Enterprises are constantly experiencing higher levels of supply chain disruptions\nin their operations due to the expansion of industriesâ?? business networks.\nIt becomes very necessary for enterprises to continually assess risks in\ntheir business operations. To mitigate the adverse consequences of such potential\nsupply chain risks on the performance of enterprises, it becomes imperative\nfor Ghanaian enterprises to implement adequate supply chain risk\nmanagement strategies. The purpose of this paper is to outline potential risks\nin the supply chain network of Ghanaian enterprises and investigate the impact\nof these potential risks and supply chain risk management (SCRM)\nstrategies on enterprise performance. Data for the study was collected from\n210 enterprises in Ghana and analyzed by modeling the constructs of supply\nchain risks, supply chain risk management (SCRM) strategies and enterprise\nperformance and also measuring the complex relationships among the constructs\nusing a structural approach. The structural model result shows that,\nenterprises with distinct organizational structures dedicated to supply chain\nrisk management with the purpose of mitigating supply chain risks tend to\nperform better than their competitors. The results also indicated a negative\nassociation between supply chain risks and the performance of Ghanaian enterprises.\nThis research provides direction for managers to adopt and develop\nadequate enterprise supply chain risk register and supply chain risk management\n(SCRM) strategies to mitigate the consequences of supply chain risks in\ntheir planned business operations.
