Description of the research topic:

Dangers of cybercrime have increasing publicity meanwhile businesses consider the stable, reliable electric power supply to be self-evident. The modern electric power supply chains – more concretely the smart grids – show the near future. The technical and engineering parts of them seem to exist and there are more theories for their economic and financial operation, however, the integration of all these into one system may hide more unsolved problems. There is a lack of discussion of the consequences and management of the increased roles of end-users, various involved actors and the behaviour of them. In our view, smart grids are not purely a technology, but a complex set of inter-twined technologies, which requires drastic changes in both user behaviour and society. We see that recent publications dominantly use the scheme of entirely rational end-user behaviour, which may hide security problems and cause unexpected difficulties in practice as well.
Research purposes:
If we look around, we identify some special features of supply chain management both from sectorial and geographical aspect. What are the specialities of supply chains based on industry or region? Supply chains are sensitive to change, especially crises. We should know which type of supply chains could handle changes better. Maybe agile supply chains? How a focus company can lead and manage its supply chain? Is it important to be a focus company within a supply chain? How can supply chains become more flexible and stable at the same time?
