“…Our results confirm this proposition and show that the SI had a significant impact on all the capabilities considered in the model. Our significant results for the direct influence of SI on SSR are consistent with the previous research (Cui et al, 2023;Mart ın-Rojas et al, 2023;Qi et al, 2022;Siagian et al, 2021). Firms with better visibility of their supplier's processes such as production schedules, available inventories, etc.…”

PurposeThis research study aims to investigate supplier integration's (SI) impact on supply-side resilience (SSR) while considering the intervening role of supplier sustainability and supplier flexibility (SF).Design/methodology/approachGrounded in the dynamic capabilities view (DCV), the study posits that integration of the focal firm with firm's suppliers leads to sustainability on the supplier's side, which makes the firms more flexible to work with during disruptive circumstances, resulting in resilience on the supply side. The hypotheses are tested on the data of 181 manufacturing firm supply chain managers from a developing country.FindingsThe research findings confirmed the hypothesized model suggesting that SI positively impacts SSR. The results also confirm the existence of sequential mediation of supplier sustainability and SF between the SI–SSR relationship.Practical implicationsThe results of this study show that SI is the primary capability for organizations seeking SSR. Furthermore, the supply-side capabilities, to be effective, are developed in a specific order.Originality/valueThis research advances the body of knowledge by identifying the underlying mechanisms through which SI augments SSR.

“…Fourth, it would be interesting to conduct a study that measures supply chain disruption in terms of impact and risk levels (i.e., frequency times impact) as these operationalizations of the construct may provide additional insights into the link between improvisation and resilience (Ambulkar et al, 2015; Qi et al, 2022). We encourage further research that broadens our conceptualization of supply chain disruptions as threats to businesses by exploring how differences in the interpretation of such events by supply chain managers determine which improvisation type they activate (Bode et al, 2011).…”

“…A longitudinal research design or a natural experiment could address these concerns (Rindfleisch et al, 2008). Such a design would require (1) an analysis of resilience and its antecedents in specific disruptive situations and (2) the availability of secondary data that objectively capture the variables of interest (see Buyl et al, 2019; Li et al, 2022; Qi et al, 2022). In addition, our sample comprises SMEs in a developing country, and we could not access objective data to minimize common method bias.…”

The need to improvise during supply chain disruptions to enhance operational resilience is ever more critical. Yet, managers appear to lack an understanding of how and when improvisation matters. We apply the conservation of resources theory to conceptualize how firms activate spontaneous and creative improvisation during supply chain disruptions and theorize how that relates to operational resilience in low and high supply chain disruption conditions. We test our arguments on primary data from a sample of 259 firms in Ghana. We find that creative improvisation has a positive relationship with operational resilience, and this relationship is stronger in high supply chain disruption conditions. Spontaneous improvisation, on the contrary, is unrelated to operational resilience in both low and high supply chain disruption conditions. These findings indicate that not all types of improvisation contribute to operational resilience, suggesting the need for a nuanced approach to theorizing and applying the improvisation concept in supply chains.

“…In “Developing supply chain resilience through integration: An empirical study on an e‐commerce platform” (Qi et al, 2023), the authors developed a framework that described the impact on supply chain resilience of process and activity integration between an e‐commerce platform and suppliers. An analysis of data from a Chinese e‐commerce platform found that integration between the e‐commerce platform and suppliers in terms of information sharing, joint planning, and logistics cooperation had positive impact on supply chain resilience, while procurement automation had the opposite effect.…”
