Risk Management in the Global Supply Chain (Purchasing Strategies in Crisis Times)
Today, when international trade is accelerating with digital transformation, the supply chain forms the basis for every link of the global economic system. Tensions that may occur in each link may be reflected in the supply chain, even if they are on different issues. For example, restricting the distribution of raw materials due to escalating political tension between two countries may cause global trade through this energy to become more expensive and make products and services more difficult to access in the supply chain, from raw material imports to the end user.

Businesses and supply chain leaders with strong risk management are one step ahead in overcoming problems and maintaining and increasing their overall performance. In businesses that can strategically maintain risk management, employee motivation and therefore internal reputation increases.
