While globalization has enabled firms to become highly cost efficient, it has also exposed firms to increasing risk. Recently, the risks associated with managing global supply chains have become a significant issue for firms. Global supply chains are more exposed to “disruptions” caused by extreme weather and geo-political problems in distant parts of the world. Customers are also increasingly holding global brands responsible for the actions of far-flung suppliers. Firms also face “quality risks” from contaminated inputs or other problems that can, for example, lead to costly product recalls.

尽管全球化使公司能够提高成本效率，但它还使公司暴露了风险。最近，与管理全球供应链有关的风险已成为公司的重要问题。全球供应链更容易受到世界各地的极端天气和地缘政治问题造成的“破坏”。客户还越来越多地拥有负责遥远供应商行动的全球品牌。公司还面临受污染的投入或其他可能导致昂贵产品召回的问题的“质量风险”。
