“…Therefore, this research seeks to investigate how firms react and adapt when confronted with unforeseen events that impact performance [9]. Previous studies have emphasized the significance of implementing ad hoc plans and measures to mitigate the substantial performance decrease during disruptive events, particularly within SCs [13,14]. Differently from those studies, this research investigates how the performance resistance to disruptions enabled the adoption of strategies and initiatives.…”

Background: Business continuity entails the potential negative consequences of uncertainty on a firm’s ability to achieve strategic objectives. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted business continuity due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social distancing measures. Consequently, firms adopted specific supply chain (SC) practices to effectively navigate this global crisis. Methods: This research adopted a stochastic approach based on Bayesian Networks to evaluate the implications of business continuity on firms’ decisions to embrace SC practices, focusing on omnichannel strategies, SC coordination, and technologies such as artificial intelligence systems, big data and machine learning, and mobile applications. Results: Our findings revealed that firms facing disruption in a single performance area can apply specific strategies to maintain resilience. However, multiple areas of underperformance necessitate a varied approach. Conclusions: According to our empirical analysis, omnichannel strategies are critical when disruptions simultaneously impact quality, inventory, sales, and ROI, particularly during major disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. AI and big data become vital when multiple risks coalesce, enhancing areas such as customer service and supply chain visibility. Moreover, supply chain coordination and mobile app adoption are effective against individual performance risks, proving crucial in mitigating disruption impacts across various business aspects. These findings help policy-makers and business owners to have a better understanding of how business continuity based on performance resistance to disruptions pushes companies to adopt different practices including new technologies and supply chain coordination. Accordingly, they can use the outputs of this study to devise strategies for improving resilience considering their supply chain vulnerabilities.

“…Ref. [14] provides empirical evidence that comprehensive risk management enhances resilience, measured by the ability to adjust and sustain operations post-disruption. This study filled a research gap in operational risk management for resilience, focusing on technologies, SC coordination, and omnichannel approaches.…”

“…It starts by enlarging the scope of organization theory by considering all the coexisting organizations as a single entity. A similar view applies to the resource orchestration theory in terms of bundling the well-implemented and poorly-implemented attributes to identify potential collaborations that could strengthen the weaker links while also gaining mutual benefit through learning (El Baz et al , 2023). It also views the ideas of social network theory (Gnyawali et al , 2006), dynamic capabilities theory (M’Chirgui, 2005) and game theory (Ritala and Sainio, 2014) from a multi-organizational collaboration perspective.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore supply chain resilience (SCR) and provides a unique resilience index. The work measures the resilience status of 37 organizations across 22 industries and provides insight into accessing the supply chain (SC) vulnerability in an uncertain environment. Design/methodology/approach This study involves measuring the resilience status of 37 organizations across 22 industries based on a subjective decision-making approach using fuzzy logic. Experts from industries rated the importance and level of implementation of 33 attributes of SCR, which are used to develop a fuzzy index of implementation that explains the resilience status of organizations. Findings A novel coexistent resilience index is computed based on mutualism to exhibit the proportion of contribution or learning of each attribute of an organization in an industry. The research will enhance the response plans and formation of strategic alliances for mutual coexistence by industry. Research limitations/implications Evidence-based interpretations and suggestions are provided for each industry to enhance resilience through coexistence. Originality/value The work uniquely contributes to academic literature and SC strategy. The novel coexistent resilience index is computed based on mutualism, facilitating researchers to access SC resiliency.

“…Accordingly, ROT highlights the systematic approach to structuring resource collections, combining them into configurations and finally leveraging the configurations for firm performance (Burin et al, 2020; Saccani et al, 2023). ROT is fast becoming a theory of choice for supply chain researchers in areas such as supply chain integration (Liu et al, 2016), lean and green supply chain (Feng et al, 2018), supply chain transparency (Gligor et al, 2022), supply chain flexibility (Burin et al, 2020), supply chain resilience and robustness (Eel baz et al, 2023), product launch performance (Jenkins et al, 2023), supply networks (Skipworth et al, 2023), circular supply chain (Saccani et al, 2023) and green purchasing (Kwabena Anin et al, 2023).…”

Harnessing the value of procurement knowledge and practices for firm performance: A resource orchestration perspective

Although the role of procurement knowledge and practices in securing a competitive advantage for firms cannot be over‐emphasised, the literature lacks empirical evidence in this regard. Accordingly, this study examines the effects of procurement knowledge and practices on firm performance as well as how procurement practices mediate the nexus between procurement knowledge and firm performance. Partial least squares structural equation modelling results based on survey data of 150 procurement and supply chain professionals suggest that procurement planning, supplier partnership, contract management and compliance increase firm performance. Also, a positive relationship was established between procurement knowledge and all procurement practices investigated. Furthermore, apart from procurement planning, the remaining procurement practices fully mediated the effect of procurement knowledge on firm performance. Findings provide relevant implications for theory and practice.
