In today's world, shaped by globalization, supply chains typically consist of a series of internationally interacting and interconnected participants. Alongside the increasing international division of labor and the resulting cost advantages for companies, there are also significant risks that should not be underestimated. In addition to external events such as terrorism, epidemics, and natural disasters, internal disruptions also impact the business operations of supply chains. Research has produced a number of frameworks and best practices that are helpful for identifying risks, mitigating their consequences, and drawing conclusions from the risks. This risk management along the supply chain is further supported by various techniques, methods, and IT systems that are continuously evolving.
