“…Crabtree and Miller, 1992;Jaspers, 2007;Jiang et al, 2016;Xu, 2018), including the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. Do et al, 2021;Kumari et al, 2021), we adopt a deductive approach. Specifically, we adopt theories on crisis management and resilience as an analytical lens when analyzing the qualitative data but simultaneously we stay open for the data to discover new themes (cf.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown have hit the food service industry very hard. The COVID-19 outbreak has created a sharp downturn for firms in the food service industry, compelling actors across the whole food service supply chain to rethink their strategies. The purpose of this paper is to document the impact of COVID-19 on the food service supply chain, as well as to identify crisis management strategies food service firms use during the hectic early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic to survive the current and prepare for future pandemics.Design/methodology/approachWe performed a qualitative descriptive study using 21 semi-structured interviews with actors across the food service supply chain (i.e. farmers, wholesalers and food service providers). Data were collected to shed light on food service firms' decision making during the hectic early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic to uncover various crisis management strategies used.FindingsBy integrating the disaster and crisis pyramid and resilience theory, four core crisis management strategies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic are conceptualized, i.e. (1) managing resources, (2) diversifying strategically, (3) prioritizing long-term outcomes and (4) bonding socially.Originality/valueThe theoretical contributions include documenting the performance impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food service supply chain and exploring crisis management strategies food service firms employed during the hectic early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, functioning and survival during a pandemic, an emerging field in literature, are central to this study. Additionally, while recent research suggests that integrating crisis management and resilience literature may provide a more complete understanding of the organization–crisis relationship, these literature streams mainly developed in isolation. By integrating the literature streams of crisis management and resilience and applying these theories to the COVID-19 crisis, our study provides specific managerial guidelines.

“…The authors have used qualitative interviews to derive their research propositions (see, Shareef et al , 2021; Modgil et al , 2021; Ashraf et al , 2021; Castka et al , 2021; Klymenko and Halse, 2021; Hohenstein, 2022; Wagner et al , 2022; Kohl et al , 2022; Song et al , 2022). Two articles based on pragmatism philosophy were accepted (see, Nayal et al , 2021; Kumari et al , 2021). Nayal et al (2021) adopted interpretive logic to develop a theoretical model and further validated the model using the ANP technique.…”

To study the factors affecting people's participation in the development of agricultural value chains, the research team collected information from 230 samples in some northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam. The article uses the EFA model and Probit model to conduct the analysis. By using the EFA model and the Probit model to assess the factors affecting farmers' participation in the development of the value chain, our findings show factors: income, natural conditions, loan capital, market have a great impact on the level of people's participation. The article has suggested some solutions to improve people's participation in agricultural value chain development.
