Supply Chain Risk Management under Covid-19: A Review and Research Agenda

A general literature review has been made on 35 papers (published 2019-2020) with a focus on studying supply chain risk management under Covid-19. Out of the collected papers, 24 papers were recognized as the main references of this paper and were directly related to the subject of this study; they were all published in 2020. The most important difference of the global pandemic compared to the other types of supply chain threats is that the impact of Covid-19 remains for a long time. While there are relatively sufficient resources on the concept of supply chain resilience, less resource is available on the other subjects of stability, robustness and viability. Although supply chain viability is relatively a new concept in supply chain risk management, according to the vulnerability cycle and the zone of viability, in order for a supply chain to be viable, it should also be stable, resilient and robust.
