Purpose

This paper integrates research on demand- and supply-side risk management practices to better explain how to achieve competitive advantage in dynamic business conditions. The purpose of this study is to develop a model linking supply chain flexibility, agility, robustness and resilience and to investigate its relationships and impact on business performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conduct a review of existing literature to derive their hypotheses and operationalize the respective constructs. The formulated research model is then validated applying partial least squares structural equation modeling on survey data from 89 multi-national companies based in Europe.

Findings

The authors find a significant positive relationship between supply chain flexibility and supply chain agility as well as supply chain robustness and supply chain resilience, respectively. Additionally, it is argued that supply chain flexibility, agility and resilience have significant positive impact on individual dimensions of business performance.

Originality/value

The relationships between supply chain flexibility, agility, robustness, resilience and business performance are investigated and empirically validated altogether in a single model for the first time, providing a clear separation of these terms and shedding further light on the management of supply chain risks.

需求侧和供应侧风险管理实践之间关系及其对业务绩效影响的实证研究

目的

本文整合了对需求侧和供应侧风险管理实践的研究，以更好地解释如何在动态业务条件下实现竞争优势。本研究的目的是开发一个将供应链灵活性、敏捷性、稳健性和弹性联系起来的模型，并调查其关系和对业务绩效的影响。

设计/方法/方法

作者对现有文献进行了审查，以得出他们的假设并实施各自的结构。然后，对来自欧洲 89 家跨国公司的调查数据应用偏最小二乘结构方程模型来验证制定的研究模型。

发现

作者分别发现供应链灵活性和供应链敏捷性以及供应链稳健性和供应链弹性之间存在显着的正相关关系。此外，有人认为，供应链的灵活性、敏捷性和弹性对业务绩效的各个方面具有显着的积极影响。

原创性/价值

首次在单一模型中对供应链灵活性、敏捷性、稳健性、弹性和业务绩效之间的关系进行了调查和实证验证，明确区分了这些术语并进一步阐明了供应链风险的管理。
