This spectrum includes technical high schools and colleges, post-secondary and graduate- level programs, as well as professional industry certifications. Logistics has always been a part of any successful business model, but logistics-related classes or even degrees are often incorporated into different departments such as marketing. As the economy and global marketplace has evolved, so has the field of logistics.

    A Critical Success Factor in the Logistics of Donations Management

    Collaboration: A critical success factor in the logistics of donations management Leonardo Varella Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Mirian Buss Gonçalves Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Abstract Donations Management is an important and relevant aspect in humanitarian operations. This paper presents collaboration as the most critical factor within an efficient donations management, asserting strategies that might improve its relevance in such scenarios, proposing an operations reference model, and simulation as important tools to achieve better results Keywords: donations management, humanitarian logistics, reference model INTRODUCTION Humanitarian logistics is a complex and highly unstable business process, because it involves serious operational challenges such as: the uncertainty of time, personnel training, issues regarding the media coverage, financial support from different entities, lack of information and poor presentation, setting up an information technology infrastructure, among others (Overstreet et al., 2011). Adverse situations where such knowledge can be applied for the relief and recovery of an initial state vary, such as wars, terrorist attacks, forest fires, landslides, flooding, droughts, famine, to name a few. Humanitarian aid environments have a wide variety of actors, each one with different backgrounds, goals, interests, and skills. These environments commonly need supplies, clothing and food in quantities and times that defy other logistics operations. Such humanitarian logistics processes occur through the humanitarian supply chain. One of the critical factors for the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian logistics operations and the management of relevant supply chains is the donations management, a logistic flow with unique features and characteristics. Donations management is an imperative and relevant aspect in humanitarian operations.

    Issues and Experiences in Logistics Collaboration

    Issues and Experiences in Logistics Collaboration Nadia Lehoux 1, Jean-François Audy 1, Sophie D‘Amours 1, Mikael Rönnqvist 2 1 FORAC,CIRRELT, Université Laval, Québec, Canada 2 Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Bergen, Norway [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Collaborative logistics is becoming more important in today’s industry. This is driven by increased environmental concerns, improved efficiency through collaborative planning supporting resources sharing and new business models implementation. This paper explores collaborative logistics and reports on business applications within the forest products industry in Sweden and Canada. It first describes current opportunities in collaborative planning. It then discusses issues related to building the coalition as well as sharing resources and benefits. Three business cases are described and used to support the discussion around these main issues. Finally, different challenges are detailed, opening new paths for researchers in the field. Keywords: Collaborative logistics, inter-firm collaborations, game theory. 1 Introduction Logistics and transportation are activities that provide many opportunities for collaboration between companies. This collaboration, either through information or resource sharing, aims to reduce the cost of executing the logistics activities, improve service, enhance capacities as well as protect environment and mitigate climate change. Specifically, collaboration occurs when two or more entities form a coalition and exchange or share resources (including information), with the goal of making decisions or realizing activities that will generate benefits that they cannot (or only partially) generate individually. This can range from information exchange, joint planning, joint execution, up to strategic alliance (e.g.

Since then, they have mushroomed. The rankings have consistently caused concern among AACSB International accredited schools and members. For instance, across various rankings different methodologies and data collection produce wide variations in results. Students and others often do not realize that usually only MBA programs are being evaluated. Nonetheless, most business schools continue to participate even though the cost in manpower and resources is high because the rankings garner so much atten- tion from prospective students, alumni, and major donors. A rankings task force of AACSB International’s Committee on Issues in Management Education (CIME) has created the following report to the Board of Directors that marks the beginning of a long-term initiative to place rankings in perspective and to expand access to students and employers to additional, relevant data they need to make decisions.

Roe* Abstract In this review piece, I outline the institutions of corporate governance decision- making in the large public firm in the wealthy West. By corporate governance, I mean the relationships at the top of the firm—the board of directors, the senior managers, and the stockholders. By institutions I mean those repeated mechanisms that allocate authority among the three and that affect, modulate, and control the decisions made at the top of the firm. Core corporate governance institutions respond to two distinct problems, one of vertical governance (between distant shareholders and managers) and another of horizontal governance (between a close, controlling shareholder and distant shareholders). Some institutions deal well with vertical corporate governance but do less well with horizontal governance. The institutions interact as complements and substitutes, and many can be seen as developing out of a “primitive” of contract law. In Part I, I sort out the central problems of corporate governance. In Part II, I catalog the basic institutions of corporate governance, from markets to organization to contract.

In this context, reliable management of inventory for consign- ment stock in hospitals or local forward stocking locations (FSLs) can be an alternative to express deliveries. In intelligent combination with European central warehouses, this can lead to an overall reduction in inventory even at the highest level of availability. Arvato has developed a tool, the Magic Cube of Inventory Management that provides analytic support for optimal field inventory. Field inventory management is generally outsourced, increasingly as part of an integrated process chain and across multiple countries.

    The Great Divide Between Business School Research and Business Practice

    Business School Research and Business Practice / I. Dostaler & T. J. Tomberlin 115 CSSHE SCÉES Canadian Journal of Higher Education Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur Volume 43, No. 1, 2013, pages 115-128 The Great Divide Between Business School Research and Business Practice Isabelle Dostaler Concordia University Thomas J. Tomberlin Carleton University Abstract In their 2005 Harvard Business Review article, Bennis and O’Toole described business schools as being “on the wrong track” as a result of their focus on so-called scientific research. Some commentators argue that business schools have slowly lost their relevance since the end of the 1950s when they under- took a major overhaul in response to the harsh criticism of the Ford and the Carnegie Foundations on the state of theory and research in business admin- istration. Inspired by Khurana’s (2007) book on the development of American business schools, this article describes the debate on the relevance of scientific business research that can be found in the popular business press and the aca- demic literature, and suggests a number of structural and cultural changes to increase the relevance of business research and its impact on practice. Résumé Dans leur article publié en 2005 dans la Harvard Business Review, Bennis et O’Toole décrivaient les écoles de gestion comme étant « sur la mauvaise voie » en raison de l’importance qu’elles accordent à la recherche soi-disant scientifique. Certains observateurs soutiennent que les écoles de gestion ont lentement perdu leur pertinence depuis la fin des années 1950 alors qu’elles ont entrepris d’importants remaniements en réponse aux critiques sévères formulées par les fondations Ford et Carnegie quant à la théorie et à la recherche en administration des affaires.
