Examining the negative consequences that arise from supply chain risks, this book systematically explores firms’ responses to these risks in different situations. In particular, it focuses on sourcing strategies of firms under supply chain risks and the different mitigation tools they use, such as supplier development and multisourcing.Supply chains have expanded extensively because many firms try to take advantage of outsourcing of their raw materials and critical components. Though firms can reap significant benefits due to the widespread use of outsourcing, they have to deal with increasing supply chain risks. In general, supply chain risks are various and may be originated from natural disasters, labor strikes, fires, and so on. These risk incidents can cause serious damage to firms’ profit performance.The analysis and insights from this book can be utilized by firms to alleviate the impact of supply chain risks in the sourcing process. It will also be of interest to researchers and students studying supply chain management.

This book systematically outlines the complex relationship between modern new poetry and classical poetry traditions of China for the first time. Since its Chinese first publication in 1994, this book has been an important reference for the study of Chinese modern new poetry.This book consists of four chapters. The first three chapters analyze the influence of Chinese classical poetry traditions on modern Chinese new poetry from a macro-perspective while the last chapter uses case studies to illustrate the influence of traditions on individual writers from a more micro-perspective. Together, these four chapters provide a multilayered elaboration on the complex relationship between traditional Chinese poetry and modern Chinese poetry. The author argues that Chinese modern new poetry does not completely deviate from Chinese classical poetry traditions, but draws nourishment from Chinese and Western poetry traditions and continues to form new traditions.

With the widespread interest in digital entertainment and the advances in the tech- logies of computer graphics, multimedia and virtual reality technologies, a new area–– “Edutainment”––has been accepted as a union of education and computer entertainment. Edutainment is recognized as an effective way of learning through a medium, such as a computer, software, games or VR applications, that both educates and entertains. The Edutainment conference series was established and followed as a special event for the new interests in e-learning and digital entertainment. The main purpose of Edutainment conferences is the discussion, presentation, and information exchange of scientific and technological developments in the new community. The Edutainment conference series is a very interesting opportunity for researchers, engineers and graduate students who wish to communicate at these international annual events. The conference series includes plenary invited talks, workshops, tutorials, paper presen- tion tracks and panel discussions. The Edutainment conference series was initiated in Hangzhou, China in 2006. Following the success of the first event (Edutainment 2006 in Hangzhou, China) and the second one (Edutainment 2007 in Hong Kong, China), Edutainment 2008 was held June 25–27, 2007 in Nanjing, China. This year, we received 219 submissions from 26 different countries and regions, including United Arab Emirates, Canada, Thailand, New Zealand, Austria, Turkey, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Cuba, Australia, Hong Kong (China), Pakistan, M- ico, Czech Republic, USA, Malaysia, Italy, Spain, France, UK, The Netherlands, Taiwan (China), Japan, South Korea, and China.
