Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to verify a transport uncertainty triad model taking a supply chain perspective, and determine which different forms of uncertainty impact on transport operations. The aim is to qualitatively evaluate the different types of uncertainty impacting on...

Purpose – This paper aims to add a cultural‐relational dimension to the supply chain risk management (SCRM) literature. Design/methodology/approach – Inter‐firm learning and cultural adaptation literatures are reviewed, missing themes identified and a conceptual model proposed. Findings...

Purpose – This paper examines supply chain risk management (SCRM) from a holistic systems thinking perspective by considering the different typologies that have evolved as a result of earlier research. The purpose of this paper is to identify important strategic changes in the field and to...

The telecommunications industry is characterized by short product life cycles, driven by rapid market development and sometimes by new technologies emerging from internal and external research and design activities. These innovations cause product changes ranging from cosmetic, such as...

The paper begins with an overview of some of the forces that have shaped supply chain management and partnership relationships. Next the potential benefits and risks of involvement in supply chain management/partnership relationships are discussed from the perspective of both the shipper and the...

Purpose – As global supply networks proliferate, the strategic significance of supply chain risk management (SCRM) – defined as the identification, evaluation, and management of supply chain-related risks to reduce overall supply chain vulnerability – also increases. Yet, despite...

Purpose – Supply chain stakeholders may perceive security risks differently and thereby misalign mitigation strategies. Hence, causing weak spots in supply chains and thereby disruptions. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether supply chain companies actually perceive security risks...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for identifying and managing supply quality risk (SQR). Design/methodology/approach The research method began with a literature study to form a grounded model of how organizations identify and perceive SQR and associate various supplier...

Purpose – From a synthesis of literature, the purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual risk management framework, showing the effect of logistics outsourcing on the supply chain vulnerability (SCV) of shippers. The framework is designed to assist practitioners and academics in better...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the knowledge existing in the literature on supply chain resilience for identifying the supply chain practices adopted for securing resilience in given uncertain event. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review is conducted to...
