Purpose

This paper aims to explore factors influencing suppliers' acceptance, integration challenges, expected benefits and support from customers when implementing a customer-introduced digital supply chain system.

Design/methodology/approach

The study investigates the perspective of suppliers using a mixed methodology approach that combines qualitative interviews with a large-scale quantitative survey conducted among 220 internationally located suppliers of an automotive-industrial firm.

Findings

As a result, the authors identified 11 factors that drive suppliers' acceptance of customer-introduced digital supply chain systems. These factors have been ranked based on their importance. The top three important factors identified were the digital system being provided at no cost to the suppliers, the system's ability to save time and the system offering benefits to the suppliers.

Research limitations/implications

Further research can be conducted to validate the perspective of suppliers in other industries. Additionally, future studies can investigate the effectiveness of fulfilling these acceptance factors within an actual digital integration setup.

Practical implications

Companies can leverage these insights to accelerate their digital supply chain integration efforts. The insights on acceptance factors, challenges, benefits and support expected by suppliers can serve as a valuable guide for policy and decision makers within the industry.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is among the first to investigate the perspective of suppliers in the integration of a customer's digital supply chain. By including the supplier's perspective, this study makes a significant contribution to the academic literature about supply chain digitalisation.

本文旨在探讨在实施客户引入的数字化供应链系统时,影响供应商接受度、整合挑战、预期收益和客户支持的因素。研究采用混合方法,结合定性访谈和大规模定量调查,从供应商的角度对一家汽车工业公司的 220 名国际供应商进行了调查。这些因素根据其重要性进行了排序。排在前三位的重要因素分别是:数字系统免费提供给供应商、系统能够节省时间以及系统能给供应商带来好处。此外,未来的研究还可以调查在实际的数字集成设置中满足这些接受因素的有效性。实际意义企业可以利用这些见解来加快其数字供应链集成工作。据作者所知,本研究是首次从供应商的角度研究客户数字供应链整合问题。通过纳入供应商的视角,本研究为有关供应链数字化的学术文献做出了重要贡献。

Purpose

In response to multiple disruptions, the purchasing supply management (PSM) function in construction supply chain management (CSCM) has gained prominence due to stakeholder pressures, dynamic market conditions and the need to adhere to complex sustainability, safety and health regulations and standards. However, there is a noticeable absence of empirical research on measuring and mitigating PSM vulnerabilities, especially considering the distinct challenges faced by large engineer-to-order project-oriented manufacturers. To address these issues, the purpose of this study is to develop and test a novel method to assist companies in construction supply chains in assessing and managing risks associated with sustainable procuring and sourcing materials.

Design/methodology/approach

Grounded in the literature gaps on construction PSM and a real case supply chain, the research uses the design science research (DSR) approach to develop an integrated method for assessing PSM strategies in this sector. The method integrates three essential purchasing dimensions: supply risks, profit impact and sustainability risks of materials, supported by nine subdimensions. Empirical validation took place within a multinational European construction company based in Denmark.

Findings

Findings from the supplier–buyer relationships confirmed that the developed method allows for the identification of the key components that significantly impact supplier–buyer relationships, profitability and sustainability. The research further suggests that construction supply chain managers and purchasing practitioners can use the proposed method to evaluate PSM, thus enabling them to make more informed decisions.

Practical implications

Through the utilization of the proposed artifact, construction companies can take a more proactive approach to address PSM uncertainties, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in dynamic construction supply chains.

Originality/value

The research contributes to bridging the theory and practice, providing valuable assistance for construction companies assessing and managing the PSM and supply risks within global construction value chains. This paper provides original insights for the CSCM, aiding in adopting competitive PSM strategies to improve overall supply chain performance.

