Description

edit

A new scale was developed to measure risk management infrastructure. A substantive validity test was used for scale purification.

Definition

edit

Risk management infrastructure describes a firm’s structure of resources designed to manage risk in the supply chain (Blackhurst et al., 2011).

Comments

edit

The three items might measure the construct in a formative rather than reflective way. The three items could be interpreted as yes–no questions, i.e. a 7-point scale might not be suitable here.
