Supply chain risk in an uncertain global supply chain environment

In: International journal of physical distribution and logistics management, Band 34, Heft 9, S. 695-697

Abstract

The breadth and scope of supply chain risks have broadened significantly in recent years. Even prior to the 2001 terrorist attacks, the creep of risks and uncertainties were widening with increased globalization, widening political reach by leading countries, and the rise of market producing and consuming economies. This article raises some essential supply chain questions as well as some that have impact on the field from outside of it.
