Abstract

Supply chain risk management process (SCRMP) is being advanced as a systematic and structured approach for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring all risks arising from complex supply chains. However, while the literature deems it necessary to implement such a process as the solution to the increasing vulnerability companies face, there is a lack of empirical evidence on whether the process model can be implemented. This paper shows possible hindrances in the implementation of SCRMP for companies with global supply chains based on the findings of an in-depth case study. Our empirical findings indicate that the unavailability of information and lack of proper data management hinders the implementation of SCRMP in the context global supply chains.
