Research Question: What are the appropriate governance approaches for data exchanges?

The pandemic played a major role in identifying problems in complex supply chains. See, for example, the shortage of chips in the car industry. An editorial by Choi (2022) has pointed out the need for supply chains to be mapped in order to enhance resilience. 

Once an organisation has developed such a map then they also need to establish the data sharing agreement amongst the various parties. That agreement enables tier 1 or OEMs to begin to identify areas at risk in supply. 

We have undertaken multiple interviews and workshops with supply chain partners to develop a framework for data sharing across multiple partners.
