Abstract: Recent supply chain disruptions have caused many company executives, practitioners, and researchers to show greater interests in developing better ways to manage supply chain risks. As an emerging area of practice and research, there are 3 major gaps in the development of supply chain risk management (SCRM) as a field. These 3 gaps are: definition gap (no consistent definition), process gap (no clear focus); and methodology gap (little analytical work). In this presentation, we present these 3 major gaps, solicit your views on these gaps, and exchange ideas for closing these 3 gaps. (This presentation is jointly prepared by ManMohan Sodhi and Christopher Tang.)
