Companies face a variety of risks resulting from cost reduction strategies, rationalization measures, global sourcing, and outsourcing activities. Due to the large number of actors involved, extremely close ties emerge, which significantly increase supply chains vulnerability to disruptions this has been shown again and again in the past few years. Against this background, the aspect of supply continuity is of increasing importance for all activities that relate to procurement, logistics, and supply chain management. Its objective is to ensure the continuous operation of supply chains, i.e., the uninterrupted flow of material, information, and coordination from the initial supplier to the end customer. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt adequate measures that take into consideration not only potential losses but also potential gains (so-called speculative risks). With this book, the concept of Supply Chain Safety Management is introduced. The concept itself is embedded in a comprehensive and dynamic management process. Depending on a supply chain s individual objectives, a set of courses of action is offered for any risk factors whether they are identifiable and quantifiable or not. The practicability of Supply Chain Safety Management is highlighted by various case studies. The book Supply Chain Safety Management: Achieving Security and Robustness in Logistics targets both the areas of science and of practice. First, the state of the art in research is reflected and valuable impulses for new and respectively for further research fields are provided by taking into consideration the points of view of scientists and practitioners in the business environment. Next, theoretically well substantiated, modern approaches and tools applicable to the business world are offered, an impetus for new ideas and fields of positioning is given and best practice examples are presented allowing a fruitful exchange of experiences between practitioners."
Heritage, as an area of research and learning, often deals with difficult historical questions, due to the strong emotions and political commitments that are often at stake. In this, it poses particular challenges for teachers, museum educators and the publics they serve. Guided by a shared focus on these "sensitive pasts," the contributors to this volume draw on new theoretical and empirical research to provide valuable insights into heritage pedagogy. Together they demonstrate the potential of heritage as a historical-educational domain that transcends myopic patriotism, parochialism and simplistic relativism, helping to enhance critical and sophisticated historical thinking.
Companies face a variety of risks resulting from cost reduction strategies, rationalization measures, global sourcing, and outsourcing activities. Due to the large number of actors involved, extremely close ties emerge, which significantly increase supply chains' vulnerability to disruptions - this has been shown again and again in the past few years.

Chipkartenhersteller sagen eine Revolution unseres Alltags durch eine Karte voraus, mit der man uberall bezahlen kann, die aber auch Haus-und Auto schlussel, Krankenschein und Personalausweis u. v. a. mehr ersetzen solI. Et was bescheidener klingt die Idee einer elektronischen Geldborse, die nach Presseberichten demnachst auch auf der ec-Karte mit Mikrochip unterge bracht werden solI. Wie realistisch sind solche Prognosen? Wer hat welche Interessen an weiteren Karten? Und welche Folgen sind zu erwarten? An die Telefonkarte als Ersatz fUr Kleingeld haben sich die meisten Men schen gewohnt. Die Verbreitung von Kreditkarten steigt. Mit der ec-oder Kreditkarte kann man in einigen Stadten Fahrausweise fUr den offentlichen Personennahverkehr losen, an Parkautomaten bezahlen u. a. m. Vollig unreali stisch ist die Erwartung daher nicht, bewllligt."
