Purpose

The purpose of this paper is twofold: to investigate the antecedents of resilience and to highlight the importance of resilience in achieving reconfiguration in supply chains.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper draws on literature on supply chain resilience and collects data from 253 companies in Qatar to understand the influence of the antecedents of supply chain resilience and the impact of resilience on reconfiguration using partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings

The findings show that antecedents like risk management culture, agility and collaboration positively affect the supply chain resilience. Further, the study establishes that companies can leverage their supply chain resilience to reconfigure supply chain in case of disruptions.

Practical implications

This study is important for supply chain managers in Qatar, as the country faced major disruption of supply chains in wake of the blockade imposed by its neighbors with which it had the only land route and maximum trade. The findings from this study should aid mangers in developing resilient supply chains.

Originality/value

This paper highlights the role of supply chain resilience in achieving reconfiguration. Further, novelty of the work reported in this paper lies in its context where supply chains recently faced actual disruptions.

供应链弹性和重新配置的前因和后果：新兴经济体的实证研究

目的

本文的目的有两个：研究弹性的前因，并强调弹性在实现供应链重构中的重要性。

设计/方法/方法

本文借鉴供应链弹性方面的文献，收集卡塔尔 253 家公司的数据，使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型来了解供应链弹性前因的影响以及弹性对重构的影响。

发现

研究结果表明，风险管理文化、敏捷性和协作等前因对供应链弹性产生积极影响。此外，该研究表明，公司可以利用其供应链弹性来重新配置供应链，以防万一。

实际影响

这项研究对卡塔尔的供应链管理者很重要，因为该国在其拥有唯一陆路和最大贸易量的邻国实施封锁后，面临着供应链的严重中断。这项研究的结果应该有助于管理者发展有弹性的供应链。

原创性/价值

本文重点介绍了供应链弹性在实现重新配置中的作用。此外，本文报告的工作的新颖之处在于其供应链最近面临实际中断的背景。
