Vol. 5 No. 2 (2012): July/December

Dear JOSCM Readers, 

It gives us great pleasure to announce the engaging contents of the new issue of the Journal of Operations and Supply Chain Management. This issue features a considerable range of topics, from understanding supply chain in service organizations to cooperation between suppliers and buyers in agribusiness industries. 

Also we are very excited about the release of our Special Issue in Sustainable Operations, released simultaneously with this regular issue. 

The guest editors Iuri Gavronski, Geraldo Ferrer and Stephan Vachon are recognized scholars in this topic. 

We expect that this discussion of sustainable operations has strengthened the fundamental themes of such a "hot topic" for all the industries today. 

Finally, we hope that you find both the issues interesting and thought-provoking.