目的 由于利益相关者的压力、动态的市场条件以及遵守复杂的可持续发展、安全和健康法规和标准的需要,建筑供应链管理(CSCM)中的采购供应管理(PSM)功能在应对多重干扰方面日益突出。然而,有关衡量和减轻 PSM 脆弱性的实证研究明显不足,特别是考虑到以工程订单为导向的大型项目制造商所面临的独特挑战。为了解决这些问题,本研究的目的是开发和测试一种新方法,以帮助建筑供应链中的公司评估和管理与可持续采购和采购材料相关的风险。设计/方法/途径基于建筑 PSM 方面的文献空白和一个真实的供应链案例,本研究采用设计科学研究(DSR)方法开发了一种用于评估该行业 PSM 战略的综合方法。该方法整合了三个基本采购维度:供应风险、利润影响和材料的可持续性风险,并辅以九个子维度。从供应商与买方的关系中得出的结论证实,所开发的方法可以识别出对供应商与买方的关系、盈利能力和可持续性产生重大影响的关键要素。研究进一步表明,建筑供应链经理和采购从业人员可以使用所提出的方法来评估 PSM,从而使他们能够做出更加明智的决策。通过使用所提出的工具,建筑公司可以采取更加积极的方法来应对 PSM 的不确定性,从而提高他们在动态建筑供应链中的竞争力。本文为 CSCM 提供了新颖的见解,有助于采用有竞争力的 PSM 战略,提高供应链的整体绩效。

Purpose

Supply chains are increasingly incorporating social perspectives into their activities. It is often argued that social initiatives in supply chain management (SCM) are a response to external pressures. However, it is still undetermined whether these initiatives can improve economic performance. Additionally, it is proposed that digital transformation in supply chains, also described as Smart Supply Chain, can support social performance. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the association between digital transformation, social performance in SCM and economic performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The study is based on a survey of 473 companies in Brazil, a country where social needs create high pressures on companies to respond to the country’s challenges. The data collected underwent testing using ordinary least squares regression and bootstrapping techniques to examine the mediation effects between Smart Supply Chain, social performance and economic performance.

Findings

The findings indicate that digital transformation supports social performance. Additionally, adopting social initiatives helps to increase firm performance in the context of an emerging economy, while social initiatives mediate between digital transformation and firm performance.

Originality/value

This paper provides a new perspective on the social side of supply chains by demonstrating the close relationship between digital transformation and social engagement initiatives. It argues that aligning digital transformation strategies and technologies with social performance is crucial for companies to establish stronger connections with stakeholders.

目的供应链越来越多地将社会视角纳入其活动中。人们通常认为,供应链管理(SCM)中的社会倡议是对外部压力的一种回应。然而,这些举措是否能提高经济效益,目前仍无定论。此外,有人提出,供应链中的数字化转型(也被称为智能供应链)可以支持社会绩效。因此,本研究旨在分析数字化转型、供应链管理中的社会绩效和经济绩效之间的关联。本研究基于对巴西 473 家公司的调查,在巴西,社会需求给公司带来了很大压力,要求它们应对国家的挑战。收集到的数据使用普通最小二乘法回归和引导技术进行了检验,以考察智能供应链、社会绩效和经济绩效之间的中介效应。此外,在新兴经济背景下,采用社会倡议有助于提高企业绩效,而社会倡议则是数字化转型与企业绩效之间的中介。本文认为,将数字化转型战略和技术与社会绩效相结合对于企业与利益相关者建立更紧密的联系至关重要。

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate how firms can enhance their resilience in response to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the study focuses on assessing responsiveness as an antecedent and logistics outsourcing as a boundary condition to resilience.

Design/methodology/approach

Survey data collected from 286 manufacturing firms in Finland during 2021 are analysed to examine the relationships between supply chain responsiveness, logistics outsourcing and resilience.

Findings

Firm responsiveness is found to improve resilience, while an increasing level of logistics outsourcing weakens this relationship. Surprisingly, geographic dispersion does not significantly affect supply chain responsiveness.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations of the study include the focus on manufacturing firms in Finland and the reliance on survey data. Future research could explore additional factors influencing resilience and consider a broader range of industries and geographical regions.

Practical implications

The findings offer valuable insights for managers seeking to enhance their firms’ resilience in the face of disruptions. By understanding the importance of responsiveness and the potential drawbacks of excessive logistics outsourcing, managers can make informed decisions to improve their firms’ ability to cope with unexpected challenges.

