A comprehensive, one-stop reference for cutting-edge research in
integrated risk management, modern applications, and best practices
In the field of business, the ever-growing dependency on global supply
chains has created new challenges that traditional risk management must
be equipped to handle. Handbook of Integrated Risk Management in Global
Supply Chains uses a multi-disciplinary approach to present an
effective way to manage complex, diverse, and interconnected global
supply chain risks.
Contributions from leading academics and researchers provide an
action-based framework that captures real issues, implementation
challenges, and concepts emerging from industry studies.The handbook is
divided into five parts:
- Foundations and Overview introduces risk management and discusses
the impact of supply chain disruptions on corporate performance
- Integrated Risk Management: Operations and Finance Interface
explores the joint use of operational and financial hedging of
commodity price uncertainties
- Supply Chain Finance discusses financing alternatives and the role
of financial services in procurement contracts; inventory management
and capital structure; and bank financing of inventories
- Operational Risk Management Strategies outlines supply risks and
challenges in decentralized supply chains, such as competition and
misalignment of incentives between buyers and suppliers
- Industrial Applications presents examples and case studies that
showcase the discussed methodologies
Each topic's presentation includes an introduction, key theories,
formulas, and applications. Discussions conclude with a summary of the
main concepts, a real-world example, and professional insights into
common challenges and best practices.
Handbook of Integrated Risk Management in Global Supply Chains is an
essential reference for academics and practitioners in the areas of
supply chain management, global logistics, management science, and
industrial engineering who gather, analyze, and draw results from data.
The handbook is also a suitable supplement for operations research, risk
management, and financial engineering courses at the upper-undergraduate
and graduate levels.
