The subject of sustainability has gained much attention from both researchers and practitioners in the past 6-8 years. Most of the articles deal with sustainability from environmental perspectives, but a limited number of them integrate both economic and environmental implications or focus on trading-off between profitability, competitiveness and environmental dimensions. Moreover, there is a limited focus on modelling and analysis (MA) of SOM integrating and balancing the interests of both economic and environmental interests. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this paper to review the extant literature on SOM. The objective is to understand the definition of SOM and present the current status of research in MA, as well as future research directions in the field. Considering the recent focus of the subject, we review the literature on MA of SOM beginning in 2000 in order to make our study current and more relevant for both researchers and practitioners. Finally, a summary of findings and conclusions is reported.

On the one hand, there are many cases where events like natural disasters, strikes and terrorism have significantly influenced the performance of organizational supply chains and in turn their competitiveness. And on the other hand, operational activities and strategic decisions of the firms (concerning, for example, supply, procurement, production, delivery, commercialization, demand management, planning, etc.) can be different than expected and so create uncertainties. Uncertainties, whether they are external or internal, impact organizations leading to increased supply chain risk. Realizing the potential implications of these situations on supply chain competitiveness, an attempt has been made to define risks and their sources, and to identify the management that can help reduce the negative impact of risks on supply chains. In this paper a framework for Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is proposed and is applied using the data collected from 164 French companies, in manufacturing sector. The literature review, theoretical framework, and empirical research undertaken in this work have led to identifying critical success management for SCRM. The focus of this paper is the inter-organizational management of supply chain risk: the collaborative relationship (with industrial and supply partners) can be considered as an efficient way to make SCRM. The paper finishes with a summary of the findings and conclusions, along with suggestions for future research projects.
