bring out the best and the worst in us. And it is why – ultimately – leadership is a test of the character of our instinctual code. Based on decades of research, this book shows how we get to be the leaders we are today. It explains the tendencies and inclinations that past experiences can leave us with and the hidden ways in which they can affect who we are as leaders and how we behave. And crucially, it shows how we can make better use of our instincts and even improve them to become better leaders.Cotton Sector Development in Ethiopia: Challenges and Opportunities (Textile Science and Clothing Technology)

alles zusammenkommt, wie beispielsweise im Kreis Ahrweiler, wo zwischen zwei globalen Krisen, wie der Covid19-Pandemie und den Auswirkungen des Ukraine-Krieges, vom 14. auf den 15. Juli 2021 eine Flutwelle teilweise Firmengebäude zerstörte oder die Infrastruktur für lange Zeit lahmlegte? Was können andere etablierte oder auch potenzielle UnternehmerInnen von diesen besonders krisengeschüttelten KMUs lernen? Welche internen und externen Rahmenbedingungen sind wichtig, um Unternehmen in Krisenzeiten in einer Region zu unterstützen?Um auf diese Fragen erste Antworten zu finden, porträtiert dieses Buch 15 namhafte Unternehmen des Kreises Ahrweiler. Gerade in Krisenzeiten packen vor allem auch UnternehmerInnen an, was uns motiviert hat, ihnen ein Buch zu widmen. Hierzu haben wir die GeschäftsführerInnenund EigentümerInnen von aufstrebenden KMUs im Kreis Ahrweiler in mehrstündigen Interviews befragt – darunter auch Marktführer und Hidden Champions. Sie berichten von langjährigen Entstehungsgeschichten, Generationenwechseln und Neugründungen, aber auch von Unternehmerfähigkeiten und Innovationsstreben sowie ihrem Umgang mit Herausforderungen und Krisen, wie beispielsweise dem Fachkräftemangel oder ländlicher Infrastruktur. Die UnternehmerInnen geben hilfreiche Einblicke in ihre Erfolgsrezepte und erläutern, wie man Krisen auch als Chance begreifen kann. Die mittelständische Wirtschaft zeigt sich als ein wichtiges wirtschaftliches und soziales Standbein im flutbetroffenen Kreis Ahrweiler für heute und die Zukunft. Wir haben eine Unternehmergeneration getroffen, die Visionen für ein nachhaltiges und zukunftsorientiertes Ahrtal mitbringt und damit Mut macht für den Blick nach vorne.
