Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Rungtusanatham, M. J., & Johnston, D. A. (2023). "Get Ready for the Next Supply Disruption", Sloan Management Review, 64(2), 60-65.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for companies to improve their supply chain resilience. A poll conducted by the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics found that only 16% of organizations had an emergency response center in place, which is crucial for mitigating disruptions in the flow of goods. To address this, companies need to develop capabilities to manage supply disruptions, including the ability to anticipate, diagnose, detect, activate resources, protect against, and track threats. These capabilities, known as the ADDAPT framework, help companies understand the causes and effects of disruptions and enable them to respond and prevent future disruptions. Here, Rungtusanatham and Johnston provide insights from Loblaw, Canada's largest supermarket chain, as a case study and outline actions companies can take to develop these capabilities. By mastering the ADDAPT framework, companies can better manage supply disruptions and minimize their impact on critical relationships.

Abstract This research focuses on managing disruption risk in supply chains using inventory and reserve capacity under stochastic demand. While inventory can be considered as a speculative risk mitigation lever, reserve capacity can be used in a reactive fashion when a disruption occurs. We determine optimal inventory levels and reserve capacity production rates for a firm that is exposed to supply chain disruption risk. We fully characterise four main risk mitigation strategies: inventory strategy, reserve capacity strategy, mixed strategy and passive acceptance. We illustrate how the optimal risk mitigation strategy depends on product characteristics (functional versus innovative) and supply chain characteristics (agile versus efficient). This work is inspired from a risk management problem of a leading pharmaceutical company.
