Issue publication date: 22 March 2018
The purpose of this paper is to review the extant literature on supply chain risk management (SCRM, including risk identification, assessment, treatment, and monitoring), developing a comprehensive definition and conceptual framework; to evaluate prior theory use; and to identify future research directions.
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review of 354 articles (published 2000-2016) based on descriptive, thematic, and content analysis.
There has been a considerable focus on identifying risk types and proposing risk mitigation strategies. Research has emphasised organisational responses to supply chain risks and made only limited use of theory. Ten key future research directions are identified.
Research limitations/implications
A broad, contemporary understanding of SCRM is provided; and a new, comprehensive definition is presented covering the process, pathway, and objectives of SCRM, leading to a conceptual framework. The research agenda guides future work towards maturation of the discipline.
Practical implications
Managers are encouraged to adopt a holistic approach to SCRM. Guidance is provided on how to select appropriate risk treatment actions according to the probability and impact of a risk.
Originality/value
The first review to consider theory use in SCRM research and to use four SCRM stages to structure the review.
- Supply chain risk
- Risk management
- Supply chain risk management (SCRM)
- Systematic literature review (SLR)

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is an innovative way of improving organizations' production methods by using new technologies that revolutionize the Supply Chain (SC). Traditionally, SC managers focused on simple tasks such as delivering products to customers and assuring that a company maintains a sufficient supply of raw materials to sustain ongoing operations. However, with the fast progress in logistics, SC Management (SCM) has become a complicated process involving forecasting demands, establishing lucrative partnerships, and optimizing business performance. To overcome this challenge, Smart Supply Chain Management (SSCM) uses several technologies such as Big Data (BD), the Internet of things (IoT), Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Advanced Robotics (AR) to analyze data, and identifies trends and opportunities in the market that enhance the effectiveness of logistics, whether inside or outside of the company. This paper examines the available literature on SSCM. It aims to assess the impact of new technologies on SSCM.

Supply chain risk management (SCRM) has evolved into an interdisciplinary research field where management, mathematics, information science, and engineering scholars, inter alia, investigate. the complexities of different scenarios in supply chain to reduce supply chain vulnerability or increase supply chain resilience.
4 Why Risk Management in Supply Chains. A supply chain is a complex network of upstream (supplier) and downstream (customer) flow of information, service, products, materials, and finance (Jüttner, 2005; Mentzer et al., 2001 ). Therefore, Supply chain management is the coordination of these interdependent activities.
This paper is typically a literature review paper. The author has made an attempt to study almost all of the available resources on Supply Chain Management (SCM) under Covid-19 and to provide a comprehensive picture of the subject. For this purpose, in the following, the effects of the virus on supply chains are addressed.
the existing literature on risk factors in supply chain management in an uncertain and competitive business environment. Papers that contained the word "risk" in their titles, keywords, or abstracts were selected for conducting the theoretical analyses. Supply chain risk management is an integral function of the supply network.

In this paper, we first provide a historical review of how the article originated and the contributions the article made to both the theory and practice of supply chain management (SCM). Next, we highlight the key market and technological changes that have emerged in SCM followed by how the theory proposed in the 2001 article can still be ...
International trade leads to global supply chains, and risks are inherent in supply chain management (SCM). Globalization and trade openness have amplified the vulnerability in SCM and increased the risks. The monetary value of supply chain expenses is the highest in manufacturing organizations (Dey et al. 2011).
However, a structured review of risk impact on performance in supply chains is still lacking. Such a review is useful because the literature implies that maintaining and improving performance in risk environments are critically important to the business survival of firms in supply chains. Design/methodology/approach: This review synthesizes and ...
Supply chain management (SCM), which generally refers to horizontal integration management, has steadily become the core competitiveness of company rivalry and an essential approach to developing national comprehensive and national strength since the end of the 20th century due to the numerous needs arising from a competitive international economy.

The sports service supply chain faces various potential risks, such as market fluctuations, logistics issues, and partner uncertainties. To address these risks effectively, this study employs a combination of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) methods and intelligent neural networks to create an innovative risk management framework. By considering diverse uncertainties and leveraging the ...
The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the literature on SSCM and to highlight some future directions for researchers interested in the field. This paper is structured as follows: the next section (Sect. 2) presents I4.0 and its role in SCM. Section 3 details the literature review.
Therefore, every quality SCM risk management initiative must begin with an in-depth analysis of potential disruptions and areas of risk that span the supply chain. As previously discussed, this might include the assessment of individual supply chain suppliers as well as market demand volatility and larger geopolitical matters.
