Abstract
Given the recent global disruptions such as the pandemic and the geo-political conflicts, there is a growing interest in how risks propagate within supply chains, influencing the structural design and planning. An empirical study involving 207 Vietnamese construction enterprises assessed the significance of the Domino effect, where multiple risks interact and amplify one another's impact. The research utilized a novel comparative model based on the individual effects of each risk on SC performance to validate the proposed theoretical model of the Domino effect. The model explains 66% of the variance in SC performance, surpassing the comparative model and prior research. The study revealed that the Domino effect triggers disruptions that cascade downstream and affect SC performance, leading to supply instability, operational challenges, innovation inefficiency, and loss of market share, etc. The research leverages empirical evidence from the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts to enhance understanding of the SC structural dynamics during turbulent times. Finally, it provides strategic risk mitigation approaches to enhance resilience in the Vietnamese construction industry and ensure robust preparedness for future disruptions.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
