Abstract

Purpose: During the COVID-19 global pandemic, a very significant change has occurred in the demand for basic goods, resulting from the change in the consumer needs of the population in light of a large-scale health and economic crisis. This has revealed the true importance that the agri-food supply chains (ASC) have in the design of business strategies, especially at exceptional times, when the logistics process must be robust enough to continue to ensure the supply of products. In this context, the article presents a qualitative review of the academic literature, with the aim of extracting those factors that have the greatest influence on the degree of resilience of the ASC.Design/methodology: The methodology used is the integrative review of scientific publications, with a closer focus on those specialized in the supply chain, in order to perform a critical analysis and demonstrate theory based on the existing evidence. Both the document search and the content analysis abide by rigorous, explicit criteria.Findings: The bibliographic analysis reveals that there are at least three business strategies that can be considered critical factors in the degree of resilience of the ASCs. These three strategies are: a customer-oriented business awareness;distribution models based on proximity;and cooperative practices among the factors that make up the value chains.Originality/value: In such an important historical moment as the Coronavirus pandemic, it is very appropriate to look back in order to analyze all the scientific literature that could help us to better understand the current situation. It is even more important to do so in those areas of knowledge that do not yet have a consolidated academic trajectory, such as in the case of the resilience of supply chains.

农业食品供应链的弹性因素:covid-19大流行背景下的文献综合综述

目的:在2019冠状病毒病全球大流行期间，由于大规模卫生和经济危机，人口的消费需求发生了变化，对基本商品的需求发生了非常重大的变化。这揭示了农业食品供应链(ASC)在商业战略设计中的真正重要性，特别是在特殊时期，当物流过程必须足够强大以继续确保产品供应时。在此背景下，本文对学术文献进行了定性回顾，旨在提取对ASC弹性程度影响最大的因素。设计/方法:所使用的方法是对科学出版物进行综合审查，更密切地关注那些专门从事供应链的出版物，以便在现有证据的基础上进行批判性分析和论证理论。文档搜索和内容分析都遵循严格、明确的标准。研究结果:文献分析表明，至少有三种商业策略可以被认为是影响服务提供商弹性程度的关键因素。这三种策略是:以客户为导向的商业意识;基于邻近的分销模式;以及构成价值链的因素之间的合作实践。原创性/价值:在冠状病毒大流行这样一个重要的历史时刻，回顾一下，分析一下所有可以帮助我们更好地了解当前形势的科学文献，是非常合适的。更重要的是，在那些尚未形成统一学术轨迹的知识领域，比如供应链的弹性，这样做。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
