The inhibitors of risk information sharing in the supply chain: A multiple case study in Turkey

Abstract

One of the greatest threats faced by organizations is disruption in the supply chain arising from not sharing risk information among the supply chain partners. The aim of this study is to identify the inhibitors of risk information sharing in a supply chain by using practical-side evidence. An exploratory multiple case design was utilized to investigate why supply chain partners in Turkey may be reluctant to share risk information among their members and provide solutions to overcome these barriers. The results of the study indicate that the inhibitors of risk information sharing fall into three categories: risk-related, organization-related, and management-related. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate possible solutions for reluctance in risk information sharing among supply chain partners based on managers' experiences.

According to Rachapila and Jansirisak [2], farmers who cultivated sweet corn using the integrator system had an insufficient relationship in information sharing, collaboration planning, trust, and commitment.…”

Mapping the landscape of organizational theories for future research themes in supply chain risk management

“…Thus, the critical factors that affect the adoption of the SCRM can be found. Because SCRM is the intersection field of supply chain management and risk management (Can Saglam et al, 2020), risk management and supply chain management literature can be specifically examined to find different APJBA 15,4 antecedents of the SCRM. Lastly, as indicated in the part on limitations, not all factors affecting the adoption of the SCRM were addressed in this study.…”

“…They asserted that risk management endeavors to address all three dimensions of the construct of risk via analyzing the sources, striving to comprehend the drivers, and how these may be managed to enhance the chances of positive outcomes. Risk management has a critical position in the international activities of organizations (Can Saglam et al. , 2020).…”

“…Many researchers (e.g. De Oliveira et al, 2017;Khojasteh-Ghamari and Irohara, 2018;Shahbaz et al, 2019;Can Saglam et al, 2020) describe the concept of SCRM as the intersection of risk management and supply chain management. Accordingly, it becomes obligatory to depict these two concepts explicitly.…”
