The growing importance of adoption and implementation of supply chain strategies by integrating with information technology to achieve competitive advantage has been one of the most popular research topics during the last decade. The growth of the supply chain provides enormous opportunities for organizations to reduce costs and improve customer service, but this growth also paved way for the occurrence of many risks and uncertainty, such as natural calamities and workforce strikes. Identification of these risks and events and designing strategies to minimize them is an important challenge in front of researchers and business organizations. Practicing supply chain managers and several authors have recommended many strategies to mitigate these risks through the concept of Supply Chain Resilience (SCR); SCR deals with a firm's ability to adapt to unexpected events and how well they recover from disruptions. Organizations are attempting to build their SCR, though the number of research studies related to SCR and how to use specific supply chain (SC) practices and strategies to enhance SCR are limited. This book will identify innovative supply chain strategies, models, and frameworks to build competitive supply chains to achieve SCR.
The book offers a comprehensive guide on what SCR is, the sources of SC uncertainty, SC innovative strategies to enhance SCR, enablers to develop SCR abilities, and the relationship between SC strategies and SCR capabilities. Ideal for researchers, industry practitioners, academicians, researchers, students, and corporate executives practicing supply law, the book provides a much-needed look at supply chain risks and how SCR can be used to achieve a competitive edge and bounce back from unexpected disturbances.
