Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience Through Digital Capabilities

Abstract

The objective of the chapter was to review pertinent literature on the concepts of supply chain resilience and digital capabilities. Further reviews were undertaken to identify the supply chain digital technologies presently in use and to explore the relevance of theoretical underpinnings, where these theories or perspectives attempt to explain the relationships between the constructs. It was concluded that although the digital technologies available in the market to support supply chain resilience are sufficient, the same cannot be said for the underpinning theories, and neither are the concepts under consideration properly grounded in the literature. More work, therefore, needs to be done on the concepts and the theories.
