The Power of Resilience: How the Best Companies Manage the Unexpected (Mit Press) Paperback – March 24, 2017

I work as a financial adviser and teach university classes for risk management and finance majors. I have used this book for class material and as recommendations for my clients. It is a fantastic book that breaks down every issue a company could possible encounter and a variety of solutions to said issues. It focuses mainly on supply chains but provides countless examples from many different industries for support. There are a few cons to this book. It is very repetitive. The material is all good however, it does become apparent that the narrative from chapter to chapter is cut and paste. There is some issue, it disrupts the supply chain, money is lost, a solution is created, the solution is still used today. This, the book starts to drag about halfway through. Another issue I have is in the way supplementary examples are provided. Sheffi kind of just machine guns examples at you without much order and it can be confusing or daunting to read all of them at once. Other than those small things this book is a masterpiece and a staple for anyone going into the corporate management world, risk management, finance, or accounting. Sheffi spells out exactly what large companies deal with day to day and enlightens readers on how to be better supply chain managers and better risk assessors.

I used this as a textbook for a supply chain risk course. A great book, gives real world examples of the theory. An easy read, highly recommended!

Excellent for anyone who want to understand major supply chain risks involving today’s highly globalized companies. I would recommend it definitely.

This book is quite an eye-opener. It takes the concepts and overlays them with compelling real world events to bring the whole thing home.

Great book!
