Strategies for managing risk in multinational corporations

Posted on 2008-11-02 by

In my post two days ago, reviewing the article by Manuj and Mentzer (2008) titled Global Supply Chain Risk Management, I mentioned that they cited a paper by Ghoshal (1987) titled Global Strategy: An Organizing Framework as one of their references for listing risk management strategies. Today, I will take a closer look at that paper.

Supply Chain Risk – Business Continuity Management

Posted on 2008-06-29 by

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) has many similarities with Business Continuity Management (BCM). That is why SCRM can and should draw upon BCM for advice. A well-handled supply chain disruption can mean business continuity, while an ill-handled supply chain disruption can mean business dis-continuity.

How to disrupt a supply chain

Posted on 2007-08-26 by

A typical supply chain consists of a company with incoming raw materials from an upstream supplier and outgoing products to a downstream customer.
A supply chain is characterized by its locational and organizational design.
There are many potential disruptions to a supply chain.
The potential disruptions may or may not influence locational decisions.
The impact and severity of disruptions depends on both locational vulnerability and organizational adaptability.

The reliability and vulnerability of transportation lifelines

Posted on 2002-04-25 by

Transportation networks like freeways and interstate highways are the main backbone of modern society. Consequently, the reliability or vulnerability of any transportation network is thus a decisive factor not only in terms of market outreach and competition, but also in terms of continuity, to ensure a 24/7 operation of the community we live in.
