¶ … Resilience in Supply Chain Management- A Critical Review
Resilience to any management issue involving economic and social relevance especially in a dynamic and fast changing environment requires empirical research data to substantiate and authenticate the mitigation and pre-emptive formats designed. Most studies that appropriate risks have done so based on incidences and are thus effect-based (reactive) rather than being original considerations. As such, most studies prepare organizations for situations that have already occurred, which may not be enough, as the nature of risks, calamities and place of occurrence are changing rapidly. The article under consideration does well to incorporate most of the important elements to create a framework for building resilience in a Supply Chain Management organization.
This article integrates the implications of the business-resilience research concept for management, and explains the way business resilience practice will be able to aid organizations in managing their international supply chains within a progressively unstable business setting. Preliminary research resulted in the creation of the Supply Chain Resilience Assessment & Management (SCRAM) tool that was validated using information from seven international service and manufacturing companies. The mixed methods approach of triangulation was applied for identifying specific links between controllable capability and integral vulnerability elements, allowing for production of capability improvement recommendations to conquer high-priority weaknesses. Subsequent to the preliminary research stage, a process was established for tool implementation, employed in over twenty business units. Further insights were obtained via meetings and discourse with other companies (Fiksel, Polyviou, Croxton, & Pettit, 2014). A major omission, to complete the perception appears in the lack of considering the consumer-side resilience structure that is vital to any business enterprise. Most of the framework emphasis is on supply-side management, mitigation and rebuilding. Secondly, the article fails to segment the vulnerabilities as macro, micro and meso economic issues, instead clubbing them all under a general...

Synthetic event-Related potentials: A computational bridge between neurolinguistics models and experiments An article was chosen from a peer-reviewed journal known as Neural Networks on the basis that it not only has various implications for the future of neurolinguistics research, but I also found it interesting and related to my intended future career profession. There have been different methods of mapping actual brain activity that occur in normal human cognition and such
The peer-reviewed article focused on managers, and management-specific issues, such as the deployment of the popular philosophy of participatory management in several cultural contexts. It was particularly effective in the way that it contrasted the different ways this philosophy can be deployed, in the more individualistic Finn context, versus the consensus-building Swedish context, where consensus building is stressed. Also, the note that quite often managers who know that participatory

Substance use disorder is a common comorbidity in these individuals. Supporting data from several studies shows that the smoking rates among schizophrenics and bipolar are two to three times those of the general population. It is hypothesized that this is as a result of schizophrenics
