Supply chain risk management: a propagation scanning methodology

This paper presents work done in the area of supply chain risk propagation. The premise of the research is that although the critical path is the defining path for the completion of the supply process, there are other supply entities which link up
with the critical path to form the supply network. It is thus important to understand the supply system more holistically to get a view of risk propagation and the progressive impact. The study is qualitative in nature and presents a conceptual
framework for supply chain risk management using three interdisciplinary concepts: Incrementalism, Rational approach and Mixed Scanning.
