Abstract: Financial crises are impacting companies and their supply chains in many ways. This paper aims to build upon knowledge about supply chain and inventory management threats and extend the knowledge to which extent they are connected to financial crises. While there are existing works exploring strategies of companies trying to build resilience against supply chain threats in general, literature about their connection to financial crises is still scarce - even more so in an emerging market context. Therefore, the present work is exploring the strategies of Ugandan businesses, operating in an emerging market context, on building resilience against threats arising in times of financial crisis. By building on other authors' works, a list of 18 sub-threats of financial crises has been identified within this research paper. Furthermore, the empirical research brought forward a list of 26 strategies applied by Ugandan businesses to build resilience against those sub-threats.
