They agreed to hold an annual conference, to be rotated among the Nordic nations; and decided English would be the official language of the conference. Since English is (arguably) the international language of logistics scholarship, the Nordic countries have given the global community of logistics researchers a great gift: access to volumes of logistics knowledge, such as the fifteen chapters of Northern Lights in Logistics & Supply Chain Management. While being in English makes Nordic logistics research accessible, other qualities make these pieces worthy of reading, discussion and reference. The chapters are rigorous, inter-disciplinary, rich and insightful. Whether served with coffee or beer, this collection is sure to inspire thinking and action."Paul D. Larson, Professor, University of Manitoba, Asper School of Business, Canada "With this book the Nordic logistics research community tries to answer the question is there a distinctive Nordic approach to Logistics and SCM? By doing so, the authors question logistics thinking itself and their collaborative journey and joint effort ends with a series of chapters that paints a rich, diverse and up-to-date panorama of logistics and SCM research. Whether you are Nordic or not, if you are interested in research in logistics and SCM, you will benefit from the work presented here. It discusses some cornerstones of our domain, and provides some milestones for further research. This book encourages European researchers to dare diverge from mainstream American way, and to explore new avenues in line with hot topics and key questions within European business."Nathalie Fabbe-Costes, Professor, Universite de la Mediterranee-Aix-Marseille II, France "The NOFOMA network started off about 20 years ago in a really small scale but has now gained improved credibility and substantial recognition in the global village of logistics research. The NOFOMA network has been instrumental in developing logistics research as well as developing logistics researchers. For many young PhD Students the NOFOMA conferences have been the first contact with the extended research community and thus served as a greenhouse for raising the next generation of scholars. Being aware of your research methodology and critically examining the current research paradigm constitutes the foundation for good research. This has in many aspects been the common denominator in the many NOFOMA conferences. The authors of this book make a synthesis of the research conducted in the Nordic countries compared with conventional mainstream research. As a result a Nordic approach to logistics research has crystallized, and that is what this book is about."Daniel Knudsen, Senior Project Manager, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, Sweden Details ISBN8763002183 Short Title NORTHERN LIGHTS IN LOGISTICS & Pages 285 Publisher Copenhagen Business School Press Language English ISBN-10 8763002183 ISBN-13 9788763002189 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2008 DOI 10.1604/9788763002189 UK Release Date 2008-06-01 Imprint Copenhagen Business School Press Place of Publication Frederksberg Country of Publication Denmark Author Karen Spens Publication Date 2008-06-01 Edited by Karen Spens DEWEY 658.7 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
