Findings This research paper concentrates on clarifying how the proactive supply chain risk management (SCRM) strategies of supply chain (SC) flexibility, SC responsiveness, and SC resilience, impact upon SCRM performance. Data from the Turkish manufacturers revealed that SC resilience and SC responsiveness significantly boost SCRM performance, as well as overall firm performance, by reducing their associated risk, but that SC flexibility does not. Furthermore, the presence of a risk management culture in itself did not yield the expected ultimate increase in SCRM performance.

With pretty much any major brand you can think of, it is hard to imagine any of them ceding control.

Findings Reputation is that most slippery of corporate notions. While it can feed an organization over and over in terms of revenues and profitability, it can also take them away in an instant, often without warning or any fault attributed to the firm itself. Yet despite this, corporate Canutes continually seek to tame the raging beast that is reputation through all sorts of policies, governance and frameworks without ever stopping to think where to focus their defensive measures.

Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – This is a serious question, although it may not appear that way, but it must be asked anyway: does Harry Potter actually learn anything while at Hogwarts school? The now wizard spends seven years and there are thousands of highly lucrative words devoted to his secondary schooling, but is there a single instance where readers witness him being taught something, and then he is able to provide evidence that he has learnt something? If, as some people have argued, Harry Potter is an allegory for education in the modern era, then the satirical intent of JK Rowling should perhaps be given more credence.
