Question
Chapter 11.S, Problem 3DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the likelihood of choosing more suppliers increase or decrease when the probability of super-event risk decrease.
Introduction:
Unique-event Risk:
In unique-event risk, the disruption occurs to only one supplier. When such phenomenon occurs, one supplier can be chosen over other suppliers. Selection of more than one supplier is necessary to overcome unique-event risk.
Super-event Risk:
The disruption rate to suppliers is high in super-event risk because all suppliers are affected in super-event risk. Chances for occurrence of super-event risks are very low. However firms must make proactive arrangement to overcome super-event risks.

Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow. The Importance of the Planning Phase to Project Success. Traditional wisdom is that planning and analysis are very important and the more there is in a project, the more successful the project will be. Time spent on these activities will reduce risk and increase project success. On the other hand, inadequate analysis and planning will lead to a failed project. If poor planning has led to failed projects, then perhaps billions of dollars have been lost. But how much is too much? “Light weight” project management techniques such as agile are gaining popularity. Part of their ethos is that less initial planning is better and an evolutionary process is more efficient.
