In diesem Sommer 2020 erscheint von dem seit Jahrzehnten bekannten Paul Klee-Experten Otto Karl Werckmeister eine fundamental neue Untersuchung zur Geschichte der Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert. Darin wird erstmals die politische Konfrontation der Künste zwischen Kommunismus, 'Faschismus' und Demokratie minutiös rekonstruiert. Anlässlich der Veröffentlichung des Buches, das in der Schriftenreihe »Zurich Studies in the History of Art« von Wolfgang F. Kersten für das Kunsthistorische Institut der Universität Zürich ediert worden ist, hat der Herausgeber den Autor darum gebeten, vier Statements zu seinem Werk zu formulieren, siehe: Otto Karl Werckmeister The Political Confrontation of the Arts in Europe from the Great Depression to the Second World War, (Zurich Studies in the History of Art, Georges Bloch Annual, University of Zurich, Institute of Art History, 2019/20, vol. 24/25), Heidelberg, ART-Books, 2020 Im Folgenden seien diese Ausführungen exklusiv ergänzt um zwei Auszüge aus dem Buch, in denen das Thema »Revolution« behandelt wird, – angesichts von Werken, die Paul Klee beziehungsweise Gerd Arntz geschaffen haben. Eine vorangestellte kurze Übersicht zum gesamten Inhalt des Buches dient der Orientierung. Die Bebilderung findet sich nur hier und nicht in der Publikation.

Crises including the COVID-19 pandemic have caused disruptive changes to many industries and supply chains around the world. Their severe impacts on business and the economy provide an opportunity to increase preparedness and reveal the importance of implementing a collaborative supply chain risk management process. This paper uses a bibliometric analysis based on a co-citation analysis to reveal the research areas and gaps concerning collaborative supply chain risk management with a focus on crisis situations. Using a structured approach based on Soni and Kodali (2011) and Gmür (2003), 269 papers were extracted from the database Web of Science (WOS) using a specific search string. Data filtering and preparation using title, abstract, and full paper screening, as well as the number of cited-in references, led to a final sum of 50 papers. These papers were prepared for the co-citation analysis based on a co-citation matrix that served as an input for the Organizational Risk Analyzer (ORA) software. The cluster analysis was carried out in the ORA software with a threshold of 0.01, and based on that, five clusters were extracted from the network. Extracted main research areas include collaboration approaches and criteria as well as decision-making approaches and lessons learned from COVID-19. Research gaps and suggested future research areas are presented based on the clusters analysis.

This volume contains research contributions by an international group of authors focusing on innovative models to optimize logistics and supply chains at an operational level. They address process efficiency and data-related aspects. Supply chain security insights are also given.$cen$dAbstract

The HICL-Conference celebrates its 10th anniversary, indicating major interest in the research fields of supply chain management and logistics. They are dedicated to make recommendations for new approaches and solutions that enable companies to cope with current and future challenges in supply chains and logistics. The first volume of the 2015 conference addresses innovative and technology-based approaches for logistics and supply chains. It presents business models and investment options for enhanced strategic decision making as well as recent approaches for supply chain risk management.$cen$dAbstract

The incremental awareness regarding social and environmental issues has pushed organizations to adopt sustainable practices. Over the last few years, organizations are considered to be responsible for their business activities that affect the environment, society, and the economy of their own business as well as their supply chain participants. Different stakeholders pressurize organizations and their supply chains to follow sustainable actions in order to achieve sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) goals. However, not all stakeholders have the ability to force organizations to take sustainability initiatives. Some of them help organizations at least to be aware of sustainability issues such as media/press while others emphasize to adopt a certain level of commitment and implement sustainability goals such as NGOs, customers, government, shareholders, community activists, global competition, etc. This research paper aims to identify drivers that push organizations towards achieving sustainability in their operations. The systematic literature review of scientific journal articles has identified 'regulatory pressures' and 'market pressures' as the most frequently cited drivers for the implementation of sustainability initiatives.

Currently, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) aim at developing Internet‐based methods to redesign their relationships with the suppliers. The majority of the manufacturers believe this to be a possibility to improve the relationships to their suppliers, especially regarding transparent cost‐structures. Suppliers on the other hand are very skeptical about methods in this area. Their fears of rising price pressure and potential losses of know‐how and competitive advantages are high. This article examines how strategic sourcing can be supported by Internet‐based methods. Thus, it tries to answer the question how the relationship between OEMs and suppliers will develop regarding the sourcing of complex material: will the Internet‐based relationships enhance collaboration or increase competition? An empirical study within the German automotive industry shows that the views of suppliers and OEMs differ substantially regarding the benefits and risks of an Internet‐based support of strategic sourcing. Hence, it seems that non‐technological problems are the main obstacles in the transition of these methods. It is evident that suppliers generally fear increased transparency within their structures in many different areas.
