Purchasing and Supply Chain Management
This is the ground-breaking new book for aspiring purchasing and supply chain leaders and anyone with a keen interest in this rapidly evolving field. For too long business has focused on short-term cost advantages through low-cost country sourcing with little regard for the longer-term implications of global sustainability. As the first book to fully address the environmental, social and economic challenges of how companies manage purchasing and supply chains, it aims to inspire the development of current and future purchasing and supply chain leaders. In addition to explaining the basic principles and processes of both purchasing and supply chain management, the book evaluates how to develo...
Practitioners Perspectives on Contemporary Supply Chain Management
This book contains 22 articles based on mini-surveys carried out in The Danish Supply Chain Panel from 2012 to 2016. The panel includes supply chain practitioners who have willingly joined the panel and accepted to answer on a number of mini-surveys per year. Beyond the presentation of the articles, the book also contains an evaluation of the first five years of the panel. The Danish Supply Chain Panel can be perceived as a commitment to practical relevance concerning both knowledge production, in terms of raising the right questions to be researched and knowledge transfer, in terms of disseminating the research. "The value of applied research for practitioners is immense, and The Danish Supply Chain Panel has succeeded in creating a forum for passing on new and relevant knowledge to practitioners, in a timely and effective manner. Professor Jan Stentoft and his team are able to present highly relevant problem scenarios in a clear and understandable way-a 'must read' for everyone interested in supply chain management related challenges."--Soren Vammen, CEO, Danish Purchasing & Logistics Forum [Subject: Business & Management, Danish Studies]

Reducing Cost of Energy in the Offshore Wind Energy Sector
A multidisciplinary project focusing on supply chain innovation in the offshore wind energy sector has been carried out from 2014 to 2019. Based on in-depth industry involvement, the overall objective of the project is to provide new knowledge on means for Reducing the Cost of Energy (ReCoE) obtained from offshore wind parks through industrialization of the sector. The project has been managed by the University of Southern Denmark and, beyond their own researchers from the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering, has also included researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The whole project has applied a management approach to ReCoE. This book contains 16 selected articles disseminating practical relevant knowledge about supply chain management practice, maturity, innovation-fostering practice, supply network strategies, operations and maintenance, and emerging issues. The articles are encapsulated by an introduction to ReCoE and perspectives on future developments of research within this area.
Handbook of Theories for Purchasing, Supply Chain and Management Research
This clear and coherent book introduces agent-based modelling (ABM) to those who are not familiar with nor have been previously exposed to computational simulation. Featuring examples, cases and models, the book illustrates how ABM can, and should, be considered as a useful approach and technique for the study of management and organisational systems.
Purchasing and Supply Management
The Fourteenth Edition of Purchasing and Supply Management provides a comprehensive introduction to the purchasing and supply chain management field, supported by over 40 case studies. Cases cover purchasing and supply chain issues in a variety of settings, from process industries to high tech manufacturing and services as well as public institutions. The text focuses on decision making throughout the supply chain. Based on the conviction that supply managers, in concert with suppliers and distributors, have to contribute to organizational goals and strategies, this edition continues to focus on how to make that mission a reality.
The Optics of Life
Optics—a field of physics focusing on the study of light—is also central to many areas of biology, including vision, ecology, botany, animal behavior, neurobiology, and molecular biology. The Optics of Life introduces the fundamentals of optics to biologists and nonphysicists, giving them the tools they need to successfully incorporate optical measurements and principles into their research. Sönke Johnsen starts with the basics, describing the properties of light and the units and geometry of measurement. He then explores how light is created and propagates and how it interacts with matter, covering topics such as absorption, scattering, fluorescence, and polarization. Johnsen also provides a tutorial on how to measure light as well as an informative discussion of quantum mechanics. The Optics of Life features a host of examples drawn from nature and everyday life, and several appendixes that offer further practical guidance for researchers. This concise book uses a minimum of equations and jargon, explaining the basic physics of light in a succinct and lively manner. It is the essential primer for working biologists and for anyone seeking an accessible introduction to optics.
