Impacts of Cyber Security and Supply Chain Risk on Digital Operations: Evidence from the Pharmaceutical Industry

The research explored empirical evidence to assess the impact of cyber security and supply chain risk on digital operations in the UAE pharmaceutical industry. Based on responses from 243 personnel working at 14 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Dubai, data were examined for normality, instr...

Based on responses from 243 personnel working at 14 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Dubai, data were examined for normality, instrument validity and regression analysis. Cyber security and SC risk on digital operations were explored by applying convenient sampling and descriptive and analytical research design.

La investigación exploró la evidencia empírica para evaluar el impacto de la seguridad cibernética y el riesgo de la cadena de suministro en las operaciones digitales en la industria farmacéutica de los EAU. Con base en las respuestas de 243 miembros del personal que trabajan en 14 empresas de fabricación farmacéutica en Dubái, se examinó la normalidad de los datos, la validez del instrumento y el análisis de regresión. Se exploró la seguridad cibernética y el riesgo de SC en las operaciones digitales mediante la aplicación de un muestreo conveniente y un diseño de investigación descriptivo y analítico. Los hallazgos validaron la importante asociación positiva entre la seguridad cibernética y el riesgo de la cadena de suministro con las operaciones digitales. El modelo de investigación se desarrolló con tres variables evaluadas únicamente sobre la industria farmacéutica en Dubai. La investigación futura debería centrarse en múltiples industrias manufactureras cubriendo un área geográfica más grande. Cuando los proveedores están muy concentrados, las organizaciones centradas en el cliente con niveles inciertos de transformación digital podrían mejorar su capacidad para gestionar el riesgo de la cadena de suministro mediante la diversificación de sus clientes. Las empresas farmacéuticas pueden requerir un mayor enfoque en las empresas de fabricación basadas en tecnología para generar y mantener la confianza del cliente. Para ilustrar cómo la industria farmacéutica ha explorado la relación entre la seguridad cibernética, el riesgo de la cadena de suministro y las operaciones digitales, la investigación destaca las consecuencias significativas y complicadas del modelo de relación que no se han considerado previamente.
