Authors



Abstract

Purpose: This research examines whether an autopoietic cybernetic model can assist in achieving greater
effectiveness and efficiency in the humanitarian supply chain paradigm. It examines the extent to which a holistic view
is taken during humanitarian supply operations and whether a new approach could be taken to resolve the issues and
challenges arising due to the complexity of humanitarian supply networks.
