This textbook presents a coherent and robust structure for integrated
risk management in the context of operations and finance. It explains
how the operations-finance interface jointly optimizes material and
financial flows under intricate risk exposures. The book covers
financial flexibility, operational hedging, enterprise risk management
(ERM), supply chain risk management (SCRM), integrated risk management
(IRM), supply chain finance (SCF), and financial management of supply
chain strategies. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches -
including conceptualization, theory building, analytical modeling, and
empirical research - are used to assess the value creation by
integrating operations and finance.