Originality/value

This research contributes to the understanding of resilience in supply chain disruptions by addressing fundamental questions related to efficiency, responsiveness, control and complexity. By examining the interplay between responsiveness, logistics outsourcing and resilience, the study enriches the understanding of how firms can effectively navigate unexpected challenges.

目的 本文旨在研究企业如何提高其应对 COVID-19 大流行所造成破坏的复原力。设计/方法/途径分析了 2021 年期间从芬兰 286 家制造企业收集的调查数据,以研究供应链响应能力、物流外包和抗灾能力之间的关系。研究结果发现,企业响应能力可提高抗灾能力,而物流外包水平的提高则会削弱这种关系。令人惊讶的是,地理上的分散并没有对供应链响应能力产生重大影响。研究局限性/启示本研究的局限性包括研究重点是芬兰的制造业企业,以及对调查数据的依赖。未来的研究可以探讨影响应变能力的其他因素,并考虑更广泛的行业和地理区域。通过了解响应能力的重要性和过度物流外包的潜在弊端,管理者可以做出明智的决策,提高企业应对突发挑战的能力。原创性/价值这项研究通过解决与效率、响应能力、控制和复杂性相关的基本问题,有助于理解供应链中断中的恢复能力。通过研究响应能力、物流外包和应变能力之间的相互作用,本研究丰富了人们对企业如何有效应对突发挑战的理解。

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act: impacts on sustainable supply chain management from a stakeholder perspective 德国供应链尽职调查法:从利益相关者角度看对可持续供应链管理的影响
Pub Date : 2024-07-25 DOI: 10.1108/scm-01-2024-0058

Purpose

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (GSCDDA), as a comprehensive regulation for due diligence in supply chains, will exert profound pressure on companies’ sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). This study aims to examine the affected stakeholders’ polarizing expectations stemming from the GSCDDA, the resulting impacts on SSCM and how these findings compare with theoretical SSCM developments.

Design/methodology/approach

From 5,490 GSCDDA posts on X (formerly “Twitter”), the authors extracted 556 qualitative posts illustrating the GSCDDA discourse and analyzed them from a stakeholder perspective. The posts were classified according to the dimensions of stakeholder groups and expectations (i.e. challenges and opportunities). The authors then synthesized the posts across these dimensions and compared the identified expectations with the SSCM literature.

Findings

Seven stakeholder groups were identified, along with nine challenges (e.g. legal flaws) and four opportunities (e.g. increased transparency). The synthesis of both components revealed highly discussed and conflicting expectations. The theoretical SSCM developments partly differ from the discourse, indicating discernible gaps between theory and practice

Practical implications

Identifying key stakeholder groups supports building synergies between GSCDDA implementers and stakeholders to tackle their challenges and reinforce opportunities.

Originality/value

Due to the growing prevalence of supply chain due diligence regulations, it is essential to consider the legal implications for SSCM. This study explores the link between due diligence concepts and SSCM, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to analyze how legal pressure shapes stakeholders’ expectations on companies’ SSCM.

目的《德国供应链尽职调查法》(GSCDDA)作为供应链尽职调查的综合法规,将对企业的可持续供应链管理(SSCM)产生深远的压力。本研究旨在探讨受影响的利益相关者对 GSCDDA 的两极化预期、由此对 SSCM 产生的影响,以及这些研究结果与 SSCM 理论发展的比较。这些帖子按照利益相关者群体和期望(即挑战和机遇)的维度进行了分类。然后,作者综合了这些维度的帖子,并将确定的期望与 SSCM 文献进行了比较。研究结果确定了七个利益相关者群体,以及九个挑战(如法律缺陷)和四个机遇(如提高透明度)。对这两部分内容的综合分析表明,人们的期望既有高度讨论,也有相互冲突之处。由于供应链尽职调查法规日益普及,考虑 SSCM 的法律影响至关重要。本研究探讨了尽职调查概念与 SSCM 之间的联系,据作者所知,这是第一项分析法律压力如何影响利益相关者对公司 SSCM 的期望的研究。

Impacts of blockchain technology in agrifood: exploring the interplay between transactions and firms’ strategic resources 区块链技术在农业食品领域的影响:探索交易与企业战略资源之间的相互作用

Purpose

Despite the growing interest in blockchain technology (BCT) applications in the agri-food industry, evidence of their economic and strategic implications remains scarce. This study aims to contribute to filling this gap by jointly investigating how BCT adoption affects transactional relationships, and how it contributes to the firm’s strategic resources.

