We outline a new approach to the analysis of supply chains which uncovers a duality between networks as knowledge structures and networks as decision-making structures. The work incorporates a network transformation which introduces, under fairly gen... Read More about Decision frontiers in supply chain networks..

Recent work identifying an equilibrium solution in a supply chain network through cooperation and coordination along edges (links) in the network identifies the links as the stochastic modelling entities rather than the nodes of the network. This has... Read More about Fractals, complexity and chaos in supply chain networks..
