Description of the Supply Chain Disruption Survey
A New Survey on Knowledge Flows in Global Supply Chains
The Supply Chain Disruption Survey has the aim of learning about companies' recent experiences and future expectations in terms of supplier relations. As part of the RETHINK-GSC Horizon research project, the Supply Chain Disruption Survey was conducted in four countries – Austria, Denmark, Germany and Hungary – between mid 2023 and spring 2024. Medium-sized and large firms operating in various manufacturing industries were asked about different aspects of their relationship with their suppliers. This paper provides information about the background and the design of survey, the survey instrument and its implementation, as well as preliminary descriptive patterns.
