Abstract
Supply chain risk has recently gained considerable attention. This is mainly due to the fact that the more complex the relationships among the nodes of the supply network, the more prone modern global supply chains are to disruptions. Although it is not a brand new problem, these days, due to higher competitiveness levels in the economic context and increased interconnections between businesses, companies are affected by a wider exposure to risk sources than before (Sheffi, 2005). Despite increasing awareness of this topic among both academics and practitioners, most of the existing research has addressed the sources of risk in the supply chain from a general perspective (Blackhurst et al., 2005) while few systematic approaches for their evaluation are actually available.
