[Research Contribution] Risk Management: The Key to Enhancing Supply Chain Performance Amidst Global Uncertainty

In the context of global supply chains increasingly facing numerous uncertainties, from geopolitical conflicts to post-pandemic disruptions, risk management capability is becoming a decisive factor in business operational performance. A study by a team of authors from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), using a PLS-SEM model with data from Vietnam, provides empirical evidence showing that risk management not only helps minimize disruptions but also directly enhances supply chain performance. The study also clarifies the central role of information sharing and collaboration among partners in increasing responsiveness, improving flexibility, and reducing internal disruptions. This result carries an important implication: risk management should not be viewed merely as a defensive tool, but needs to be positioned as a strategic capability that helps businesses enhance their competitive advantage in an uncertain environment.
