RIZIK I ADAPTIBILNOST LANCA SNABDEVANJA
Predmet istraživanja u radu su različita shvatanja termina lanac snabdevanja kao i različiti događaji koji su povećali rizik koji utiče na njegovu ranjivost i izazivaju njegove prekide. Rad je zasnovan na saznanjima iz izvesnog broja važnih akademskih radova kao i na istraživanjima na osnovu Interneta. Cilj rada je da se analiziraju poslovne implikacije povremenih poremećaja na kompanije i njihove lance snabdevanja kao i da se prezentiraju mogućnosti za povećanje adaptibilnosti lanaca snabdevanja kako bi se smanjila njihova ranjivost na sve vrste potencijalnih pretnji.
