Organized in cooperation with ASELSAN and the Supply Chain Management Association of Turkey (TEDAR), the “Supply Chain Management and the Role of Nationalization and Digitization in the Defense Industry” conference was held in Ankara on 13 November 2019. Approximately 250 people consisting of the main players of the defense industry and TEDAR members attended the conference. As an invited speaker, I made a presentation on the topic of “Managing Complex Supply Chains”, where I discussed the increasing complexity in supply chains, multidimensionality of supply chain complexity, the varying effects on performance, and best practices to manage complexity.
