Abstract

Supply chain risk management is a nascent area with researchers who have approached the area from different domains and can therefore be expected to be diverse in how they perceive the scope and the appropriateness of different research tools. This chapter presents our study of this diversity among operations and supply chain management scholars that involves literature review and surveys. Our findings characterize the diversity in terms of three “gaps”: a definition gap in how researchers understand supply-chain risk management, a process gap in terms of inadequate coverage of response to risk incidents, and a methodology gap in terms of inadequate use of empirical methods. We also list ways to close these gaps as suggested by the researchers we surveyed.
