Purpose

In spite of its potential benefits in a wide range of situations, supply chain risk mitigation strategies have received scant attention on the subject of managing the supply chain risk in the business environment. Especially, there is still a limited understanding of the importance of firms’ supply chain flexibility, resilience and responsiveness in the supply chain risk management (SCRM) literature. This research focuses on exploring the relationship between significant proactive risk mitigation strategies, namely supply chain (SC) flexibility, resilience and responsiveness, as well as SCRM performance to facilitate bridging the gap between mitigation strategies and SCRM performance. The moderating role of risk management (RM) culture was also hypothesized and tested.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey-based methodology is adopted. The data are analyzed using the technique of partial least squares.

Findings

The results indicate that SC resilience and responsiveness are positively associated with SCRM performance; however, SC flexibility does not. In addition, interestingly, RM culture does not moderate these relationships in spite of the extant literature. We argue that this could be due to the fact that risk management culture is at the beginning stage for an enterprise in Turkey.

Originality/value

This study extends the existing literature by advancing the knowledge on the relationship between proactive risk management strategies, which applied to overcome uncertainties and SCRM performance.

主动的风险缓解策略和供应链风险管理绩效：土耳其制造企业的经验分析

目的

尽管供应链风险缓解策略在各种情况下都有潜在的好处，但在商业环境中管理供应链风险这一主题上却很少受到关注。尤其是，在供应链风险管理（SCRM）文献中，对公司的供应链灵活性，弹性和响应能力的重要性的了解仍然有限。这项研究的重点是探索重要的主动风险缓解策略之间的关系，即供应链（SC）灵活性，适应力和响应能力，以及SCRM绩效，以缩小缓解策略与SCRM绩效之间的差距。还假设和测试了风险管理（RM）文化的调节作用。

设计/方法/方法

采用基于调查的方法。使用偏最小二乘技术分析数据。

发现

结果表明，SC的适应能力和响应能力与SCRM绩效呈正相关。但是，SC灵活性却不然。此外，有趣的是，尽管已有文献，但RM文化并没有缓和这些关系。我们认为这可能是由于这样的事实，即风险管理文化对于土耳其的企业而言尚处于起步阶段。

创意/价值

这项研究通过增进对主动风险管理策略之间关系的认识来扩展现有文献，这些策略可用于克服不确定性和SCRM绩效。
