Global supply chains have become an essential component of modern retail operations, enabling retailers to source products from different regions, reduce costs, and offer a wide variety of goods to customers. However, increasing globalization has also exposed retail supply chains to several risks that can disrupt the smooth flow of products, information, and finances. Global supply chain risks refer to uncertainties and challenges arising from events such as natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, trade restrictions, economic instability, pandemics, supplier failures, and transportation disruptions. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and droughts can damage production facilities, disrupt transportation networks, and delay the delivery of goods. For example, a retailer dependent on a particular region for raw materials may face severe shortages if that area experiences a disaster. Similarly, trade wars and changes in government policies can increase tariffs, restrict imports, and create uncertainty in sourcing decisions. Shipping lane blockages or port congestion can significantly delay international transportation, increase logistics costs, and create inventory shortages. These disruptions can negatively affect customer satisfaction, sales performance, and the overall profitability of retailers. A resilient supply chain enables retailers to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from unexpected disruptions. Building resilience requires a combination of strategic planning, technology adoption, supplier management, and operational flexibility. One important strategy is supplier diversification. Retailers
