CRCGM - Centre de Recherche Clermontois en Gestion et Management

Proposed by Pr. M. AROURI (Tunisia /France) and Pr. P. FENIES (France)

The theme of this session is “Exploring the Operations-Finance interfaces with risk management”. The changing nature of the Supply Chain Management field, which has seen a shift away from the traditional manufacturing-centric view of operations, needs to take into account a financial view of performance in supply chain evaluation. Coordinating financial management across the supply chain is a potential tool to align and improve the financial performance of collaborating firms.
The main goal of this track is to investigate how firm financial management techniques may be used to improve overall supply chain profitability and performance. This session would like to be a bridge between: (i) synergetic application of ideas, methods, and tools from Finance, Operations, and Risk Management to business problems, and (ii) development of new interdisciplinary solutions and insights to help managers of global enterprises with complex decisions.

Experts and professionals from academia, industry and the public sector are invited to submit papers on their recent research and professional experience on the subject. High quality papers reporting on relevant reviews of existing literature, theoretical studies, cases studies, interdisciplinary researches are all very welcome. The appropriate themes for consideration include but are not limited to:

- The role of financial institutions and financial markets in operations and supply chain management;
- Joint operational and financial decisions of the firms in a supply chain management way;
- Operational and financial risks: identification, measurement, pricing, and management;
