The Role of Information Processing Capabilities, Digital Supply Chain and Supply Chain Risk Management in enhancing Supply Chain Resilience

Abstract

Supply chain (SC) management has never been more difficult. Importantly, the pandemic has caused economic and worldwide devastation, which is manifested as a "black swan" in the manufacturing sector. Thus, the goal of this research article was to know how digital supply chains and information processing contribute to supply chain resilience through supply chain risk management. This study uses information processing theory to learn about supply chain risk management and resilience. This conceptual study proposed that digital supply chain and information processing capability can have a main and favorable role on supply chain risk management and resilience. Likewise, the relationship between digital supply chain and information processing capability can be positively mediated by supply chain risk management. By effectively responding to supply chain disruptions and recognizing the critical role of key study variables in risk management, information processing capabilities can have a more significant impact on supply chain risk performance, thereby enhancing resilience. By offering a theory framework based on information processing theory, this paper adds on to the body of knowledge on sustainable organizational practices. It can help organizations strategically align operational capabilities with sustainability goals and help the foundation for further empirical research in this crucial area.
