Supply Chain Risk - the dark side of supply chain management

What is Supply Chain Rrisk? Supply Chains are exposed to a variety of risks that are unique to each supply chain. These risks are related to actions and events that are inside and outside of the supply chain. Supply Chain Risk Analysis seeks to identify these risks, their sources and drivers, and their impact on the supply chain. Supply Chain Risk Management seeks to establish mitigative and contingent strategies for how to deal with the identified risks and their potential impact on the supply chain.

My first lecture in supply chain risk

“Supply Chain Risk – the dark side of supply chain management” is a guest lecture I gave at Molde University College in Molde, Norway, in November 2008. Hopefully it can be of use to both students at practitioners alike. The updated and revised version of the lecture I gave in November 2009 can found in this post on supply chain risk. Another update is planned for the November 2010 version of my lecture on supply chain risk.
