INFORMS Analytics Collections, the multimedia publication of INFORMS, is delighted to announce the publication of a new collection on the topic of "Analytics in a World of Disruptions".
The Editors of this collection are:
Lingxiu Dong (Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis)
Colin Kessinger (End-to-End Analytics, Accenture), and
Danko Turcic (A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management, University of California at Riverside).
A brief overview of the content of this collection is:
- Introduction
- Risk Identification and Assessment: Identifying and quantifying risks is the first step of a systematic approach to risk management.
- Buffering: Direct buffering includes investments in safety stock and production and supply chain redundancies, including multi-sourcing.
- Financial Hedging: Financial hedging includes financial buffers, for example, investments in financial contracts, as a protection against loss or failure due to price fluctuation.
- Contingency: Contingency planning is indirect (virtual) buffering, securing access to backup capacity only in the event of a disruption.
- Crisis Management and Insurance: Crisis management and insurance are the last line of defense that a firm employs to avoid a large default or total collapse.
