Antecedents and consequences of supply chain risk management capabilities: an investigation in the post-coronavirus crisis

This study evaluates the antecedents and consequences of supply chain risk management capabilities. Informed by the information processing theory, we conceptualize supply chain disruption orientation as an organic control and supply chain visibility as a mechanistic control. Both control mechanisms build the information processing capacities, which need to fit with the information processing requirements imposed by disruption impact during the adverse supply chain disruptions in the wake of the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. When the fit is realized, supply chain risk management capabilities will be improved. This study also examines the role of supply chain risk management capabilities in bolstering supply chain resilience to the catastrophic occurrence. Our findings indicate the fit between information processing capacities and requirements enhances supply chain risk management capabilities, which, in turn, result in enhanced supply chain resilience.
