Abstract

Chinese government recently launched one belt one road to reform and speed up the development of Chinese economic in the world. One Belt One Road (OBOR) strategy heavily relied on the traditional logistical trade routes including terrestrial and oceanic Silk Road. Logistics performance may play a vital role for implementing the One Belt One Road plan. Especially, third party logistics providers as supporting members to carry out value-adding supply chain activities in one belt one road. According to literature review, supply chain risk is an issue to obstruct the development of logistics performance. The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for managing supply chain risks and improving logistics performance under the OBOR initiative in Chinese third party logistics service providers. There are very few studies on risk management in the OBOR initiative. We focus on the innovation, customer response and flexibility in the third-party logistics providers. This would provide a guide for both academics and practitioners to manage supply chain risks and improve logistics performance and enlighten them to pay attention to supply chain risk management in the Chinese third party logistics sector. In addition, this contributes to the supply chain and logistics management in One Belt One Road literature.

提高“一带一路”物流绩效：中国第三方物流供应商供应链风险管理的概念框架

中国政府最近启动了“一带一路”改革，加快了中国经济在世界范围内的发展。一带一路战略在很大程度上依赖于包括陆上和海上丝绸之路在内的传统物流贸易路线。物流绩效可能对“一带一路”计划的实施起着至关重要的作用。特别是第三方物流供应商作为支持成员，在一带一路开展增值供应链活动。根据文献综述，供应链风险是阻碍物流绩效发展的一个问题。本文的目的是为中国第三方物流服务提供商在OBOR倡议下管理供应链风险和提高物流绩效提供一个概念框架。OBOR倡议中关于风险管理的研究很少。我们专注于第三方物流供应商的创新、客户响应和灵活性。这将为学术界和实务界管理供应链风险、提高物流绩效提供指导，并启发他们关注中国第三方物流行业的供应链风险管理。此外，这有助于“一带一路”文献中的供应链和物流管理。

期刊介绍： The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
