Abstract:

Uncertainties and risks have increased within supply chains that are becoming more complex with globalization. As a result of this situation, enterprises are implementing risk management activities to reduce or eliminate the effects of the risks. Firstly, literature review has been done on supply chain performance, risk in the supply chain and objectives of risk management within the scope of this study. In this research, the relationship between supply chain risk management activities and business performance of enterprises is examined. In this context, supply chain risks and the effects of risks have been tried to be determined, and the effect of applied risk management activities on business performance has been investigated. During the data collection process, a total of 369 questionnaires were applied to enterprises operating in Istanbul, and the data obtained were analyzed. As a result of analyses, it was concluded that the risk management activities related to procurement and data processing risks positively affect the instutional performance, and no statistically significant effect was found for demand, logistics and environmental risk management activities. Finally, it has been determined that controlling the risk factors arising from the supply and data processing risk will contribute to the improvement of the supply chain performance of enterprises.