Design/methodology/approach

An explanatory case study is conducted based on a theoretical framework grounded on transaction cost economics and the resource-based-dynamic capabilities view. Six BCT implementations by agri-food firms are studied. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings

Findings reveal that BCT benefits depend on how companies integrate technology across their supply chains. In fact, the results suggest that overall transaction efficiency within the supply chain is enhanced only for those firms prioritising stakeholder engagement during technology implementation and leveraging existing trust relationships with economic agents. Moreover, the results suggest that BCT is not yet perceived as a strategic resource, but rather that it has the potential to enhance firms’ operational-adaptive, absorptive and innovative capabilities. When all supply chain actors clearly understand blockchain’s functionality and value, the development of these capabilities becomes more pronounced.

Practical implications

The study identifies two BCT adoption configurations. One primarily focuses on enhancing supply chain efficiency and transparency (dynamic BCT), while the other uses BCT mainly for marketing purposes (static BCT). These configurations lead to varied possibilities for leveraging BCT’s potential advantages. Furthermore, they show how a mismatch between a strategic approach and its chosen configuration could work against any positive impact and lead to disillusionment with the BCT. Thus, managers should assess carefully the impact of such different configuration choices on performance.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to attempt to analyse the economic implications of adopting BCT in the food sector from both a firm and supply chain perspective. Additionally, it shows how interpreting these impacts is contingent on the diverse modalities for embedding BCT into existing supply chains.

目的尽管人们对区块链技术(BCT)在农业食品行业的应用越来越感兴趣,但有关其经济和战略影响的证据仍然很少。本研究旨在通过联合调查区块链技术的应用如何影响交易关系,以及区块链技术如何促进企业的战略资源,为填补这一空白做出贡献。设计/方法/途径基于交易成本经济学和基于资源的动态能力观点的理论框架,开展了一项解释性案例研究。研究了六家农业食品公司实施 BCT 的情况。研究结果研究结果表明,业连管的效益取决于企业如何在其供应链中整合技术。事实上,研究结果表明,只有那些在技术实施过程中优先考虑利益相关者参与并利用与经济主体的现有信任关系的企业,才能提高供应链内的整体交易效率。此外,结果表明,BCT 还没有被视为一种战略资源,相反,它有可能提高企业的运营适应能力、吸收能力和创新能力。当所有供应链参与者都清楚地了解区块链的功能和价值时,这些能力的发展就会变得更加明显。一种主要侧重于提高供应链效率和透明度(动态 BCT),另一种则主要将 BCT 用于营销目的(静态 BCT)。这些配置为利用 BCT 的潜在优势提供了各种可能性。此外,它们还表明,战略方法与其所选配置之间的不匹配可能会产生任何积极影响,并导致对业连管的失望。原创性/价值 据作者所知,这是首次尝试从企业和供应链两个角度分析在食品行业采用 BCT 所带来的经济影响的研究。此外,它还说明了如何解释这些影响取决于将业连管嵌入现有供应链的各种模式。

Purpose

This study aims to introduce a multilevel micro-foundational perspective on supply chain (SC) ambidexterity, grounded in organizational learning and adaptation research. It investigates the interplay of contextual factors, strategic orientation and a bundle of supply chain management practices to foster ambidextrous performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Leveraging a blend of perceptual and objective data and measures, this study explores the intricacies of macro and micro factors at multiple levels, offering empirical support for the research framework. The interrelationships among these factors are scrutinized through three analytical approaches: selection, interaction and system forms of interdependence analysis.

Findings

First, the authors offer empirical support for their conceptual model, illustrating that ambidexterity behavior and outcomes in the SC emanate from intricate interactions between macro and micro factors across various levels. Second, the authors present robust empirical evidence endorsing a system/gestalt form of interdependence analysis in capturing SC ambidexterity and performance. This analytical approach effectively captures the complementarity and contradictory interdependence among the opposing poles of efficiency and responsiveness.

