Linking Supply Chain Network Complexity to Interdependence and Risk-Assessment: Scale Development and Empirical Investigation

摘要: Concepts like supply chain network complexity, interdependence and risk assessment have been prominently discussed directly indirectly in management literature over past decades plenty of frameworks conceptual prescriptive research works published contributing towards building the body knowledge. However previous studies often lacked quantification findings. Consequently, need for suitable scales becomes prominent measuring those constructs to empirically support conceptualized relationships. This paper expands understanding complexity (SCNC) also highlights its implications on (ID) between actors (RAS) transaction In doing so, SCNC RAS are operationalized understand how affects network. The contribution this study lies developing validating multi-item these establishing hypothesized relationships Indian context based firm data collected using survey–based questionnaire. methodology followed included structural equation modeling. findings indicate that had significant relationship with interdependence, which turn significantly affected assessment. carries both academic managerial provides an supported framework linking two key variables (ID RAS), playing crucial roles decision making. contributes knowledge aims at guiding managers better
