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.

虽然全球化使公司能够提高成本效益，但也使公司面临越来越大的风险。最近，与管理全球供应链相关的风险已成为企业面临的一个重大问题。全球供应链更容易受到世界偏远地区极端天气和地缘政治问题造成的“中断”的影响。消费者也越来越多地要求全球品牌对遥远的供应商的行为负责。企业还面临着来自污染投入或其他问题的“质量风险”，这些问题可能导致昂贵的产品召回。
