A THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF SUBJECTS’ INTERACTION IN SUPPLY CHAINS AT RISKS CONDITIONS
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to develop the substantiation of a multilevel subjective interaction of market logistics services participants taking into account the risks conditions in supply chains. Methodology. The research is based on the use of the following general scientific and special research methods: the system and process approach – to substantiate the theoretical positions to formation of multilevel subjective interaction and the concept of risk management in the supply chains; methods of logical-dialectical analysis – for the disclosure of the theoretical and conceptual provisions of the supply chain management and the determination of the relationship between main entities (participants) and the logistics operator in the supply chains at risks conditions. Results of the research showed that three levels of subjective interaction between market participants of logistics services in supply chains could be formed. In this situation, there is a possibility to identify aspects and sources of increasing the efficiency of business processes’ integration in supply chains according to micro, meso, and macro levels. Practical implications. The development of an adaption system to risk situations in the system logistics integrator activity (operator of the logistics market) which includes identification subsystems, prevention of the occurrence conditions, risks localization and dissipation, as well as procedures and methods for compensating for risk losses, allows adjusting the logistics operator’s activities in real time and evaluate its contribution to the performance of the supply chain. Value/originality. The value of the research is to determine the exclusive role of the system logistics integrator as the main interaction subject in the market of logistics services and the grading subject of systemic risks in the supply chain.
