Economic and political instability (E) sounds right too. I feel like we covered that in relation to global markets, but I’m not sure about rapid product obsolescence.

I think industrial disputes and strikes (C) are a classic example of disruption. We went over a case study on that in class.

I'm a bit unsure about exchange rate volatility. It seems like it could impact costs, but is it really a disruption?

I remember we discussed how weather events and natural disasters can really disrupt supply chains, so I think A is definitely a source.

This is a good test of our understanding of global supply chain management. I'll need to carefully consider each option and make sure I select all the relevant sources of disruption.

Let's see, we got Mother Nature, fickle finance, worker woes, and planned obsolescence. Sounds like a recipe for a supply chain nightmare. Good thing I studied up on this stuff!

All of these options are spot on. When the weather, politics, and technology all decide to gang up on your supply chain, you know it's going to be a wild ride.

Whoa, looks like we got a real 'perfect storm' of potential supply chain disruptions here! Better keep an umbrella handy, just in case.
