Abstract
Supply chain risks (SCRs) appear to be a major problem as unsettled economic environments. High volatility in supply and demand, coupled with rapid technological changes, and unforeseeable disturbances, are common issues these days (e.g. Barry, 2004; Christopher and Holweg 2011; Tang and Tomlin, 2008; Waters, 2007). Judging by the increased number of articles published in scientific journals and germane trade periodicals, supply chain risk management (SCRM) is an area of growing importance (Chopra and Sodhi, 2004; Trkman and McCormack, 2009; Wieland and Wallenburg, 2013).
