“…SCRM is defined as an inter-organizational collaborative effort using quantitative and qualitative RM methodologies to identify, evaluate, mitigate and monitor if unexpected events or conditions could adversely affect any part of the SC [20], [21]. SC risk defines challenges linked to potential disturbances influencing SC partners that may directly influence the capacity of a company to operate, sell products, or offer customer services [22]. Effective SCRM relies on collaboration, and is the key to the general success of the SC [23].…”

The digital transformation changes the way how organizations exchange data in supply chains. Data traditionally shared, is enriched by detailed data sets captured by sensors in the production itself. In addition to the promised benefits, also new risks arise. Advanced data analytic approaches make it possible to extract knowledge from such data sets and thus increase the risk that competitive knowledge unintentionally spills over. From a knowledge management perspective, little attention is paid to such knowledge risks arising from data-centric collaborations. Hence, this paper has the goal to investigate knowledge risks in data-centric collaborations by conducting a structured literature review. Thereby, we focus on digital supply chains, as data-centric collaborations play a central role within them. Based on our review, we identify four characteristics of digital supply chains relevant for managing knowledge risks. Based on these characteristics, we present causes, risks and countermeasures from an organizational, technical and legal perspective.

Purpose – Changes are inevitable in risky and uncertain business environments of today’s volatile supply chains. The concept of flexibility originates from this need to mitigate the ill-effects of risks and uncertainty in supply chains. In this paper, an attempt is made to present an exhaustive review on supply chain flexibility (SCF) and its implementation to gain strategic advantages. Design/methodology/approach – A citation analysis method is employed in this paper to discuss, analyse and apprehend the conceptual, empirical, analytical and simulation studies done in this field. In this paper, about 110 papers on flexibility from many reputed journals are examined to study and assimilate various aspects of flexibility. Findings – SCF embraces a unified process-based view including the core processes such as procurement, sourcing, distribution and logistics and mitigates uncertainty or risks involved. The review helps to assimilate the key knowledge about relevant practices in SCF and helps to draw implementing strategies while offering managerial insight on the subject. Research limitations/implications – Citation and co-citation analysis is done to review the SCF literature. Efforts are made to investigate relevant papers from various journals regarding its ability to mitigate risk or aid in making strategic decision. The study, however, is limited to certain industries in the papers as per chosen approach here. The strategies described in here may further be verified by the researchers and practitioners pertaining to their study or industries focused. Practical implications – It provides managerial insight for practitioners on how to use flexibility within the firm and across supply chain while considering various trade-offs. Originality/value – This paper is unique as a review paper, as it encompasses various kinds of studies done on SCF from conceptual models to mathematical models. Further, it briefs with the current practices in industries/SC towards being flexible. It talks of various trade-offs in pursuit of flexibility and concludes while suggesting numerous research gaps and opening new dimensions for SCF research. It offers many managerial and academic implications.

“…Park et al say that to accomplish supply chain management activities that includes all transportation, storage, and information processing from the raw material stage to the point where the product reaches the final consumer, then cooperation and partnership is a must. Ogulin et al (2012) in their findings suggest that in this dynamic market companies should build informal coordination capabilities in-order to take advantage of time-sensitive market opportunities. Further added that the management of industry guidelines, regulation, connectivity, and relation alignment are significant antecedents for informal coordination of supply chain capabilities in business networks.…”

“…Developing a supply chain's competitive edge through the utilization of communication and knowledge sharing often involves the application of strategies, tools, approaches, capabilities and resources that facilitate the alignment, integration and consistency in the supply chain thus creating better supplier-customer relationship which lead to improve the efficiency in supply chain operations. "Communication includes the ways in which information is exchanged and shared between partners and the openness between partners in their exchanges of information" Ogulin et al (2012). Daft 1997 cited in Kelly (2000) added to the previous definition that information is exchanged and understood by two or more people with the intent to motivate or impact actions.…”

“…Technology use to be successful Ruey-Jer et al (2008) say there is a need to develop sufficient and appropriate IT capabilities to fit the external environment need, organization can effectively leverage IT capabilities to reinforce their channel processes and capabilities in international market, in turn, earn desired benefits. Ogulin et al (2012) Say that "process coordination of capabilities across organizational boundaries can contribute to cost-savings (Hewitt, 1994), standardization of services (Davenport, 2005), and faster total supply chain response times (Sydow and Staber, 2002)". Organizational communication is critical to effective management of an organization's purchasing practices, suppliercustomer operations and strategic alliances, dealing with processes requirement and ensuring smoothly production, etc.…”

In this highly volatile global economy, organizations need to deploy various levers to improve supply chain performance. Supply chain needs to be responsive and agile to changing market conditions. The objective of the supply chain is to have the right products and services in the right quantities, at the right place, at the right moment, produced with minimal cost with the required quality level. To facilitate that, communication is considered one of the key levers to its success. While traditional communication approaches improved supply chain performance, in this dynamic environment there are still significant gaps and few opportunities to innovate the communication process within the whole supply chain. The purpose of this article is to explore how organizations can improve the performance of the communication process within the whole supply chain through the application of hybrid strategies and tools. The research methodology was qualitative exploratory in nature to confirm the relevance of the research question, and to explore through extensive literature review different strategies and tools to be applied to improve communication in supply chain.Supply chain managers can potentially benefit from this research, this study contributes to communication process in the supply chain by going beyond the benefits and problems of communication process that occur in day-to-day operational communications. It adds a new perspective to fit the flexibility and agility exist in the market place by proposing the use of hybrid strategies and tools to improve connectivity, information exchange, knowledge sharing and relationship alignment in the networked supply chain.
