Purpose - This paper examines Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) from a holistic systems thinking perspective by considering the different typologies that have evolved as a result of earlier research. The aim of research reported in this paper is the identification of important strategic changes in the field and to outline future requirements and research opportunities in SCRM.Design/methodology/approach - The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology employed by our research was used to evaluate and categorise a literature survey of quality articles published over a period of 10 years (2000-2010). Additionally, the findings from the SLR have been strengthened through cross validation against results obtained from an associated text mining activity.Findings - The SLR methodology has provided a rich, unbiased and holistic picture of the advances in the field of SCRM. Consequently, important new research areas have been identified based on a multi-perspective descriptive and thematic data analysis. In addition, our analysis based on evolved typologies indicates a growth of SCRM from a nascent to a fairly established activity over the past decadePractical implications - The systematic approach undertaken for the literature review will provide future researchers and managers with an insightful understanding of the scope of the SCRM field. Also, the literature review provides important clues on new research directions for SCRM through identification of gaps in current knowledge.Originality/value - The holistic approach to SCRM was found to be an important missing link in earlier literature surveys. The outcome of the Systematic Literature Review reported in this paper has provided critical insights into the present and future scope of the SCRM field. The identified research insights, gaps and future directions will encourage new research techniques with a view to managing the risks in the globalized supply chain environment.

Supply chain risk management and artificial intelligence: state of the art and future research directions (2018, neutral): “This is either due to surveys being less recent (Vanany, Zailani, and Pujawan 2009; Peidro et al. 2009) or due to adopting a more restricted focus: Ghadge, Dani, and Kalawsky (2012) and Colicchia and Strozzi (2012) focus mostly on strategic approaches to SCRM, Behzadi et al. (2018) include only…”
A review of supply chain risk management: definition, theory, and research agenda (2018, methodology): “Earlier work has used, for example, citation network analysis (Colicchia and Strozzi, 2012), text mining (Ghadge et al., 2012), and bibiometric & network analysis (Fahimnia et al., 2015) whereas we have adopted a descriptive, thematic, and content analysis of the literature.”
Supply chain disruption propagation: a systemic risk and normal accident theory perspective (2018, background): “This propagation of disruptions can affect performance including profit loss and in extreme cases can influence the survivability of the supply chain (Ghadge, Dani, and Kalawsky 2011).”
A multi-objective approach to supply chain risk management: Integrating visibility with supply and demand risk (2015, background): “Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is a new area emerging from a growing appreciation for supply chain risk by both practitioners and researchers (Ghadge et al., 2012; Sodhi et al., 2012; Tang et al., 2013).”
Managing climate change risks in global supply chains: a review and research agenda (2019, positive): “The information explosion from multiple data sources makes it difficult to identify explicit and justifiable knowledge about the research area (Ghadge et al., 2012).”
