Abstract:

The aim of the study is to determine the mediating role of supply chain risk management in the impact of supply chain integration and digitalization on performance. For this, a structural model was created. The relationships in the structural model were analyzed with the data obtained from 246 production enterprises operating in Gaziantep Organized Industrial Zones. The Structural Equation Model method was used to determine the relationships in the model. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that buyer-supplier integration, digitalization and buyer-supplier risk management factors have a significant effect on business performance. In addition, it has been determined that buyer-supplier integration and digitalization have a significant effect on buyer-supplier risk management. In the study, mediator effects were investigated. Accordingly, buyer-supplier risk management has a partial mediation effect on the effect of buyer-supplier integration and digitalization on business performance. The results support the structural model. It can be stated that the results obtained can make various contributions to the literature, businesses and managers.
