Abstract

Various strategies to cope with change in supply chains exist. Previous studies show that robustness enhancing strategies are particularly promising. However, there is little knowledge about a comprehensive framework of dimensions and antecedents that lead
to a robust supply chain. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a systematic literature review, gathering and synthesizing quality evidence to build an integrated whole. The final framework consists of two dimensions and proposes five robustness precursors. The results provide highly relevant managerial insights, though quantitative testing is required before a widespread adoption can be recommended.
