Examining a certain risk will provide an insight into a single dimension, but a picture of different risks in the supply chain (SC) is still lacking, as risks do not take place independently, but typically simultaneously. This research aims to propose and validate a conceptual framework for linking various dimensions of risks to system performance in the SC. To this end, first, risks in supply network were identified by applying SC mapping -a new approach in SC risk body of literature. Then the theoretical conceptual framework comprising a holistic set of SC risks was proposed. In this model, risks were classified into three categories with regard to their level of impact on performance, i.e. core risks (supply, operational and demand risks), infrastructure risks (finance, information and time risks) and external risk. Empirical evidence at Vietnam construction industry showed that a total of nine SC risks were established. Accordingly, there are two new concepts formed from operational risk, namely (1) investor-related operational risks and (2) contractor-related operational risks. External risk moreover was split into two new dimensions: (1) human-made risks and (2) natural risks. Except for relationships between demand risk & SC performance and between SC risks & financial performance, these risks have mutual interaction and detrimentally affect SC performance. Using this framework, companies will have a systematic view of risks in the whole SC network whereby they can define risks in their own context and ascertain critical SC risks that cause negative effects on SC performance. Moreover, this framework can be used as a 'guidemap' in an effort to mitigate SC risks.
