This book contains 22 articles based on mini-surveys carried out in The Danish Supply Chain Panel from 2012 to 2016. The panel includes supply chain practitioners who have willingly joined the panel and accepted to answer on a number of mini-surveys per year. Beyond the presentation of the articles, the book also contains an evaluation of the first five year of the panel. The Danish Supply Chain Panel can be perceived as a commitment to practical relevance concerning both knowledge production, in terms of raising the right questions to be researched and knowledge transfer, in terms of disseminating the research.

“The value of applied research for practitioners is immense, and The Danish Supply Chain Panel has succeeded in creating a forum for passing on new and relevant knowledge to practitioners, in a timely and effective manner. Professor Jan Stentoft and his team is able to present highly relevant problem scenarios in a clear and understandable way – a “must read” for everyone interested in supply chain management related challenges”.
