Sommario/riassunto

This e-book contains five papers selected from the combined Fourth Worldwide Symposium in Purchasing & Supply Chain Management, 15th Annual IPSERA conference and 17th NARTS conference. The papers, which are some of the strongest from the symposium, suggest international answers to the three key challenges outlined in the keynote addresses at the symposium: coordinating supply across complex global networks, coping with uncertainty and risk, and the challenge of strategic alignment.
