  • Critical Success Factors to Promote Enterprise Risk Management and Business Performance in Pharmaceutical Companies: a Systematic Review   Order a copy of this article
    by Xing Su, Siew Chin Ong 
    Abstract: This study identifies the critical success factors(CSFs) influencing enterprise risk management (ERM), and business performance in the pharmaceutical industry. Expectedly, all identified CSFs were designed to have a positive impact on the implementation of ERM. Consequently, we developed a comprehensive research framework to guide future research. Given the scale of the systematic review, we identified via a thorough screening process a carefully selected compendium of research articles. After extracting and analysing the relevant information from these papers, we rightly identified and highlighted that the survey was the most recognized and predominant research method, emphasized five commonly used CSFs and several business performance indicators. Besides, this study recognized effective tools for evaluating ERM systems. By integrating these insights, this research established a fundamental framework that addressed gaps in the fragmented literature, which previously lacked an integrated analysis of interrelationships, and proposed several specific opportunities for future research.
