Integrated risk management performance and manufacturing capabilities in the energy sector

There is extensive research on the field of supply chain risk management and risk management in manufacturing. However, there are a few studies that have focused on the energy sector in particular. In this paper, we focus on this topic and sector by using a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with chief risk officers from different organisations in the UK and Portugal to understand their practices, tools, and organisational views around risk management. The results show that managers recognise the innovation behind their respective management strategies and are committed to continuing embracing technological paradigms that enhance risk management. Some recommendations to managers in the sector are provided. The paper concludes with a summary of the research, limitations and avenues for future research.
