Purpose

Proactive risk assessment suggests that risk assessment should emphasize the consequences that it might cause and the opportunities it might create for firms. Hence, this study aims to validate risk impact on supply chain performance in the context of the Vietnamese construction sector. Also, a complex network, in which multiple risk factors mutually affect, impede or promote each other, is developed to assist managers in tackling unpredictable risks proactively. In particular, the authors investigate whether certain risks could be considered either challenges or opportunities for businesses in turbulent times to improve SC performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The construction industry is the focal study context as it is one of the most essential industries in charge of providing accommodations, infrastructures and employment for society. 289 valid responses used in this research are from a large-scale survey result, supported by a Japanese government project promoting sustainable socio-economic development in Vietnam.

Findings

From the study findings, the authors find that external risk brings opportunities for supply chain performance. Meanwhile, demand risk, when it occurs, can reduce the danger level of operational risk, which is an interesting finding of this research. It is evident that when multiple risk factors mutually affect, impede or promote each other, it provides a more meaningful examination of mutually interconnected supply chain risks.

Originality/value

Practitioners should perceive risks as an opportunity than a threat. This study contributes to preventing risks and guaranteeing an effective and efficient supply chain by tackling unpredictable risks in a disruptive period. Moreover, data on validating research models collected during the Covid-19 pandemic and Ukraine and Russia conflicts reflect the topicality of this study.

颠覆性时代的供应链风险评估：机遇与挑战

目的

主动风险评估表明，风险评估应强调其可能造成的后果以及可能为企业创造的机会。因此，本研究旨在验证越南建筑行业的风险对供应链绩效的影响。同时，构建多个风险因素相互影响、相互阻碍、相互促进的复杂网络，帮助管理者主动应对不可预测的风险。作者特别调查了在动荡时期某些风险是否可以被视为企业提高供应链绩效的挑战或机遇。

设计/方法论/途径

建筑业是重点研究领域，因为它是负责为社会提供住宿、基础设施和就业的最重要行业之一。本研究中使用的 289 个有效答案来自一项大规模调查结果，该调查得到了日本政府促进越南可持续社会经济发展的项目的支持。

发现

从研究结果来看，作者发现外部风险为供应链绩效带来了机会。同时，需求风险发生时，可以降低操作风险的危险程度，这是本研究的一个有趣的发现。显然，当多个风险因素相互影响、相互阻碍或相互促进时，对相互关联的供应链风险进行更有意义的审视。

原创性/价值

从业者应该将风险视为机遇而不是威胁。这项研究有助于通过应对颠覆时期不可预测的风险来预防风险并保证有效和高效的供应链。此外，在 Covid-19 大流行以及乌克兰和俄罗斯冲突期间收集的验证研究模型的数据反映了这项研究的时事性。
