This paper looks at the twin corporate challenges of preparing to deal with the aftermath of terrorist attacks, and operating under heightened security. The first challenge involves setting certain operational redundancies. The second means less reliable lead times and less certain demand scenarios. In addition, the paper looks at how companies should organize to meet those challenges efficiently and suggests a new public-private partnership.
