If they make contact with an advanced alien civilization, how will humankind respond? In thinking about first contact, the contributors to this volume present new empirical and theoretical research on the societal dimensions of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Archaeologists and astronomers explore the likelihood that extraterrestrial intelligence exists, using scientific insights to estimate such elusive factors as the longevi 606 $aExtraterrestrial beings 615 0$aExtraterrestrial beings. 676 $a999 701 $aVakoch$b Douglas A$01130016 701 $aHarrison$b Albert A$01468133 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781845503321 996 $aCivilizations beyond earth$93679119 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03223nam 2200709 450 001 9910809793703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-78539-570-X 010 $a1-63157-058-7 035 $a(CKB)2550000001351898 035 $a(EBL)1779302 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001540987 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11880531 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001540987 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11534406 035 $a(PQKB)11559760 035 $a(OCoLC)891574340 035 $a(CaBNVSL)swl00404001 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1779302 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10940896 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL642131 035 $a(OCoLC)890441691 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781631570575 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1779302 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001351898 100 $a20140926d2014 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSupply chain risk management $etools for analysis /$fDavid L.

However, this opportunity to lower costs entails significant risks, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, political unrest, and economic turbulence. This book discusses risks in supply chain management, followed by graphic and quantitative tools (risk matrices, selection methods, risk simulation modeling, linear programming, and business scorecard analysis) to help manage these risks. 410 0$a2014 digital library. 410 0$aSupply and operations management collection.$x2156-8200 606 $aBusiness logistics$xRisk management 610 $aSupply chain 610 $arisk management 610 $arisk matrix 610 $asystem selection 610 $aMonte Carlo simulation 610 $aoptimization model 610 $abalanced scorecard 615 0$aBusiness logistics$xRisk management. 676 $a658.7 700 $aOlson$b David Louis.$0477805 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809793703321 996 $aSupply chain risk management$93968507 997 $aUNINA
