Abstract
Purpose
The vulnerability issue in supply chains is among the most pressing concerns that firms are currently facing. As a preliminary attempt to address the lack of empirical research, this paper aims to primarily explore the relationship between vulnerability mitigation strategies and supply chain effectiveness with security culture as a moderator.
Design/methodology/approach
Data are gathered via a survey of 209 Indonesian manufacturing firms. The data are analyzed using partial least squares technique.
Findings
Results indicate that supply chain visibility, supply chain flexibility and supplier development strategies positively affect supply chain effectiveness. Moreover, risk culture positively moderates the effects of supply chain visibility and supplier development on supply chain effectiveness.
Practical implications
The findings may improve supply chain effectiveness by mitigating the effects of vulnerability causes.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the advancement of knowledge on the relationships between vulnerability mitigation strategies and supply chain effectiveness.