Originality/value

The organizational and SC activity configuration faces numerous paradoxical tensions, such as profitability versus sustainability. This study offers valuable insights into establishing an ambidextrous system capable of navigating and addressing these paradoxical situations.

目的本研究以组织学习和适应研究为基础,旨在从多层次的微观基础角度探讨供应链(SC)的灵活性。本研究利用感知和客观数据及测量方法,从多个层面探讨了错综复杂的宏观和微观因素,为研究框架提供了实证支持。研究结果首先,作者为其概念模型提供了实证支持,说明自然科学中的灵活性行为和结果源于不同层面的宏观和微观因素之间错综复杂的相互作用。其次,作者提出了有力的实证证据,支持以系统/gestalt 形式的相互依存分析来捕捉自然科学的灵活性和绩效。这种分析方法有效地捕捉到了效率和响应能力这对对立两极之间的互补性和相互依存的矛盾性。本研究为建立一个能够驾驭和解决这些矛盾情况的双向系统提供了宝贵的见解。

How does strategic agenda building affect valuation of supply resources and sourcing policies? A case from the food industry 战略议程建设如何影响供应资源评估和采购政策?食品行业案例
Pub Date : 2024-07-09 DOI: 10.1108/scm-05-2023-0271

Purpose

Business strategy issues increasingly concern value realized from supply resources. However, how supply resources are valorized by managerial factions in a strategic issue setting is not sufficiently explored. In organizations operating in complex business contexts, several strategic agendas and supply value perceptions typically coexist. This study aims to explore the process of developing corporate attention towards supply-related strategic issues and how it links to sourcing strategy.

Design/methodology/approach

An explorative longitudinal case study within the food industry is conducted. Data are collected in a four year period. Working physically from the case company made it possible to be close to the company’s actors. The first author participated in 26 formal team meetings ranging from 1.5 h to 3 days long, conducted 28 interviews across managerial levels and functions and participated in informal verbal and written communications.

Findings

This study explores strategizing efforts of organizations and scrutinize consequences of strategic ambiguity for sourcing strategy and supply resources. Furthermore, this study outlines implications for management and theory development.

Research limitations/implications

Since this paper is based on an in-depth single case study, its findings are not empirically generalizable.

Practical implications

This paper suggests that managers should pay stronger attention to constituents’ valuation of supply resources, and how they fit with the different strategic agendas within the firm. By doing so, a more comprehensive supply resource mobilization is possible.

Originality/value

Business strategy research increasingly focuses on the value of supply resources for a buying firm’s business strategy (Kotabe and Murray 2018; Lee and Rammohan 2017; Schiele, Calvi, and Gibbert 2012). In a context where the value obtained from sourcing is gaining increased importance, more organizations link supply policies with corporate strategic goals (Andersen, Ellegaard, and Kragh 2016; Hesping and Schiele 2015; Pardo et al., 2011). However, existing supply chain research does not incorporate an organization’s strategizing efforts, when considering supply resource valuation, and how this can be a source of ambiguity to sourcing strategy. The is the paper’s contribution.

目的 企业战略问题越来越多地涉及从供应资源中实现价值的问题。然而,在战略问题的背景下,管理派别如何评价供应资源的价值却没有得到充分的探讨。在复杂商业环境下运营的组织中,通常会同时存在多个战略议程和供应价值认知。本研究旨在探讨企业对供应相关战略问题的关注度的发展过程,以及它与采购战略之间的联系。数据收集期为四年。由于是在案例公司工作,因此有可能接近公司的参与者。第一作者参加了 26 次长达 1.5 小时至 3 天的正式团队会议,进行了 28 次跨管理级别和职能部门的访谈,并参与了非正式的口头和书面交流。 研究结果本研究探讨了组织的战略制定工作,并仔细研究了战略模糊性对采购战略和供应资源的影响。此外,本研究还概述了对管理和理论发展的启示。研究局限/影响由于本文是基于一项深入的单一案例研究,因此其结论不具有经验普遍性。通过这样做,可以更全面地调动供应资源。原创性/价值商业战略研究越来越关注供应资源对购买公司商业战略的价值(Kotabe 和 Murray,2018 年;Lee 和 Rammohan,2017 年;Schiele、Calvi 和 Gibbert,2012 年)。在采购获得的价值越来越重要的背景下,越来越多的组织将供应政策与企业战略目标联系起来(Andersen、Ellegaard 和 Kragh,2016 年;Hesping 和 Schiele,2015 年;Pardo 等人,2011 年)。然而,现有的供应链研究在考虑供应资源估值时,并没有将组织的战略努力纳入其中,也没有考虑这如何成为采购战略模糊性的来源。这就是本文的贡献所在。

