Abstract

Recent years have seen the extensive use of big data analytics, related technological infrastructure, and machine learning applications for digital transformation. The resource dependency related to data-driven applications elicits public-private collaborations (PPCs) between governments and private or non-government organizations (NGOs) for value creation. Such collaborations are effective for the success of humanitarian supply chain operations (HSCOs), particularly in the event of large-scale disasters. By building on resource dependence theory (RDT), our study explores the links between digital transformation, PPCs, and HSCO success. Using structural equation modeling on data collected from 224 key decision-makers and experts, we found that digital transformation mediates the relationship between private-NGO collaborations and HSCO success while host government support moderates it. Our study thus makes an original contribution to RDT and the emerging domains of contemporary digital and data-driven applications in HSCO. The implications and future research directions arising from this study are also discussed in this research paper.

公私合作中的数字化转型：人道主义供应链运作的成功

近年来，大数据分析、相关技术基础设施和机器学习应用被广泛应用于数字化转型。与数据驱动型应用相关的资源依赖引发了政府与私营或非政府组织（NGOs）之间的公私合作（PPCs），以创造价值。这种合作对于人道主义供应链行动（HSCO）的成功非常有效，尤其是在发生大规模灾害时。我们的研究以资源依赖理论（RDT）为基础，探讨了数字化转型、PPCs 和 HSCO 成功之间的联系。通过对从 224 位关键决策者和专家那里收集到的数据进行结构方程建模，我们发现数字化转型在私营-非政府组织合作与 HSCO 成功之间起到了中介作用，而东道国政府的支持则起到了调节作用。因此，我们的研究为 RDT 以及 HSCO 中当代数字和数据驱动应用的新兴领域做出了原创性贡献。本文还讨论了本研究的意义和未来研究方向。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on the interface between engineering and management. It covers all aspects of manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general. The journal is interdisciplinary, considering activities throughout the product life cycle and material flow cycle. It aims to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and strengthening the theoretical base for decision making. The journal serves as a forum for exchanging ideas and presenting new developments in theory and application, combining academic standards with practical value for industrial applications.
