Future Directions in Supply
Chain Risk Management
e future of supply chain risk management (SCRM) promises to be excit-
ing, challenging, and surely a bit frightening. Something that we should

guard. e future will belong to those companies that not only embrace
risk but also understand how to anticipate and prepare for risk.
