Abstract
Supply Chain and operational disruptions have become more frequent, more visible, and far more consequential for firms. Although we now have a large body of research on disruption causes, resilience strategies, and risk mitigation, the literature is surprisingly fragmented in how it measures the actual impact of these events. This review paper takes stock of empirical work from roughly 2010–2024 and provides an integrative examination of the different approaches’ scholars have used to quantify disruption outcomes. The literature around the major impact metrics used in prior studies are organized and evaluated along domains of market-based measures, accounting-based performance, operational outcomes, and firm-level risk indicators. By comparing methods across event studies, panel regressions, natural experiments, and crisis-based analyses, the review highlights where the field has made progress and areas for future contributions grounded in identified measurement gaps.
