How autopoietic cybernetics can contribute to humanitarian supply network operations (2024)
Thesis
Duddy, D. G. How autopoietic cybernetics can contribute to humanitarian supply network operations. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Purpose: This research examines whether an autopoietic cybernetic model can assist in achieving greater effectiveness and efficiency in the humanitarian supply chain paradigm. It demonstrates how Systems Thinking is required to achieve a holistic vie... Read More about How autopoietic cybernetics can contribute to humanitarian supply network operations.

The humanitarian supply network: A paradigm problem and a big idea (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Stantchev, D., & Weaver, M. (2023, September). The humanitarian supply network: A paradigm problem and a big idea. Paper presented at Logistics Research Network (LRN) Conference 2023, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland

This research examines whether greater effectiveness and efficiency in humanitarian supply chains can be achieved by adopting a cybernetic approach to information flow. It looks at how, by taking a holistic view of humanitarian supply operations, the... Read More about The humanitarian supply network: A paradigm problem and a big idea.

The Applicability of Autopoietic Cybernetics in Humanitarian Supply Chain Thinking (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2022, September). The Applicability of Autopoietic Cybernetics in Humanitarian Supply Chain Thinking. Presented at Logistics Research Network Conference, Supply Chain Innovation: People, Process, Technology, Birmingham, UK

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 humani... Read More about The Applicability of Autopoietic Cybernetics in Humanitarian Supply Chain Thinking.

The Applicability of Commercial Supply Chain Models in Humanitarian Supply Chain Thinking (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D. G., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2019, September). The Applicability of Commercial Supply Chain Models in Humanitarian Supply Chain Thinking. Presented at Logistics Research Network Annual Conference 2019, Northampton

This research argues that there are a number of potential pitfalls when using traditional commercial supply chain models for humanitarian supply chain issues and it examines the extent to which existing humanitarian supply chain thinking is based on...

Towards 'Systemic Sustainability': Assessing the O.R. Contribution (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Weaver, M., Tan, H., & Duddy, D. (2019, September). Towards 'Systemic Sustainability': Assessing the O.R. Contribution. Paper presented at Operational Research Society Annual Conference, University of Kent

The emerging 'sustainability paradigm' presents challenges and opportunities for the next generation of leaders. However, Howieson, Burnes and Summers (2019) acknowledge that organisational leadership is based (generally) on a neoliberal paradigm and...

How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2017, September). How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains. Paper presented at Annual Conference of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Logistics Research Network (LRN)

Purpose
This research develops a model similar to that used in Forrester’s ‘Beer Distribution Game’ to understand where uncertainty is generated in humanitarian supply chains. It examines the extent to which the Bullwhip Effect impacts upon a humani... Read More about How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains.
