Supply Chain Risk Management is a comprehensive guide, shedding light on the intricate landscape of supply chain risk and the increasingly important role supply chains play as a buffer. John Manners-Bell illuminates newly emerged fragilities of global supply chains, how to identify and assess risks and how to develop and implement mitigation strategies, often based on new analytics and AI tools. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is responsible for business continuity.

Supply Chain Risk Management is a wake-up call for those 'risk-agnostic' organizations that need to immediately adopt a more pro-active approach with respect to risk prevention. Anchored in today's reality, the book covers a wide range of topics and includes new tools, techniques and metrics that can be used as an effective way to identify, assess, mitigate and manage risks.

Supply Chain Risk Management provides a deep dive into many of the world's largest multinational corporate agendas, both with an internal and external risk focus. John explores risks across production, manufacturing, logistics, technology and networks, in both micro and macroeconomic environments. The combination of John's highly regarded academic, research and theoretical strengths, combined with a long established international reputation as a hands on supply chain practitioner, make this book essential reading for those at all levels and areas of the global supply chain community.

Supply chain risk management has soared to the top of the corporate agenda since the beginning of the 2020s, as the pandemic opened top executives' eyes to supply chain vulnerabilities across all industries. Supply chain resilience is gaining traction as an essential goal, challenging decades of cost-optimization focus. This book brings together existing practice and new thinking, guiding supply chain design in an increasingly volatile and complex world.
