Publisher's Synopsis
In the past 30 years, more companies have begun to develop sourcing and purchasing initiatives in foreign markets. Additionally, U.S.-based export sales have grown to their highest levels. What this growth means is increased exposures. Tied into this increase is a general lack of experience for those executives engaged in global trade with understanding international and supply chain risks and providing cost-effective solutions to their companies benefit.
This book outlines all the critical issues in understanding global risk management and establishes a workable structure, outline, and action plan for corporate executives as a blueprint to follow.
The primary deliverables of the book are:
- Comprehension of the risks in global supply chains
- Enterprise solutions
- Cost-effective, functional, and hands-on skill set development to manage risk, insurance, and loss control in international operations, purchasing, and sales
- Addressing the increasing concerns over global security and cybersecurity
- Business people need to understand the psychology of risk more than the mathematics of risk.
