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}

Finally, we conclude with a brief discussion of a growing concern whereby excessive demands from another key party in the paper development process—reviewers—actually encourage the presenter's paradox to arise by forcing authors to add material that undermines the overall quality of the end product.

We use survey data from 408 Portuguese manufacturing firms and employ a mixed-method approach encompassing structural equation modeling (SEM), fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), and necessary condition analysis (NCA) to test our hypotheses. The results from SEM underscore the positive effect of supply chain digitalization on enhancing triple-A capabilities, with alignment and adaptability serving as significant mediators, while agility does not. The fsQCA identifies three alternative configurations of digitalization and triple-A capabilities that firms use to achieve resilience, providing evidence for joint effects. Additionally, NCA identifies supply chain alignment as a necessary condition for resilience. Our findings contribute to supply chain management research by characterizing how the interplay between digitalization and triple-A capabilities fosters resilience, offering practical insights for managers seeking to prioritize investments in digitally enabled capabilities.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919624","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}

This study analyzed different BC systems in 11 principal–agent dyads within one food supply network. Each dyad is composed of a consortium of fruit producers and packers (the principal) and a supply network actor (the agent). Inspired by agency theory, this research associates BC system design choices with levels of system trust (trust in the technology) that are consistent with the risk level of ex-post opportunism. Compared to previous studies, a new studying perspective regarding the concept of ‘BC trust’ arises. Starting from technology–organization–environment (TOE) theory, this paper also offers an interpretation of how TOE factors intervene in the adoption of different BC systems by agents. By distinguishing between different BC systems, it offers a diverse perspective in grounding TOE in BC research.

More importantly, it serves as a catalyst for corporate sustainable development (SD). However, a pressing question remains unanswered: Can corporates effectively align the resources, capabilities, and competitive advantages of SCF with SD, especially when bolstered by digital transition (DT)? Drawing on information asymmetry and synergy theory, this study reveals the intricate mechanisms through which SCF influences corporate SD and highlights the financial and supply chain effects, as well as the moderating role of DT. Leveraging the generalized method of moments, we conduct a rigorous empirical analysis using data from A-share listed companies spanning 2010–2021. Our findings robustly affirm that SCF significantly propels corporate SD, and this conclusion is reinforced by extensive robustness checks and endogeneity analyses. Delving deeper, we establish that SCF not only alleviates financing constraints but also enhances relationship embedding, thereby driving SD. Notably, these pathways exhibit marked variations across different types of enterprises. Intriguingly, our research further reveals that advancements in corporate DT amplify the positive impact of SCF on SD, while also augmenting the financial and supply chain effects of SCF. These insights not only offer a novel lens for evaluating the economic ramifications of SCF but also provide compelling empirical evidence that SCF, when synergized with DT, becomes a powerful enabler of corporate SD. Our findings are of considerable significance for sustainable business practices in the digital age.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905220","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}

This research explores how the occurrence of supply shocks moderates the impact that manufacturing firms' new orders have on manufacturing production, recruitment of workers, and suppliers' lead times. We extend the theory regarding firms' responses to supply shocks to explain why increases in new orders will have a less pronounced effect on production and employment, but a greater impact on supplier lead times during periods of pronounced shortage. To test our theory, we assemble a unique archival dataset that melds the Report on Business—Manufacturing (PMI) data from the ISM with the Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization to obtain measures of shortages.
