Oftentimes, seemingly robust systems fail, almost inexplicably, due to unforeseen events
leading to disruption. Exploration and research of the mechanisms behind the failure of such …

The purpose of this paper is to advance supply chain network theory by applying theoretical
and empirical developments in complex network literature to the context of supply chains as …

The apparel supply chain is an example of a complex global supply chain where
sustainability issues are a concern and where no satisfactory answers have been achieved …

This unique textbook provides an introduction to statistical inference with network data. The
authors present a self-contained derivation and mathematical formulation of methods …

In 1965, Mexico started an industrialization program focused on promoting the
establishment of industries in the northern region. Years later, in 1992, Mexico signed the …

The amplification of demand variation in a supply chain network (SCN) is a well-known
phenomenon called the bullwhip effect, which creates inefficiencies due to high variation in …

Today, the semiconductor industry is integral to the functionality of many critical goods and
processes that are highly valued. The increasing demand across various semiconductor …

Purpose Easily employable quantitative supply chain complexity (SCC) measures
considering the significant dimensions of complexity as well as the drivers that represent …

In this research, we explore a new phenomenon where advertising expenditure is found to
oscillate between supply partners of a supply chain network (SCN) in a predictable manner …

Cascades over networks (eg, neuronal avalanches, social contagions, and system failures)
often involve higher-order dependencies, yet theory development has largely focused on …
