Abstract

The severity of potential risks of today’s global networks emphasizes the need for supply chain risk management (SCRM), to design economically competitive supply chains and pro-vide competitive advantage. The internet of things (IoT) offers the opportunity for a radical change through increasing transparency due to the interconnection of partners, goods and pro-cesses. We contribute to this field by conducting a multiple case study, examining how IoT influences SCRM. Our results show IoT positively influences the risk identification, assess-ment, treatment and monitoring, and improves the external pathway of SCRM. However, the application focuses on few use cases, which entail several barriers.
