Handfield and McCormack, both affiliated with North Carolina State University, collect readings from leading academics and practitioners in the field of risk management. These insights shed
light on the organizational implications for risk management, the impact of disruptions on supply chains, management models for contingency planning around risk, and analytical models that can
be used to derive and challenge current thinking on how to manage risk in supply chains. Case studies involve an automotive supplier for a large North American heavy truck manufacturer, and a
large medical devices firm implementing a supply risk management program with a risk portfolio approach. A glossary is included. The book is distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis.
