尽管在鉴别可能发生的风险时会存在诸多可能性,人们仍需研发出一套风险矩阵来指导风险评估。后工业化的、全球联通的经济时代的到来为我们带来了诸多好处——空前繁荣的国际贸易,低配送成本的消费品精益供应链以及诸多发展中国家人民生活水平的提高。伴随着这些进步,这种相互依赖的全球经济会更灵敏的反应灾难性事件。全球经济的中心是一系列为人们提供必要物品相互联系的供应链。 Although there are many possibilities for identifying potential risks, one risk matrix needs to be developed to guide risk assessment. The arrival of a post-industrialized, globally connected economic era has brought us many benefits: unprecedented prosperity in international trade, the lean supply chain for consumer goods with low distribution costs, and improved living standards in many developing countries. Accompanied by these advances, this interdependent global economy responds more sensitively to disastrous events. The center of the global economy is a series of supply chains that provide people with the necessary items to connect with each other.
