Managing Disruptions and the Ripple Effect in Digital Supply Chains: Empirical Case Studies

Abstract

This chapter studies the impact of accelerating digitalization on supply chain risk management. The interrelationships between digital technologies and supply chain disruption risk are analyzed using multiple case studies from various industries. The empirical analysis guided a conceptual framework based on extant theory and specific hypotheses. The chapter concludes with a discussion of research opportunities for future study. In particular, the discussion involves perspectives and future transformations that can be expected in the transition toward cyber-physical supply chains.
