There can be no generally valid risk for all types of supply chains, but risks must be defined from within the context of the supply chain that is the subject of analysis.
Each individual supply chain is unique in certain respects and this uniqueness may require unique approaches to the management of the risks involved.
SCRM needs to address the whole supply chain, since risk can emanate from any part of the supply chain and potentially affect the performance of the entire supply chain.
The primary purpose of this book is to collect and share various streams of research and trends in supply chain risk, predominantly from the ISCRIM (International Supply Chain Risk Management) network.
