Background: International network-carriers span the globe by linking airports on all five continents. At the core of those networks are hub-airports that serve as the centers for (inter-)national in- and outbound traffic flows. From a business model point of view, the major international carriers are so-called network-carriers, for their core concept is based on transfer-oriented hub-and-spoke-systems. In order to maximize revenue streams of network-carriers, changes in strategic slot allocation and strategic net planning are becoming increasingly relevant. The aim of this work was to analyze the impact of various elements of the management of strategic coopetition among partners within international airline alliances on the revenues obtained by individual partners. Methods: the problems related to the optimization of strategic slot allocation and strategic net planning from the point of view of the individual profit shared and added net contribution margins were discussed. Results and conclusions: Two extreme scenarios may be projected. The first one is that partners within a given alliance system may start to increase merger and acquisition activities. Thereby scale effects may be utilized. The other one is, when rivalry becomes too dominant over time, some partners may (have to) exit alliance systems. Thereby "atomic" subsystems may be on the rebound. Strategic coopetition management is aimed to keep leading international network carriers "on track" in the field of alliance management of that nature.

Background: Supply chain risk management increasingly gains prominence in many international industries. In order to strengthen supply chain structures, processes, and networks, adequate potentials for risk management need to be built (focus on effective logistics) and to be utilized (focus on efficient logistics). Natural-based disasters, such as the case of Fukushima, illustrate how crucial risk management is. Method: By aligning a theoretical-conceptual framework with empirical-inductive findings, it may be hypothesized that logistical systems do have a positive effect on supply chain risk management activities. Result/conclusion: Flexibility and capacity, as well as redundancy and standardization, are often viewed as being conflictionary. It shows, however, that in the light of supply chain risk management, those factors may yield a common benefit if proper logistics systems are applied.

Wstęp: Zarządzania ryzykiem łańcucha dostaw zyskuje coraz większe znaczenie w wielu międzynarodowych branżach. W celu wzmocnienia struktur łańcucha dostaw, procesów i sieci, należy stworzyć odpowiednie potencjały dla zarządzania ryzykiem (skoncentrowane na efektywnej logistyce) a następnie je stosować (koncentrując się na wydajnej logistyce). Katastrofy naturalne, takie jak na przykład ostatnio Fukushima, pokazują jak istotne jest odpowiednie zarządzanie ryzykiem. Metody: Zestawiając teoretyczno-koncepcyjne założenia z rezultatami emipryczno-indukcyjnymi, można postawić hipotezę, że systemy logistyczne posiadają pozytywny efekt na zarządzanie ryzykiem łańcucha dostaw. Wyniki i wnioski: Elastyczność i wydajność, jak również redukcja i standaryzacja, są często postrzegane jako elementy konfliktowe. Aczkolwiek, rozważając zagadnienia związane z zarządzaniem ryzykiem łańcucha dostaw, czynniki te mogą przyczynić się do wspólnie osiągniętych korzyści, pod warunkiem prawidłowo skonstruowanych systemów logistycznych.
