Abstract

Uncertainty and risk have become increasingly salient constructs as global challenges, like COVID-19, geopolitical tensions, and climate change, recast the operating environment of many firms. Addressing these new sources of uncertainty and risk has required organizations to develop novel approaches to solving their operational problems, with concomitant opportunities for operations and supply chain management (OSCM) theory testing and elaboration as well as nascent theory development. This special issue seeks empirically grounded papers that capture how OSCM theory and models can aid organizations in their efforts to address different forms of uncertainty (known, knowable, and unknowable unknowns), and associated risks and opportunities.
