Dynamism, disruption orientation, and resilience in the supply chain and the impacts on financial performance: A dynamic capabilities perspective

Supply chains are becoming increasingly dynamic in response to changing business environments and technology. This has created challenges in managing the flow of materials and created greater risk of disruption. As such this study investigates the impact of such dynamism on disruption orientations, resilience, and financial performance. Herein an integrated conceptual framework is developed and then tested using survey data from a cross section of 241 Chinese companies and structural equation modelling. The results of the study reveal that supply chain dynamism has a significant positive effect on supply chain disruption orientation and supply chain resilience. Supply chain resilience is also affected by supply chain disruption orientation. However, the financial performance impacts of supply chain disruption orientation are strictly through supply chain resilience.
