Purpose

Given the increasingly turbulent business landscape and unprecedented incidents (e.g. Covid-19), firms must achieve supply chain resilience (SCRes) as a dynamic capability to bounce back from adversities and ensure continuity of operations. The purpose of this study is to integrate the three interrelated [knowledge management, risk management culture (RMC) and resilience] but often separately discussed concepts to advance the understanding of their intertwined influence on SCRes in the agri-food supply chains.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a cross-sectional survey approach where quantitative data is collected from 349 participants from the Australian agri-food supply chains to test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings

Exposure to supply chain risks triggers the deployment of specific knowledge management practices in the agri-food supply chains. Further, the analysis on serial mediation suggests that firms’ knowledge management practices work sequentially (knowledge acquisition, assimilation and application) and develop a RMC to achieve SCRes amid supply chain risks.

Practical implications

The findings of this study inform practitioners and policymakers who seek to understand the key mechanisms that facilitate the development of SCRes when facing supply chain risks, particularly in the Australian agri-food supply chains.

Social implications

The growth of the food industry through more resilient food supply chains could ensure sustained food supply and more employment opportunities.

Originality/value

Using dynamic capability theory, the authors devise a novel empirical model that explicates how knowledge management practices and RMC instigate the dynamic capability of SCRes amid supply chain risks facing agri-food supply chains.

通过农业食品供应链中的知识管理实践和风险管理文化实现复原力

目的

鉴于日益动荡的商业环境和前所未有的事件（例如 Covid-19），公司必须实现供应链弹性 (SCRes) 作为从逆境中恢复过来并确保运营连续性的动态能力。本研究的目的是整合三个相互关联的 [知识管理、风险管理文化 (RMC) 和复原力] 但经常单独讨论的概念，以促进对它们对农业食品供应链中 SCR 的交织影响的理解。

设计/方法/方法

本研究采用横断面调查方法，从澳大利亚农业食品供应链的 349 名参与者那里收集定量数据，以检验提议的假设。

发现

暴露于供应链风险会触发在农业食品供应链中部署特定的知识管理实践。此外，对串行中介的分析表明，公司的知识管理实践是按顺序工作的（知识获取、吸收和应用），并开发 RMC 以在供应链风险中实现 SCRs。

实际影响

本研究的结果为寻求了解在面临供应链风险时促进 SCR 发展的关键机制的从业者和政策制定者提供信息，尤其是在澳大利亚农业食品供应链中。

社会影响

通过更具弹性的食品供应链促进食品行业的发展，可以确保持续的食品供应和更多的就业机会。

原创性/价值

作者使用动态能力理论设计了一个新的经验模型，该模型解释了知识管理实践和 RMC 如何在农业食品供应链面临的供应链风险中激发 SCRes 的动态能力。
