Background

Organizational failure in food markets is a potential threat to food security. Thus, a greater understanding of the factors that influence organizational failure and reduce supply chain resilience is essential to underpin agile and dynamic food supply chains.

Scope and approach

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of system level factors that influence organizational failure in food supply chains in order to conceptualize the horizontal and vertical interaction of such factors at the three levels described: the micro system, the meso system and the macro system level. A systematic review, based on a specific search strategy, incorporated articles from the fields of management, business and economics research. Whilst 616 articles were initially identified, only 41 of these were within the established inclusion criteria and reviewed. A model of organizational failure, determined here as “The House of Cards Model”, is developed, that can then be empirically tested in further research.

Key findings and conclusions

A hierarchy was developed to contextualize the factors deemed to be of influence. The macro (external environment) level includes criteria such as economic conditions, formal institutions, government policies, competitors and rumors. The factors addressed in the meso (organizational) level include organization age and size, location, property structure, client, supplier and shareholder relationships, financial resources, physical resources, human resources and succession process. At the micro (individual) level the managers’ skill, characteristics, actions and mindset are of influence. This paper contributes to advancing the debate and underpins further empirical research on organizational failure in food supply chains.

是什么导致组织失败？文献综述为将来的食品部门（管理）研究提供信息

背景

粮食市场的组织失败是对粮食安全的潜在威胁。因此，对影响组织失败和降低供应链弹性的因素的深入了解对于支撑敏捷和动态的食品供应链至关重要。

范围和方法

本文的目的是有助于理解影响食品供应链中组织失败的系统层面的因素，以便从微观，中观和微观三个层面对这些因素的水平和垂直相互作用进行概念化。宏系统级别。基于特定搜索策略的系统评价结合了管理，商业和经济学研究领域的文章。最初确定了616篇文章，但其中只有41篇符合既定的纳入标准并进行了审查。开发了一种组织失败模型，这里称为“纸牌屋模型”，可以在以后的研究中进行实证检验。

主要发现和结论

开发了层次结构以将被认为具有影响力的因素进行上下文化。宏观（外部环境）级别包括经济条件，正式机构，政府政策，竞争对手和谣言等标准。中观（组织）级别涉及的因素包括组织的年龄和规模，位置，财产结构，客户，供应商和股东关系，财务资源，物质资源，人力资源和继任过程。在微观（个人）层面，管理者的技能，特征，行动和思维方式具有影响力。本文有助于推动辩论，并为对食品供应链中组织失败的进一步实证研究奠定基础。
