Risk assessment and relationship management: practical approach to supply chain risk management
by Bob Ritchie, Clare S. Brindley, Nick Armstrong
International Journal of Agile Systems and Management (IJASM), Vol. 3, No. 3/4, 2008

Abstract: The literature suggests the need for incorporating the risk construct into the measurement of organisational performance, although few examples are available as to how this might be undertaken in relation to supply chains. A conceptual framework for the development of performance and risk management within the supply chain is evolved from the literature and empirical evidence. The twin levels of dyadic performance/risk management and the management of a portfolio of performance/risks is addressed, employing Agency Theory to guide the analysis. The empirical evidence relates to the downstream management of dealerships by a large multinational organisation. Propositions are derived from the analysis relating to the issues and mechanisms that may be employed to effectively manage a portfolio of supply chain performance and risks.
