AmCham-China, Tianjin Chapter and
Rutgers University EMBA Beijing Program Present:
Managing Risks in Global Supply Chains
11:30 AM - 1:30 PM, Friday, March 5 – Hotel Nikko Tianjin

AmCham-China, Tianjin Chapter in cooperation with Rutgers University presents an informative and topical briefing on how to manage today’s global supply chains. This lecture will identify the risks in extended supply chains and suggest potential strategies for managing the risks.

As global competition minimizes the role of national boundaries supply chains have become more complex.  With increased complexities come increased risks.  Risks for which most companies are unprepared.  According to a survey by McKinsey and Company, most executives say supply chain complexity comes with added risks. McKinsey: “The executives most likely to say that their company's level of risk has risen are those in retailing, manufacturing, and energy ... professional-services executives are the least likely to have seen an increase in risk, but even there, nearly half have done so. Executives at all levels share the view that risk is on the rise. “

Speaker:
Gordon Smouther is an Adjunct Professor at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA.  Professor Smouther has taught in the Supply Chain Management Department for 10 years and in the Rutgers Executive MBA program for the past four years.
