摘要

Recent world events have propelled the topics of supply chain security and risk management to the forefront of concern for executives and managers in many supply chain domains. Increased awareness of the vulnerability of modern supply chains to disruption from terrorism, pandemics, hurricanes, earthquakes, labor strikes, military action, economic crises, failures of information technology, maritime piracy, political upheaval, cargo theft, counterfeit goods production, and other causes has underscored the need for firms to develop systematic methods for vulnerability assessment, incident prevention, mitigation, and recovery. Managing Risk and Security seeks to support such efforts by providing logistics service providers and their supply chain partners with focused guidance, conceptual frameworks, and analytical models that will assist them in creating better-secured and more resilient logistics networks.
