Abstract

As disruptions and unpredictability grow in global supply chains, boosting firm resilience has emerged as a key managerial priority. This research draws upon organizational information processing theory (OIPT) to explore how supply chain visibility influences firm resilience, as well as the factors that moderate this relationship. Our dataset consists of panel data for 526 publicly listed manufacturing firms in China, capturing information on their top five suppliers and customers between 2018 and 2023. In addition, data related to supply chain visibility were compiled from the companies’ official websites. The findings demonstrate that supply chain visibility significantly enhances firm resilience. Further analysis reveals that environmental complexity, customer concentration, financial slack, and inventory slack positively moderate this relationship, while environmental dynamism exerts a negative moderating effect. Supplier concentration fails to show a notable moderating influence. This research broadens the application of OIPT and offers actionable guidance for firms aiming to strengthen their resilience.

供应链可见性是否提高企业弹性：一个组织信息处理理论的视角

随着全球供应链的中断和不可预测性的增加，提高企业的弹性已成为一项关键的管理优先事项。本研究利用组织信息处理理论（OIPT）来探讨供应链可见性如何影响企业弹性，以及调节这种关系的因素。我们的数据集包括中国526家上市制造企业的面板数据，获取了2018年至2023年间其五大供应商和客户的信息。此外，与供应链可见性相关的数据来自公司的官方网站。研究结果表明，供应链可见性显著提高了企业的弹性。进一步分析发现，环境复杂性、客户集中度、财务宽松度和库存宽松度正向调节这一关系，而环境动态性则起到负向调节作用。供应商集中度没有表现出显著的调节作用。本研究拓宽了OIPT的应用范围，为企业增强弹性提供了可操作的指导。
