Supply Chain Risk »

Fourteen academics from the UK, U.S. and Scandinavia—all members of ISCRIM, an international research network focusing on risk and the supply chain—contribute 12 chapters based on their research of the past five years on the risk management challenges faced by 21st century organizations. Coverage includes in-depth discussion of the conceptual issues in the field, followed by case studies on the UK construction industry, early supplier involvement as a tool for reducing risk, marine transport of packaged dangerous goods, shipper's and provider's perspectives on risks, and supply continuity.
