Interested in supply chain governance. Take for instance the recent 'horsemeat' scandal. Who was in control? What can we do as a research community on this topic? What might the implications for practice and policy be?
Hi Miles, I do belive this paper (published 2 months ago) contributes with both answers on statistics on the fragmented structure of the industry, the control/monitoring complexity and identifies some future research topics.

Consider the literature on "power" in the channel and "Channel Captains" as both consider who "manages" or "controls" the supply chain.
McDonalds does a great job of this...to ensure consistency...where they manage the supply chain all the way down to the grain fed to the cattle.
Dear all,
I am delighted to have received feedback on the below. I agree on the above points, interested in transparency and relationships by exploring what "connectivity" means in a SC context.
Our first case-study will be on Halal meat supply chain.
