“…Scholars often use the TOE framework to study how the existing state of the three elements influence and/or are influenced in the process of adopting and implementing and implementation of a given phenomenon (Kouhizadeh et al , 2021; Baker, 2012; Tornatzky et al , 1990). In RBV-grounded studies, scholars tend to frequently apply the TOE framework to understand barriers and enablers of a given technological trend, such as determinants of mobile-business use and value (Picoto et al , 2014), drivers of IT-enablement (Wu and Chiu, 2015), determinants of ERP use and value for small and medium manufacturing and services firms (Ruivo et al , 2016; Jayeola et al , 2020), drivers for business analytics adoption (Kumar et al , 2020). The application of the TOE framework from an RDT perspective requires further development and this study builds on that relationship.…”

PurposeUsing the resource-based and the resource dependence theoretical approaches of the firm, the paper explores firm responses to supply chain disruptions during COVID-19. The paper explores how firms develop localization, agility and digitization (L-A-D) capabilities by applying (or not applying) their critical circular economy (CE) and blockchain technology (BCT)-related resources and capabilities that they either already possess or acquire from external agents.Design/methodology/approachAn abductive approach, applying exploratory qualitative research was conducted over a sample of 24 firms. The sample represented different industries to study their critical BCT and CE resources and capabilities and the L-A-D capabilities. Firm resources and capabilities were classified using the technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework.FindingsFindings show significant patterns on adoption levels of the blockchain-enabled circular economy system (BCES) and L-A-D capability development. The greater the BCES adoption capabilities, the greater the L-A-D capabilities. Organizational size and industry both influence the relationship between BCES and L-A-D. Accordingly, research propositions and a research framework are proposed.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the limited sample size, the generalizability of the findings is limited. Our findings extend supply chain resiliency research. A series of propositions provide opportunities for future research. The resource-based view and resource-dependency theories are useful frameworks to better understanding the relationship between firm resources and supply chain resilience.Practical implicationsThe results and discussion of this study serve as useful guidance for practitioners to create CE and BCT resources and capabilities for improving supply chain resiliency.Social implicationsThe study shows the socio-economic and socio-environmental importance of BCES in the COVID-19 or similar crises.Originality/valueThe study is one of the initial attempts that highlights the possibilities of BCES across multiple industries and their value during pandemics and disruptions.
