Blogs are a great way to access specific and current information about supply chain. When written by professionals, blogs can be an easy way to quickly access information about burning topics in the field. On the blog Supply Chain Matters written by Bob Ferrari, a large variety of real world stories are written regarding the supply chain happenings of recognizable companies often in an informal yet informative tone. Blogs often there are a large variety of topics covered that give the specifics on the happenings in the industry globally, and locally. Disadvantages of blogs is that they often can lack credibility if they are not written by a trusted source and can often by biased by the opinions of the author(s).
Scholarly articles can provide in depth information about topics. As they are normally focused in on on specific topic, they provide deeper insight into topics, but with a much more scholarly tone. To publish a scholarly article, a large amount of research needs to be made, and most of the time it is done by the person writing it, making it very credible. Disadvantages of a scholarly article is that they are often a lot of information, making specific info difficult to locate.
Both blogs and scholarly articles can be trustworthy resources for information regarding supply chain management with credible professional authors in the field.
