Assessing the Collateral Benefits of Security and Risk Management Focused Supplier Management
The investment in supply chain security and risk management (SCS&RM) has been characterized by huge initial expenditure while financial and other justifications are lacking. Even though an array of collateral benefits of such investments has been studied, the literature is more practitioner-oriented and descriptive in natural. It neither provides any profound academic insights nor gives managers any helpful solutions to their problems. This paper starts the first step to provide an in-depth understanding of these collateral benefits. It assesses the collateral benefits of security and risk management focused supplier management routines and subsequent effects on firm performance. Specifically, the paper assesses three collateral benefits: supply chain responsiveness, supply chain resilience, and customer satisfaction. The paper contributes to the literature by summarizing the dimensions of security and risk management focused supplier management and by providing a more rigorous view of SCS&RM benefits. The finding from this study can potentially enhance our understanding of SCS&RM from a practitioner as well as an academic perspective.
