The purpose of this article is to analyze the concept and the drivers of the vulnerability of a supply chain through a review of the main theoretical and empirical studies dealing with these notions. In order to formalize the analysis of supply chain vulnerability, we develop propositions based on theories and prior literature. Especially, Normal Accident Theory and Resource-Based Theory provide the theoretical foundations for the analysis of supply chain vulnerability drivers. We have particularly drawn on these two theories and on prior literature to develop a number of propositions.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the concept and the drivers of the vulnerability of a supply chain through a review of the main theoretical and empirical studies dealing with these notions. In order to formalize the analysis of supply chain vulnerability, we develop propositions based on theories and prior literature. Especially, Normal Accident Theory and Resource-Based Theory provide the theoretical foundations for the analysis of supply chain vulnerability drivers. We have particularly drawn on these two theories and on prior literature to develop a number of propositions.

Abstract: (french)
L'objectif de cet article est d'étudier le concept et les facteurs de vulnérabilité de la chaîne logistique à travers une synthèse des principaux travaux de recherche traitant de cette notion. Dans cette visée, une fois ce concept discuté et défini, nous avons exposé le cadre théorique dans lequel il s'inscrit. Plus précisément, nous avons élucidé les apports de la théorie de l'Accident Normal (pour l'étude de la complexité de la chaîne logistique) et de la théorie de la dépendance des ressources pour l'étude et l'appréhension de la vulnérabilité due à la dépendance envers les partenaires de la SC. De nature particulièrement conceptuelle et théorique, cet article aboutit à la formulation de trois propositions de recherche.
Author Keywords: Chaîne logistique, Gestion des risques, Vulnérabilité de la supply chain, Gouvernance inter-organisationnelle, Stratégie achat, Structuration de la supply chain.
