A classification and framework for measuring sustainability supply chain risk indices in small and medium enterprises

Considering its significant contribution to the global Gross Domestic Product, improving an understanding of 
risks affecting the sustainability of operation in small and medium enterprises in a networked economy is undeniably 
important. Unfortunately, most of the previous studies concerning on managing risk in small and medium enterprises 
within a supply chain context are mostly focused on economic and operational risks and overlooking to the emerging 
risk, the sustainability risk. There is a need to have a better understanding of the mode of sustainability-risk variables 
affecting the operability of small and medium enterprises in supply chain context and framework for measuring their 
sustainability risk indices. This study, therefore, proposes a conceptual model to classify sustainability-related risk 
variables in the operation of the small and medium enterprises departing from the triple bottom lines namely, economic, environmental, and social risk from earlier references and develops a framework for measuring supply chain sustainability risk. proposed. The distinction between operational and sustainability risk variables and additional 
parameters for measuring the scale of risk score are presented. In the end, the paper provides new research directions for deeper investigation.
