A Concept of Models for Supply Chain Speculative Risk Analysis and Management

There is a growing need for better understanding and handling of risk among decision-makers managing organisations cooperating in contemporary supply chains. The number of risks and their impact is growing, as supply chain members are becoming more and more interdependent, and their business environment is a source of many challenging situations. When it comes to risk analysis and management in the context of supply chain, it is worth to recognize which risk can bring negative or positive effect for a supply chain. In other words, successful risk analysis and management should consider its speculative nature. Due to a lack of concepts useful to analyse and manage speculative supply chain risk, the aim of this paper is to suggest a proper framework for such processes based on the literature review.
