Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the impact of supply chain disruptions on the operations and sales performance of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the adoption of “green” technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in Davao Region, Philippines.

Design/methodology/approach

A business impact survey was conducted among 113 MSMEs in Davao Region through the Regional Inclusive Innovation Center participated by the industry, government and the academe from October–December 2020. The impact of supply chain disruptions on the status of business operations was determined using ordered logit regression, while the impact on sales performance during the lockdown and new normal periods were modeled using logit regression. The technology upgrading plans of the MSMEs, including the adoption of “green” technology, were also determined.

Findings

This study found that the extent of disruption in processing the goods and services resulted in a negative impact on business operations, and the disruption of the availability of raw materials negatively affected the sales performance during the lockdown period. Moreover, around 20%–33% of MSMEs experiencing heavy supply chain disruptions had a plan to upgrade their business processes by adopting “green” technology.

Research limitations/implications

MSMEs need to establish strategic collaboration among the different stakeholders through public, private, non-government institutions and academe collaboration to enhance the capabilities of MSMEs in handling supply chain disruptions and pursuing technology upgrading.

Originality/value

This paper is among the early studies of the impact of COVID-19 to supply chains in the Philippines focusing on the MSMEs.

COVID-19 大流行期间供应链中断对菲律宾达沃地区中小型企业的影响

目的

本文旨在调查菲律宾达沃地区 COVID-19 大流行期间供应链中断对微型、中小型企业 (MSME) 的运营和销售业绩的影响以及“绿色”技术的采用。

设计/方法/方法

2020 年 10 月至 2020 年 12 月，通过由行业、政府和学术界参与的区域包容性创新中心，在达沃地区的 113 家中小微企业中开展了一项业务影响调查。使用有序 logit 确定供应链中断对业务运营状况的影响回归，而在锁定和新常态期间对销售业绩的影响是使用 logit 回归建模的。还确定了中小微企业的技术升级计划，包括采用“绿色”技术。

发现

该研究发现，商品和服务加工中断的程度对业务运营产生了负面影响，原材料供应中断对锁定期间的销售业绩产生了负面影响。此外，大约 20%–33% 经历严重供应链中断的 MSME 计划通过采用“绿色”技术来升级其业务流程。

研究限制/影响

中小微企业需要通过公共、私人、非政府机构和学术界合作，在不同利益相关者之间建立战略合作，以提高中小微企业处理供应链中断和追求技术升级的能力。

原创性/价值

本文是关于 COVID-19 对菲律宾供应链影响的早期研究之一，重点是 MSME。
