Organizational principles and responsibility
Previously, risk management was handled by a corporate function, mostly dealing
with insurance companies (and later also security). In the last few years the
organisation for supply chain risk management has been developed and many people
and functions are involved. On a high level, the corporate function for risk
management, the SCM/logistics function (in Ericsson called the core unit supply) and
the purchasing function (core unit sourcing) are involved, as well as (Figure 4) the units
responsible for the different business areas (SBAs)
