Do Perceptions Become Reality? The Moderating Role of Supply Chain Resiliency on Disruption Occurrence

Abstract

The concern and study of supply risk and supply continuity has recently come to the forefront in managing business and conducting research. This empirical study of U.S. and German firms investigates the relationship between perceived supply risk sources and supply disruption occurrence, as well as the use of supply chain resiliency practices to reduce disruption frequency. We demonstrate that supply managers' concerns with risk emanating from suppliers and the supply market are positively related to supply disruption occurrence. We further show how and when implementing flexibility and redundancy may reduce the effects of supply disruptions.

“…Tedarik zinciri risk yönetimi yazınında farklı sektörlerin risk kaynakları ve risk yönetimi faaliyetlerini inceleyen, sonuçları sektörler veya belirli bölgeler bazında genellenebilir çalışmaların sayısı çok azdır (Zsidisin ve Wagner, 2010;Behnezhad vd., 2013). Literatürdeki çalışmaları çeşitli özelliklerine göre inceleyen ikincil veriler üzerine kurulu çalışmalarda da bu durum açıkça görülmektedir (Rao ve Goldsby, 2009;Ghadge vd., 2012).…”

“…In the automotive industry risks that stem from the supply side contribute to SC disruptions to a higher degree than the demand side (Wagner and Neshat 2010). Similar to other studies (Chen, Xia and Wang 2010, Zsidisin and Wagner 2010, Zsidisin et al 2004) the inbound supply risks are the main research object.…”

“…There is plenty of research that did not assess the causality within their SCRM, Tummala & Schoenherr (2011), Zsidisin & Wagner (2010), Blackhurst, Scheibe & Johnson (2008), Manuj & Mentzer (2008), Stecke and Kumar (2007), Wu, Blackhurst & Chidambaram (2006), Chopra & Sodhi (2004). This is assumed to be due to the challenge to investigate the dependence of more than two variables.…”

“…In general, there is a higher risk when sourcing from suppliers in more distant locations from the company (Zsidisin and Wagner 2010). There is no general agreement on how to classify internal risks in the SC.…”

“…However, no general agreement exists on the risk typology because risks are not the same (Zsidisin and Wagner 2010) and vary across industries, companies and products. In the automotive industry risks that stem from the supply side contribute to SC disruptions to a higher degree than the demand side (Wagner and Neshat 2010).…”
