Abstract

Purpose

Critical infrastructure (CI) sectors and their resilience are vital for societies to function. In many countries, vital societal functions (VSFs) and CIs depend on inter-organizational and international supply chains (SCs) which combine public and private actors with often competing interests and unclear responsibilities that create discontents. While collaborative supply chain risk management (SCRM) can increase the robustness and resilience of VSF&CIs, their inherent characteristics complicate SCRM. To understand this, supply chain risk governance (SCRG) has conceptually been introduced, suggesting collaborative mechanisms that facilitate inter-organizational SCRM. The purpose of this study is to elaborate on and substantiate the theoretical and practical relevance of an existing SCRG framework, by empirically exploring governance of collaborative SCRM and suggesting future research.

Design/methodology/approach

An abductive case study was performed in a VSF&CI, the Swedish food system, to contextualize top-level governance of collaborative SCRM and elaborate on the conceptual SCRG framework. Archival data supplemented expert interviews with public and private actors representing direct and indirect SC actors.

Findings

Current discourse and interventions in the Swedish food system’s SCRM confirmed discontent in governance and the importance of SCRG mechanisms and supported further conceptualization, e.g. of legal mechanisms vs economic incentives, the importance of government inquiries and the understanding of the influence of indirect public SC actors.

Research limitations/implications

Considering the geographical scope of the study, transferability is limited but invites comparisons with both other countries and the SCRG of other VSF&CIs. Proposed research avenues guide future conceptualization and contextualization of SCRG.

Practical implications

The framework can support CI actors to jointly find and reduce discontents related to inter-organizational SCRM and support policymakers to increase public–private collaboration.

Originality/value

The novelty lies in empirically studying SCRG in critical infrastructures by combining SCRM and risk governance lenses.

关键基础设施部门供应链风险治理的背景:瑞典食品系统的启示
目的关键基础设施(CI)部门及其复原力对社会运转至关重要。在许多国家,重要社会功能(VSFs)和 CIs 都依赖于组织间和国际供应链(SCs),这些供应链结合了公共和私人行为者,他们之间往往存在利益冲突,责任不清,从而引发不满。虽然协作式供应链风险管理(SCRM)可以提高 VSF&CIs 的稳健性和复原力,但它们的固有特征使 SCRM 变得复杂。为了理解这一点,从概念上引入了供应链风险治理(SCRG),提出了促进组织间 SCRM 的协作机制。本研究的目的是通过对协作式 SCRM 治理的实证探索,阐述和证实现有 SCRG 框架的理论和实践意义,并对未来研究提出建议。设计/方法/途径在瑞典食品系统(VSF&CI)中进行了归纳式案例研究,以了解协作式 SCRM 的高层治理背景,并阐述 SCRG 概念框架。研究结果当前瑞典食品系统 SCRM 的讨论和干预证实了管理中的不满情绪和 SCRG 机制的重要性,并支持进一步的概念化,例如法律机制与经济激励机制。研究局限性/影响考虑到研究的地理范围,可移植性有限,但可以与其他国家和其他自愿性社会福利和社区参与机构的 SCRG 进行比较。建议的研究途径可为未来的 SCRG 概念化和背景化提供指导。该框架可支持 CI 参与者共同发现和减少与组织间 SCRM 相关的不满情绪,并支持政策制定者加强公私合作。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Logistics Management (IJLM) is a scholarly publication that focuses on empirical research, with a particular emphasis on qualitative studies. The journal is committed to publishing articles that contribute original ideas to the field of logistics and supply chain management, which are presented in a clear and scientifically rigorous manner. All submissions undergo a rigorous, anonymous peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the research. IJLM serves as a platform for the development and examination of management theories and practices in logistics and supply chain management. The journal aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to share insights and knowledge.