Good team players? The impact of team member knowledge, skills and abilities on sourcing teamwork and sourcing task-work effectiveness 优秀的团队成员?团队成员的知识、技能和能力对采购团队合作和采购任务工作效率的影响
Pub Date : 2024-07-04 DOI: 10.1108/scm-10-2023-0529

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to enhance understanding of the use of sourcing teams (STs) by organisations in their procurement and supply chain management. The paper achieves this by exploring, within the context of the supply chain directorate of a global aerospace manufacturing company (GAMC), both the relationship between sourcing teamwork effectiveness (TE) and sourcing task-work effectiveness (TA) and the relationship between individual team member knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) and TE.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors develop a theoretical model positing positive links between both KSAs and TE and TE and TA. The model is empirically validated using partial least squares structural equation modelling in a survey of 108 ST members from a GAMC.

Findings

The authors identify that, within GAMC, four of five KSAs drive TE and further discover the direct effects of TE on improved TA. Additionally, the authors observe within GAMC the indirect effects of KSAs on TA cascading through TE.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations include the use of a single firm and self-report measures for data collection. In spite of this, the paper has numerous research implications. Previous research on STs has combined factors related to TE and TA. In this paper, TE and TA were disaggregated, and the relationships between them were explored. The relationships were found to be positive within GAMC, a finding that strengthens the evidence base supporting the use of STs by organisations in their procurement and supply chain management. In addition, the paper also strengthened the evidence base regarding the importance of KSAs to TE, which complements existing research highlighting the importance of team-level factors and individual technical attributes.

Practical implications

The findings from GAMC suggest that executives/managers should take an individual as well as a team-level perspective when developing STs and should consider KSAs as well as technical knowledge when judging individuals’ suitability for inclusion within an ST. There are established KSA tests in the literature that could be used by managers for this task. The findings also inform executives/managers that TE matters for TA and needs attention and investment, especially where sourcing tasks concern high-value areas and/or critical incidents within supply chains.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to explore the relationship between TE and TA. Establishing that this relationship is a positive one provides critically important evidence regarding the efficacy of STs, which are widely used within procurement and supply chain management. It is also a rare study looking at TE from the perspective of individual team member K

目的 本文旨在加深对企业在采购和供应链管理中使用采购团队(ST)的理解。为实现这一目标,本文以一家全球航空航天制造公司(GAMC)的供应链主管为背景,探讨了采购团队工作有效性(TE)与采购任务工作有效性(TA)之间的关系,以及团队成员个人的知识、技能和能力(KSA)与采购团队工作有效性之间的关系。在对一家 GAMC 的 108 名 ST 成员进行的调查中,使用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型对该模型进行了实证验证。研究结果作者发现,在 GAMC 中,五项 KSA 中的四项推动了 TE,并进一步发现了 TE 对 TA 改善的直接影响。此外,作者还在 GAMC 内部观察到 KSA 通过 TE 对 TA 产生的间接影响。研究局限性/启示局限性包括使用单一公司和自我报告措施收集数据。尽管如此,本文仍具有许多研究意义。以往有关 ST 的研究将 TE 和 TA 的相关因素结合在一起。本文对 TE 和 TA 进行了分解,并探讨了它们之间的关系。研究发现,在 GAMC 中,两者之间的关系是积极的,这一发现加强了支持组织在采购和供应链管理中使用 ST 的证据基础。此外,本文还加强了有关 KSA 对 TE 重要性的证据基础,补充了强调团队层面因素和个人技术属性重要性的现有研究。 实际意义 GAMC 的研究结果表明,行政/管理人员在制定 ST 时,应从个人和团队层面的角度出发,在判断个人是否适合加入 ST 时,应考虑 KSA 以及技术知识。在文献中有一些成熟的 KSA 测试,可供管理人员用于这项工作。研究结果还告诉行政人员/管理人员,技术知识对技术援助很重要,需要关注和投资,尤其是在采购任务涉及供应链中的高价值领域和/或关键事件的情况下。确定这种关系是一种积极的关系,为在采购和供应链管理中广泛使用的 ST 的功效提供了极为重要的证据。这也是一项罕见的从团队成员个人 KSA 角度研究 TE 的研究,进一步揭示了两者之间的积极关系。这两项研究结果丰富了有关采购和供应链管理中广泛使用的实践的非常有限的文献。

