Specifically, we develop a theoretical model based on the organizational information processing theory and social exchange theory and test it by employing partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis on data from 172 Chinese manufacturing firms. The results reveal that firms' digitalization capability advantage (DCA) is an effective means to achieve the fit between information processing needs and capabilities in improving SCT and reducing the unethical behavior of partner firms. This fit is further strengthened when firms and their partners exhibit a higher level of cultural congruence. Additionally, the study demonstrates that improving SCT and mitigating unethical behavior are crucial mechanisms that facilitate reciprocal resource interactions, fostering high-quality social relationships between focal firms and their partners, and ultimately contributing to enhanced SCF performance. Overall, this study provides a clear and theoretically grounded explanation of how DCA can be utilized to enhance supply chain operations and SCF performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jbl.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relationship between robot adoption and supply chain resilience remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by empirically examining the impact of robot adoption on supply chain resilience, using a panel dataset of listed manufacturing firms in China from 2013 to 2022. The findings reveal that robot adoption not only significantly enhances a firm's own supply chain resilience but also exerts a positive spillover effect on the resilience of its upstream and downstream partners. Moreover, the study uncovers the moderating roles of enterprise innovation and digital strategies, which amplify the positive effects of robot adoption on supply chain resilience. By integrating technological, strategic, and network perspectives, this research offers novel empirical evidence on the interplay between automation and resilience in supply chains. The study's conclusions have important implications for both managerial practice and policymaking: while state-owned and high-tech enterprises should be encouraged to take the lead in robot adoption, firms more broadly can further enhance supply chain resilience by investing in innovation and digital transformation strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a nascent stream of research suggests these assumptions insufficiently account for regulatory environments that are subject to policy enforcement uncertainty. We contribute to programmatic theory concerning NIT by examining firms' responses to coercive yet heterogeneous regulatory environments by studying small- and medium-sized trucking firms' compliance behaviors during a unique natural experiment where some US states postponed enforcement of the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate in the US trucking sector. We find that while firms located in states that postponed enforcement deadlines experienced lower compliance efforts regarding the ELD mandate prior to the initial enforcement date, the impact of being in a postponed enforcement environment became less pronounced once other states began enforcement efforts.

Using survey data from 285 manufacturing firms in Ghana, we find that PSP directly drives SRSC initiatives, while SSP does not. However, supply chain ambidexterity, which balances alignment and adaptability, partially mediates the PSP–SRSC link and fully mediates the SSP–SRSC relationship. The moderation effect of SSP on the path between PSP and SRSC was not supported. This study makes key contributions. First, it highlights manufacturing firms' role in socio-economic development by enhancing productivity while ensuring the welfare of supply chain actors. Second, the distinct effects of stakeholder pressures provide contextual insights and opportunities for theoretical extension. Finally, firms and policymakers must foster an environment where secondary stakeholders, such as the media, can meaningfully influence SRSC agendas.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this editorial study, we find support for the notion that logistics and supply chain management is a genuinely cross-functional profession, as more than half of the 293 executives identified in the original study are now working in other functions. This proliferation of talent can help firms increase supply chain awareness and spread expertise. Further, we find that 44.0% of the logistics and supply chain executives have advanced their hierarchical level, with 10.6% making it to the board level. We show with a panel of new supply chain executives that the six career patterns previously identified still hold. However, the average career spent inside the supply chain area has increased significantly from 12.0% to 20.2%.

Existing literature has predominantly focused on the potential positive impacts of supply chain digitalization (SCD) on supply chain performance.

This study addresses this gap by employing paradox theory to analyze the paradoxical relationship between old specific resources and new specific resources brought by SCD. Econometric methods, panel data from 1440 Chinese listed companies, as well as a text mining approach are used to evaluate the impacts of SCD. This study finds that SCD generates dual effects on enterprises due to resource specificity. Aligning with the majority of existing research, this study confirms the positive impacts of SCD on supply chain capabilities. However, SCD also leads to resource redundancy within firms. The dynamic analysis further reveals that the overall impact of SCD on firm performance is initially nonsignificant but becomes positive over time. The distinctiveness of this study lies in its all-encompassing approach to the effects of SCD by offering a paradoxical perspective.

As an important technology investment input, firms should have a holistic consideration of their level of digital technology adoption, focusing on the entire supply chain. Using empirical evidence from the data of listed companies in China from 2007 to 2022, we find that a higher discrepancy in the level of digital technology adoption between the focal firm and its suppliers and customers negatively affects the focal firm's financial performance. Additionally, the focal firm's own capabilities, including bargaining and innovation capabilities, play a negative moderating role in the impact of digital technology adoption discrepancy, which can mitigate the negative impact of the gap in digital technology adoption between itself and its suppliers and customers on the firm's financial performance. Our findings thus provide implications for firms to implement a “go-together” approach to match their digital technology adoption level with their partners' to synchronize the adoption level of digital technology along the entire supply chain and enhance their negotiation and innovation capabilities to improve their resilience and sustainable development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144135852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
