Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supply chain disruptions are increasingly affecting corporate earnings and operating risks. Risks include the possibility that some parts of the supply chain, including labor availability, chip shortages, and transportation, require an extended period to resolve, or that inflation is permanently higher. As these supply chain disruptions become the new norm, corporations need to find ways to protect themselves from the increased operational risks. In the Economist Impact 2021 survey of senior corporate treasurers, 27% of respondents said that supply-chain disruptions are the biggest concern, and this “stems from the need to continually reconfigure supply chains in response to ongoing pandemic-related disruptions”. Additionally, companies are receiving pushback regarding their suppliers, be this related to climate change issues, fair trade, or CSR. Corporations cannot risk aligning themselves with supply chain partners that do not hold the same environmental or corporate social responsibility beliefs.
The financial implications of supply chain risks are still understudied. In this Special Issue, we are looking for papers that cover corporate decisions and supply chain risks, including but not limited to:
- Supply chain strategies to deal with overall economic risk;
- Ways to manage risk in global supply chains and strengthen ties with supply chain partners;
- The role of climate change and the environment in supply chain risk;
- The role of corporate social responsibility in supply chain risk;
- Information asymmetry and supply chain risk;
- Regulatory compliance risk.
