Business Newsletter
Dear Ms. Martinetti,

Was the pharmacy recently out of something you needed? I hope not! From important cancer medicines to antipyretics, drug shortages are challenging politics and industry. Why are these shortages becoming more frequent and what can we do about it? Read more in the current study by Prof. Kai Hoberg.
 
I, too, have been involved in researching the management of pharmaceutical supply chains. The root causes of drug shortages and quality risks in Europe are the globalization of pharmaceutical manufacturing and the increasing complexity and opaqueness of its supply chains. What are your experiences? Write to me!
 
Here are some more topics in this newsletter. Executive Education: Our SuMO program, Sustainable Management and Operations, has begun! Here’s what participants say. Research: The ce:VersA project, led by KLU, is paving the way for a more circular economy in the automotive industry. People: Leadership and job sharing are a great match, Alida Tiemann of Tchibo said in our Alumni Story.
 
Enjoy the longer days of spring. Besides, we wish you a stimulating read.
 
Yours,
 
Prof. Dr. Ivan Lugovoi
Assistant Professor of Medical and Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management
Guest Editor
 
P.S.: Looking for new talents? We regularly host opportunities for companies to get to know our KLU students and graduates, most recently our Career Connect event. Watch the video…
