A review of strategic planning for dynamic supply chains: Preparing for uncertainty using scenarios

Abstract

This is a book review of Strategic Planning for Dynamic Supply Chains: Preparing for Uncertainty Using Scenarios by Shardul S. Phadnis, Yossi Sheffi, and Chris Caplice (Cham, Switzerland, 226 p, 2022). The book covers three case studies, presented as vignettes, which illustrate three unique applications of a seven‐step approach to scenario planning, modeled after the Intuitive Logics School. The book is aimed at executives and business leaders, as well as academics, and scenario planning practitioners. This review discusses the unique aspects the scenario team brings to the strategic space, the strengths of their pragmatic process, and key elements in practice that are often left out of the larger academic scholarship.
