Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the key drivers contributing to supply chain resilience, with specific attention on agility, absorptive capacity and ambidexterity. It focuses on the roles of supply chain absorptive capacity (SCAC), supply chain ambidexterity (SCAB), supply chain agility (SCAG) and supply chain flexibility (SCF) in enhancing supply chain resilience (SCR).

Design/methodology/approach

A survey based on a questionnaire with established scales for SCAC, SCAB, SCAG, SCF and SCR was conducted among professionals in various industries within India, receiving 356 responses. Structural equation modeling is used to test the hypothesis.

Findings

The study reveals significant relationships between SCAC, SCAB, SCAG and SCR. SCAC and SCAB are positively correlated with SCAG, which in turn positively influences SCR. Further, SCF directly influences SCR and moderates the relationships between SCAC/SCAB and SCAG, enhancing the agility and resilience of the supply chain. These findings underline the importance of integrating knowledge management, adaptability and flexibility in supply chain strategies to cope with the dynamic business environment.

Originality/value

The uniqueness of this study lies in its integrated investigation of absorptive capacity, ambidexterity, agility and supply chain flexibility, with a specific focus on the moderating role of flexibility. This research is unique in demonstrating how these dynamic capabilities transform disruptions into innovative and growth opportunities for supply chain management.

适应破坏：敏捷性、吸收能力和灵活性对供应链复原力的影响

目的本研究旨在探讨供应链复原力的关键驱动因素，特别关注敏捷性、吸收能力和灵活性。研究重点是供应链吸收能力（SCAC）、供应链灵活性（SCAB）、供应链敏捷性（SCAG）和供应链柔性（SCF）在增强供应链复原力（SCR）中的作用。设计/方法/途径在印度各行业的专业人士中开展了一项基于问卷的调查，问卷中包含 SCAC、SCAB、SCAG、SCF 和 SCR 的既定量表，共收到 356 份回复。研究结果该研究揭示了 SCAC、SCAB、SCAG 和 SCR 之间的重要关系。SCAC 和 SCAB 与 SCAG 呈正相关，而 SCAG 又对 SCR 产生积极影响。此外，SCF 直接影响 SCR，并调节 SCAC/SCAB 和 SCAG 之间的关系，从而提高供应链的灵活性和应变能力。这些发现强调了在供应链战略中整合知识管理、适应性和灵活性以应对动态商业环境的重要性。原创性/价值本研究的独特之处在于它综合考察了吸收能力、灵活性、敏捷性和供应链灵活性，并特别关注灵活性的调节作用。这项研究的独特之处在于，它展示了这些动态能力是如何将干扰转化为供应链管理的创新和增长机遇的。
