Hanken researchers release book on practical tools for humanitarians
The book “Supply Chain Management for Humanitarians, Tools for Practice” provides in-depth insight into the management of supply chains in the context of humanitarian logistics. This accessible and practical book considers humanitarian logistics from both a strategic and an operational perspective. The overarching theme is collaboration and coordination, hence tackling one of the biggest challenges in the humanitarian community.
- The book goes through various crisis situations and disasters from a logistical perspective and provides a wide range of case studies from leading organisations such as Oxfam, UNICEF as well as the International Federation of Red Cross and the Red Crescent Societies, says Professor Gyöngyi Kovács.
The book provides a practical guide to humanitarian logistics.
