Citation of Excellence Awards 2012

The annual Citation of Excellence Awards recognize “the 50 most outstanding articles published by the top 300 management journals in the world”. Emerald Group Publishing Limited has now announced the winners of the 2012 Awards. All awarded articles are obviously well worth reading. This time, at least two articles related to supply chain management have been awarded: Manuj and Mentzer (2008): Global supply chain risk management and Roth et al. (2008): Unraveling the food supply chain: Strategic insights from China and the 2007 recalls. Congratulations! Only few papers related to SCM have received a Citation of Excellence Award in previous years, e.g., Winklhofer et al. (2006): A cultural perspective of relationship orientation: Using organizational culture to support a supply relationship orientation, Craighead et al. (2007): The severity of supply chain disruptions: Design characteristics and mitigation capabilities, and Holweg et al. (2005): Supply chain collaboration: Making sense of the strategy continuum. Interestingly, all these articles are concerned with either relationships or risks.
