Abstract

This study explores the application of formal metaphorical transfer to construct theory regarding supply chain resilience, a topic of increased significance due to rising supply chain disruptions. We propose an ecological resilience perspective to illuminate the complex, dynamic nature of supply chain systems. Our research pivots around two questions: (1) Can the resilience of endotherms (warm-blooded animals) serve as a conceptually robust source phenomenon for metaphorical transfer to the study of supply chain resilience? (2) What theory-based principles can be derived from this metaphor to enhance our understanding of supply chain resilience? After rigorously establishing the conceptual equivalence between endotherm resilience and supply chain resilience, we identify a set of theory-based principles that provide insights into the evolving field of supply chain resilience. These principles help illuminate the adaptive and predictive dimensions of supply chain resilience. This paper contributes to theory building in operations management and supply chain management while suggesting new avenues for future research.

快讯：作为内热复原力的供应链复原力：通过隐喻转移实现理论化

本研究探讨了形式隐喻转移在供应链复原力理论构建中的应用，由于供应链中断的不断增加，供应链复原力成为一个日益重要的主题。我们提出了一种生态复原力视角，以阐明供应链系统的复杂性和动态性。我们的研究围绕两个问题展开：(1) 内温动物（温血动物）的复原力能否作为一种概念上强大的源现象，用于供应链复原力研究的隐喻转移？(2) 从这一隐喻中可以得出哪些基于理论的原则，以增强我们对供应链复原力的理解？在严格确定了内热复原力与供应链复原力之间的概念等同性之后，我们确定了一系列基于理论的原则，这些原则为不断发展的供应链复原力领域提供了启示。这些原则有助于阐明供应链复原力的适应性和预测性维度。本文为运营管理和供应链管理的理论建设做出了贡献，同时也为未来的研究提出了新的途径。
