Proactive risk mitigation strategies and supply chain risk management performance: an empirical analysis for manufacturing firms in Turkey

Abstract

PurposeIn spite of its potential benefits in a wide range of situations, supply chain risk mitigation strategies have received scant attention on the subject of managing the supply chain risk in the business environment. Especially, there is still a limited understanding of the importance of firms’ supply chain flexibility, resilience and responsiveness in the supply chain risk management (SCRM) literature. This research focuses on exploring the relationship between significant proactive risk mitigation strategies, namely supply chain (SC) flexibility, resilience and responsiveness, as well as SCRM performance to facilitate bridging the gap between mitigation strategies and SCRM performance. The moderating role of risk management (RM) culture was also hypothesized and tested.Design/methodology/approachA survey-based methodology is adopted. The data are analyzed using the technique of partial least squares.FindingsThe results indicate that SC resilience and responsiveness are positively associated with SCRM performance; however, SC flexibility does not. In addition, interestingly, RM culture does not moderate these relationships in spite of the extant literature. We argue that this could be due to the fact that risk management culture is at the beginning stage for an enterprise in Turkey.Originality/valueThis study extends the existing literature by advancing the knowledge on the relationship between proactive risk management strategies, which applied to overcome uncertainties and SCRM performance.

A Novel Taxonomy for Risks in Agribusiness Supply Chains: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Although risk has uncertain consequences, which may not be economically beneficial [47], cause difficulties or loss, affect wellbeing [77] and be unavoidable, the risk itself is something that can be managed [93]. Since risk has been understood as "measurable uncertainty" [89], many researchers from different disciplines have developed methods and analysis tools to measure risk in their field of study [37,[94][95][96][97]. In the agricultural sector, for instance, farmers' risk preferences have been measured in the European agricultural context [98]; RADARSAT-2 is being used to monitor soil moisture to support risk reduction for the agriculture sector [99]; a TAMSAT-ALERT system is providing early warnings on meteorological risk to agriculture [100]; satellite-based meteorological and agricultural drought monitoring is available for agricultural sustainability in Sri Lanka [101]; and there are new perspectives on measurement, modelling, development and policies related to the income of farm families in Europe, especially in the light of increasing complexity of farms and policies on risk exposure [102].…”

The Influence of the Antecedents of SCQRM Implementation on Organizational Performance with the Moderating Role of Organizational Culture in the Indonesian Navy

“…The findings of this study are SD and PPR significantly contribute to financial performance and quality performance. Saglam et al, (2020) stated that the effective implementation of SCRM has a positive and significant impact on firm performance. This is due to the interconnection of companies, the failure of a firm not only affects its performance but also affects the performance of partner companies, and makes supply chain members very vulnerable to risk.…”

“…The items for control mechanisms were adopted by Li et al, (2008), Li, Xie, et al, (2010), andTse et al, (2019). Moreover, the RM culture was adopted by Li et al, (2015), Kurniawan et al, (2017), andFan et al (2017), Saglam et al, (2020), and Li et al, (2020), and the Culture of Competitiveness was adopted Hult et al, Vol.21, No.1, April 2021 (2002), Fantazy dan Ahmad, (2019). The SCQRM implementation was adopted by Tse et al, (2019) and the items for organizational performance were adopted by Quang et al, (2016), Soares et al, (2017), Phan et al, (2019, and Tse et al, (2019).…”

“…The literature has recently seen an increase in interest among scholars toward understanding the impact of quality risk and how to better manage quality risk in the supply chain (Ho et al, 2015;Kumar et al, 2018;Chen, 2018;Tse et al, 2019;Dellana, et al, 2019;Kros et al, 2019;Ganguly 2019;Prashar and Aggarwal, 2019;Quang and Hara, 2019;Ramesh and Sarmah, 2020;Ahmed and Rashdi, 2020;Saglam et al, 2020;Huma et al, 2020). Our study considers quality risk management efforts about risk-based…”

Research on Supply Chain Network Resilience Considering the Exit and Reselection of Enterprises

“…In order to design a resilient SCN, many scholars have conducted studies from multiple perspectives, such as risk management [28]- [32], control theory [33]- [37], and mathematical modeling and simulation [38]- [42]. In addition, many researchers have studied SCN resilience from the perspective of complex networks [43]- [50], because it is a simple and effective method that can capture the structural characteristics of an SCN, thus contributing to the construction of a resilient SCN.…”
