“…Data for this study comes from interviews with supply chain managers in three tiers of the supply chain and follows guidelines outlined by Eisenhardt (1989), Yin (1994) and Strauss and Corbin (1998). Our study uses the theoretical lens of systemic risk and normal accident theory to gain deeper insights into the data by allowing these theories to help guide the data collection and analysis (Locke 1996;Strauss and Corbin 1998).…”

“…NAT has not been widely employed in the supply chain disruption literature but can help to understand supply chain disruptions and their propagation (Speier et al 2011). NAT is based on complex and tightly coupled systems (Perrow 1981;1984;1994;1999), and is complementary to systemic risk in helping us to understand disruption prorogation.…”

“…We targeted large and mid-sized manufacturing firms in a variety of industries in order to collect data in such a way to allow theoretical sampling to allow us to explore the concept of supply chain disruption propagation (Strauss and Corbin 1998;Locke and Golden-Biddle 1997;Langley 1999;O'Reilly et al 2012). Firms were chosen based on the following criteria: (1) they were all part of well-established global supply chains; (2) they had acknowledged supply chain disruptions with their partner firms also selected for this study; and (3) they represented different product and customer characteristics.…”

“…Specifically, we examine the factors that affect supply chain disruption propagation. We take a qualitative case study approach (Glaser and Strauss 1967;Strauss and Corbin 1998) and use a grounded theory method. We collected data on seven supply chains to inform our understanding of what drives the propagation of supply chain disruptions.…”

When a disruption occurs in a firm, its effects are often felt throughout the supply chain. As supply chains expand globally and companies pursue velocity and efficiency, the probability of disruptions propagating throughout a chain grows. In this paper, we employ a qualitative, grounded theory case study approach to help understand what drives supply chain disruption propagation and to provide theoretical insights into this emerging area. For a more complete perspective, we study three interconnected tiers in seven unique supply chains. Each supply chain triad consists of (1) a focal firm (a manufacturer), (2) a supplier to the focal firm and (3) a customer of the focal firm allowing us to gain perspective from three levels in multiple supply chains. Three aggregate dimensions are defined which help explain the propagation of supply chain disruptions: the nature of the disruption, structure and dependence, and managerial decision-making. Within these dimensions, six themes are identified giving an increased level of granularity into disruption propagation: correlation of risk, compounding effects, cyclical linkages, counterparty risk, herding and misaligned incentives. Organisations should consider these themes and their interactions to effectively deal with supply chain disruptions.

The supply chain risk management literature highlights the importance of ex‐ante identification and assessment of risks to ensure continuity of firms, in particular, and the high performance of supply chains in which they operate, in general. Supply chain disruptions are harmful and costly for firms. The risk of such disruptions can be particularly consequential for firms in emerging industries that lack resources and for which dominant organizational and supply chain designs do not yet exist. Within local and regional food supply chains, food hubs are nascent enterprises coordinating these supply chains. Building off the existing supply chain risk management literature, this study identifies and assesses the perceived supply chain risks faced by U.S. food hubs. The study employs an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design and the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis methodology for this purpose. The results show risks related to imbalances in food supply and demand, logistical delays, human resources, and infrastructure capacity limitations were perceived to be the highest priority supply chain risks for the U.S. food hubs before the COVID‐19 pandemic. The study further provides insights on association between food hub characteristics and risk, as well as association between risk preferences and risk perceptions of food hub managers [EconLit Citations: L29 Other (Firm Supply Chain Risk Management)].

Indicators and countermeasures of modern slavery in global supply chains: Pathway to a social supply chain management framework

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Even though global supply chains are (usually unintentionally) tied to slave labor, research and practice have largely ignored the issue. This is expected to change as civil society activism and new legislation increase the risk of litigation and reputational damage to supply chain partners. To deal with and combat modern slavery in the supply chain, a theory inspired social supply chain management framework consisting of indicators and countermeasures of modern slavery in the supply chain is developed. The framework is refined in a qualitative expert interview study. The theoretical framework is then evaluated by a multimethod empirical analysis that includes a multicase study based on publicly available supply chain data from 6000 media articles and company websites as well as a quantitative empirical study based on survey data from 280 corporate sustainability experts operating in global supply networks. The results show that economic, political-legal, social, and environmental factors have a significant impact on contemporary slavery in the supply chain. The study also motivates supply chain partners to use preventative and detective measures to reduce the probability of encountering modern slavery actions in their supply chain. Theoretical and managerial implications are drawn from the findings, pointing to a holistic approach to combatting modern slavery in the supply chain.
