Standard reference book “The Oxford Handbook of Supply Chain Management” published
After more than three years, Prof. Dr. Stephan Wagner published a reference book with Oxford University Press together with colleagues from the United States and Asia. The handbook supports supply chain management academia, practice and society in solving the world’s most pressing problems and issues.
In December 2017, colleagues from the United States, Asia and Europe joined forces and kicked off a challenging project. The goal of Thomas Y. Choi, Julie Juan Li, Dale S. Rogers, Tobias Schoenherr and Stephan M. Wagner was bringing together supply chain management thought leaders from around the world and publishing a reference book with Oxford University Press. As of today, the online and print versions are now external pageavailable.
The aspiration was to support scholarship, practice and society in solving the world’s most pressing problems and issues. At the time the project was started, COVID-19 was far away. Now, everybody understands and experiences how critical supply chains are, and what happens if they do not perform as was often taken for granted.
