*Call for Book Chapters*

*Managing Supply Chain Risks: Strategies, Methods and Applications*



 *Editors:*

Yacob Khojasteh, Ph.D. (Sophia University, Japan)

Henry Xu, Ph.D. (University of Queensland, Australia)



*Publisher: *Springer



*Scope:*

Supply chains today are vulnerable to disruptions that may have a
significant impact on business performance of chain members. This was the
case in the Great East Japan Earthquake that hit the north-eastern parts of
Japan on March 11 in 2011 and disrupted both domestic and global supply
chains. The disruption was so severe that many companies and their part
suppliers were unable to deliver products at expected volumes for several
months. The major objective of this proposed book is to have an excellent
collection of book chapters from leading academics and scholars on
strategies, methods and applications for managing supply chain
risks. Particularly, chapters will cover strategies, frameworks, models,
analyses, applications and research findings that are essential for supply
chain risk management (SCRM). The book could be an essential source for
students and scholars who are interested in supply chain management. It
could also provide an informative read for managers and practitioners who
need to deepen their knowledge on SCRM.



*Topics covered: *

Potential topics related to managing supply chain risks include, but are
not limited to the following:

·     Supply chain vulnerability identification and evaluation

·     Supply chain vulnerability management and mitigation strategies

·     Strategies and practices in managing supply chain disruptions

·     Sourcing, inventory, and production strategies to manage supply
disruptions

·     Supply chain risk identification, analysis, and assessment

·     Supply chain risk measurement (validity and reliability)

·     Integrated risk management and risk mitigation methods (internal and
external)

·     Operational strategies for SCRM (supply, demand, process)

·     Optimization models and/or frameworks for SCRM

·     Service supply chain vulnerability assessment

·     Supply chain visibility, predictability, resiliency and sustainability

·     Designing and creating a resilient supply chain

·     Continuity of operations and recovery plans development

·     Role of knowledge management and information technology in SCRM

·     Case studies and industrial applications

·     Literature review (to provide theoretical insights based on review of
relevant literature)



*Submission:*

Interested contributors are invited to submit a 2-3 page chapter
proposal clearly
explaining the aims and objectives of the proposed chapter by *March 31**,
2020*.
