Abstract

Firms with high operational resilience tend to have greater stability and recoverability, and are able to remain competitive in complex and changing market environments. However, whether digitalization can build operational resilience and how firms can further benefit from it remains to be studied. Based on the dynamic capability view and network embeddedness theory, this study investigates how digitalization (internal factor) and supply chain network position (external factor) influence operational resilience of Chinese firms during the Covid-19 pandemic. We measure operational resilience by disruption absorption and recoverability. Using the data of listed firms in the China A-share market from 2016 to 2022, we find that digitalization can enhance operational resilience by improving sensing and seizing capabilities, and increase operational recoverability by enhancing reconfiguration capabilities during the pandemic. Furthermore, social network analysis indicates that firms with higher centrality or span more structural holes in the supply chain network have information, resource and control advantages and therefore benefit more from digitalization in improving operational resilience. Our findings provide theoretical and practical implications for managers to leverage digitalization and network position to cope with unprecedented shocks in the post-pandemic era.
通过数字化建立运营弹性:供应链网络位置的作用
具有高运营弹性的企业往往具有更大的稳定性和可恢复性,能够在复杂多变的市场环境中保持竞争力。然而,数字化是否可以建立运营弹性以及企业如何从中进一步受益仍有待研究。基于动态能力观和网络嵌入性理论,本研究探讨了数字化(内部因素)和供应链网络位置(外部因素)如何影响新冠肺炎大流行期间中国企业的运营弹性。我们通过中断吸收和可恢复性来衡量运营弹性。利用2016 - 2022年中国a股上市公司的数据,我们发现数字化可以通过提高感知和抓住能力来增强运营弹性,通过增强大流行期间的重构能力来提高运营可恢复性。此外,社会网络分析表明,供应链网络中中心性越高或跨越越多结构性漏洞的企业具有信息、资源和控制优势,因此在提高运营弹性方面从数字化中获益更多。我们的研究结果为管理者利用数字化和网络地位应对大流行后时代前所未有的冲击提供了理论和实践意义。
