Mitigation Strategies in Supply Chain Risk Management: A Literature Review

Abstract

This systematic literature review aims to analyze risk mitigation studies spanning across 2004 – 2019. Embarking on the PRISMA approach, studies were selected through the identification, screening, eligibility and analysis steps. The findings revealed three main themes (culture, independent response and co-operative response), and 16 sub-themes. Several recommendations for future research were underscored including the need to conduct more studies to understand the culture, independent response and co-operative response for reactive strategies. This study could guide future researchers to augment the current literature by progressing towards the proposed recommendations.
