This thesis is designed to explore the extent of concern of companies about Supply Chain Risk
Management (SCRM) and the most common supply chain risks that companies have to face
expanding into Latin America. Also, the most important factors to consider before entering to
Latin America; for this reason, I want to know to what extent multinational companies that are
now trading in Latin America understand, monitor, control and manage their supply chains risks;
besides, how they have improved their transportation and logistics standards in this region. There
are key literature review used that can vary in their definitions of the most important terms. Pires
& Carretero (2007) suggest that supply chain management (SCM) is a contemporary area that
has more than one source; but at the same time, as a focal point in the expansion of other
traditional areas of business management such as production, logistics, marketing and
purchasing. In addition, the risks can be classified in the internal supply chain risks that occur
during the normal course of operations of the companies; and external risks, mainly come from
the environment where companies operate (Jüttner, Peck, & Christopher, 2003) (Paulsson, 2007)
(Waters, 2007). Through in-depth interviews with Peruvian companies, responses were collected
and evaluated to determine the awareness and understanding of risk management in their supply chains, with a specific focus on technology industry. The findings of this research will provide
insights about the experience and awareness on risk management of companies trading in Peru.
Finally, there are important research limitations such as the sample size because probably cannot
be a good representation or the methodology for data collection.
