GRA 6723 Supply Chain Risk Management
GRA 6723 Supply Chain Risk Management
Today’s turbulent environment has put supply chain risk management (SCRM) on top of the strategic agenda in many organizations across industries and sectors. As a result, SCRM, and more recently the related term, supply chain resilience (SCRES), have become one of the fastest growing research streams within the SCM field. Supply chains are increasingly complex, with many interdependent actors crossing organizational and national boundaries. The risk of disruptions between supply and demand increases, and SCRM needs to include the global supply chain. Furthermore, SCRM needs to balance social, environmental, and economical sustainability goals. To cope with these challenges, collaborative strategies are critical but challenging.
