Defence logistics research
May 23, 2008 · No Comments
Logistics research takes many forms, but now a different type of conference invitation landed in my mailbox: one to a “military logistics symposium“. It’s in fact a research convention that’s organised by the Nordic Defence Logistic Research Network and takes place during Dec 4/5 in Stockholm. What makes it particularly interesting is that this research network is quite engaged in humanitarian logistics, and CIMIC research at the same time. Not to forget the traditional defence logistics topics that will come up as well.
Interested? Contact Per Skoglund [firstname.lastname@ihh.hj.se] or Michael Dorn [firstname.lastname@fhs.se] for more info. And don’t forget to send in an abstract by June 25, 2008!

New book: Logistics and Supply Chain Management
April 29, 2008 · 1 Comment
After receiving it twice within a week, it’s time to have a look at Patrik Jonsson’s new textbook on, as it says, Logistics and Supply Chain Management. As a completely new book it has the advantage of working in SCM thoroughly through all of it - as opposed to 7th editions of other books… Patrik managed to avoid the logistics functions trap, i.e. has chapters on “the material flow” instead of treating each function separately. Well done. Most of the mini-cases in the book are European ones (including many Nordic ones, for all of those who talk about “going to Europe” when crossing the Baltic Sea or the North Sea 
), not surprisingly, McGraw-Hill also positioned the book for the European market.

PS. A pity it’s written in English, though - I’m hunting for a good book in Swedish for our basic course…
