Purpose – Globalization and outsourcing have rendered Indian automotive companies more vulnerable to supply chain (SC) risks. Consequently, companies adopt different supply chain risk management (SCRM) strategies to mitigate SC risks. The purpose of this paper is to explore SCRM strategies in Indian automobile industry and to classify automobile firms based on SCRM dimensions. Design/methodology/approach – A survey instrument on SCRM dimensions was designed and data were collected from 79 automobile firms. Principle component analysis (PCA) was performed on the collected data to derive the factors underlying SCRM dimensions. Further, cluster analysis using extracted factors as a clustering variate was performed to identify strategic groups from the given set of firms. Findings – PCA derived seven factors, namely: avoidance, supplier development, flexibility, risk pooling, redundancy, integration and control strategies. The surveyed firms were classified into two clusters as low and high SCRM level. Research limitations/implications – A limitation of this study is that data were collected from a single industry and in a single country. Practical implications – Understanding of SCRM dimensions shall increase the use of these dimensions and firms can mitigate negative effects of SC risks. The detailed operationalization of SCRM strategies highlights the importance of three strategies: avoidance, integration and supplier development. Managers’ understanding of SCRM strategies will improve the firm's performance and business excellence. Originality/value – This research empirically validates SCRM strategies and investigates how these create differences among firms.

The purpose of the conceptual paper is to present a framework for managing pharmaceutical supply chain uncertainty and risk. The supply chain risk management strategy is critical and significant to strategically support the firms to success in the long run. However, very little research has been conducted in the pharmaceutical firms so far. Based on literature review, the supply chain integration capability is considered as effective risk management tools for mitigating the supply chain uncertainty and risk. The authors identified main types of pharmaceutical supply chain uncertainty and risk. The conceptual framework focuses on the relationships among the supply chain integration capability and pharmaceutical supply chain uncertainty and risk. This provides insights into the pharmaceutical supply chain risk management. The study focuses on the pharmaceutical industry. However, the proposed framework can be validated with an empirical work in different sectors. Moreover, this contributes to the pharmaceutical supply chain management literature.
