“…Networks confer both benefits and risks on firms. Supply chain risk management studies have found that alternative value chain business models (e.g., outsourcing, leaning, offshoring, and use of just‐in‐time models) generate different network configurations; in turn, these network arrangements can generate different risk propagation mechanisms across a value chain, affecting the level of exposure of individual actors to cascading impacts (Bandaly, Satira, Kahyaoglu, & Shanker, ; Otto, Willner, Wenz, Frieler, & Levermann, ; Punter, ; Scheibe & Blackhurst, Simchi‐Levi, Schmidt, & Wei, ). The type of relationship between two actors can influence whether risk will be transferred or absorbed by either one, or whether the risk will be shared.…”