Building supply chain resilience to cyber risks: a dynamic capabilities perspective 建立供应链抵御网络风险的能力:动态能力视角
Pub Date : 2024-06-25 DOI: 10.1108/scm-01-2023-0016
Michael Herburger, Andreas Wieland, Carina Hochstrasser

Purpose

Disruptive events caused by cyber incidents, such as supply chain (SC) cyber incidents, can affect firms’ SC operations on a large scale, causing disruptions in material, information and financial flows and impacting the availability, integrity and confidentiality of SC assets. While SC resilience (SCRES) research has received much attention in recent years, the purpose of this study is to investigate specific capabilities for building SCRES to cyber risks. Based on a nuanced understanding of SC cyber risk characteristics, this study explores how to build SC cyber resilience (SCCR) using the perspective of dynamic capability (DC) theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on 79 in-depth interviews, this qualitative study examines 28 firms representing 4 SCs in Central Europe. The researchers interpret data from semistructured interviews and secondary data using the DC perspective, which covers sensing, seizing and transforming.

Findings

The authors identify SCRES capabilities, in general, and SCCR-specific capabilities that form the basis for the realignment of DCs for addressing cyber risks in SCs. The authors argue that SCRES capabilities should, in general, be combined with specific capabilities for SCCR to deal with SC cyber risks. Based on these findings, 10 propositions for future research are provided.

Practical implications

Practitioners should collaborate specifically to address cyber threats and risks in SCs, integrate new SC partners and use new approaches. Furthermore, this study shows that cyber risks need to be treated differently from traditional SC risks.

Originality/value

This empirical study enriches the SC management literature by examining SCRES to cyber risks through the insightful lens of DCs. It identifies DCs for building SCCR, makes several managerial contributions and is among the few that apply the DC approach to address specific SC risks.

目的由供应链(SC)网络事件等网络事故引发的破坏性事件可大规模影响企业的 SC 运营,造成物质流、信息流和资金流的中断,并影响 SC 资产的可用性、完整性和保密性。近年来,供应链复原力(SCRES)研究受到了广泛关注,而本研究的目的则是调查建立供应链复原力以应对网络风险的具体能力。基于对 SC 网络风险特征的细微理解,本研究从动态能力(DC)理论的角度探讨了如何建立 SC 网络复原力(SCCR)。设计/方法/途径本定性研究基于 79 个深入访谈,考察了代表中欧 4 个 SC 的 28 家公司。研究人员从半结构式访谈和二手资料中获得的数据,采用包括感知、捕捉和转换在内的 DC 视角进行解读。研究结果作者确定了一般 SCRES 能力和 SCCR 特定能力,这些能力构成了重新调整 DC 以应对 SC 中网络风险的基础。作者认为,一般而言,SCRES 能力应与 SCCR 的特定能力相结合,以应对自然科学网络风险。基于这些研究结果,作者提出了未来研究的 10 项建议。实践意义实践者应开展专门合作,应对自然科学领域的网络威胁和风险,整合新的自然科学合作伙伴,并采用新的方法。此外,本研究还表明,需要以不同于传统 SC 风险的方式对待网络风险。它确定了建立 SCCR 的 DC,在管理方面做出了若干贡献,是少数几项应用 DC 方法来应对特定 SC 风险的研究之一。
