Abstract

The global COVID-19 outbreak has led to significant challenges for supply chain management, while insights on how to configure the supply chain network to respond to this crisis are limited. Therefore, the present research extends the understanding of supply chain resilience by investigating whether supply chain concentration has influenced the shock of COVID-19 on firm performance. This study assesses four sub-dimensions of supply chain concentration: supplier, customer, product, and region. Based on a large-scale sample of Chinese listed manufacturing firms, we employed a difference-in-difference approach to investigate whether supply chain concentration ameliorated or exacerbated the shock of COVID-19. The results indicate that treatment groups (firms with lower supplier, customer, product, and region concentration) have experienced a considerably more significant performance deterioration than control firms. Overall, this study paves the way for future research and offers vital insights into the redesign of supply chains in response to COVID-19 and similar crises. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

保持专注，继续前行:面对新冠疫情，重新设计供应链集中度

全球新冠肺炎疫情给供应链管理带来了重大挑战，而关于如何配置供应链网络以应对这场危机的见解有限。因此，本研究通过调查供应链集中度是否影响了新冠肺炎对企业绩效的冲击，扩展了对供应链弹性的理解。本研究评估了供应链集中度的四个子维度：供应商、客户、产品和地区。基于中国上市制造企业的大规模样本，我们采用了一种差异方法来调查供应链集中度是否改善或加剧了新冠肺炎的冲击。结果表明，与对照公司相比，处理组（供应商、客户、产品和地区集中度较低的公司）经历了显著的绩效恶化。总体而言，这项研究为未来的研究铺平了道路，并为应对新冠肺炎和类似危机而重新设计供应链提供了重要见解。©2023 Informa UK Limited，交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world. As a result the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. In this context the term "logistics" is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain.
