Book Review: Supply Chain Risk

This book, Supply Chain Risk, is from 2004 and edited by Clare Brindley of the Manchester Metropolitan University, the founder of the International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRiM). It contains 11 chapters written by 11 different authors, each exploring 11 different supply chain contexts and thus 11 different views on supply chain risks and offering 11 different research frameworks, techniques and practices.

Supply Chain Risk fram A to Z

Difference in opinions aside, the key issue of the texts is the exposure to risk and structures and processes aimed at handling this exposure. The book fully shows that supply chain risk management is a wide field, and thus empirically challenging, with many concepts to be explored.  Nonetheless, this field also offers many research opportunities, as this books shows. I for one, despite the confusion, definitely felt inspired to continue my own research alley into this broad and multi-disciplinary field.
