Supply Chain Risk and Disruption Management

This book discusses important issues related to managing supply chain disruption risks from various perspectives during VUCA (Volatile, uncertain, complex and adaptable) times. It explores the essence and principles relating to managing these risks and provides the framework and multi-goal model groups for managing such unknown unknown risks and subsequent disruptions at global scale. Topics of interests of this edited handbook include (but not limited to): i. Literature reviews on different areas of supply chain risk and disruption management; ii. Unknown knowns vs unknows unknown risks and their characteristics, and associated environment; iii. Identifying and assessing supply chain risk factors, disruptions and variabilities; iv. Analyzing impacts of supply chain risk factors, disruptions and variabilities; v. Causes and sources behind supply chain risks, disruptions and variabilities; vi. Resilience strategies to manage the impacts of supply chain risks, disruptions and variabilities; vii. Methodologies for developing long-term recovery plans; viii. Models and tools for supply chain risk and disruption management; ix. Emergent technologies for supply chain risk and disruption management; x. Emergent business models for future supply chain risk management; xi. Real-life case studies on supply chain risk and disruption management; xii. Implementation and management approaches of supply chain risk and disruption management; xiii. Impacts of resilience strategies on supply chain sustainability practices; xiv. Identifying and analyzing barrier s for implementation of risk and disruption management tools and techniques and strategies to overcome those; xv. Managerial and practical implications of implementing tools and techniques for sup ply chain risk and disruption management; xvi. Supply chain risk and disruption management in future.The book will contribute significantly to the growing body of knowledge concerning the theory of managing supply chains risk and disruption. It will also address the key debates in the risk and disruption supply chain literature and where is the field taking organisations and societies.
