“…Therefore, supply chain risk resilience is an important measure that enables us to effectively identify the direct impact of new firm capabilities, on an organization's capacity to mitigate risk (Adobor and McMullen, 2018). A firm capability that has attracted significant academic and practitioner interest in recent years due to its ability to change the nature of risk being faced by firms is BDA (Moffitt et al, 2016). BDA is used by businesses for several purposes, ranging from new customer acquisition, to increasing firm operational efficiency (Abbasi et al, 2016;Côrte-Real et al, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how firms can develop business risk resilience from supply chain disruption events, by developing big data analytics (BDA) capabilities within their organization. The authors test whether BDA mediates the impact of institutional response to supply chain disruption events, and information technology infrastructure capabilities (ITICs), on firm’s ability to develop risk resilience from supply chain disruption events. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on survey data collected from 225 firms, spread across several sectors in the USA and Europe. The respondents are primarily senior and middle management professionals who have experience within the information technology (IT) and supply chain domain. Validity and reliability analyses were performed using SPSS and AMOS; and covariance-based structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. Findings The analysis reveals two significant findings. First, the authors observe that institutional experience with managing supply chain disruption events has a negative impact on firm’s ability to develop business risk resilience. However, if the organizations adopt BDA capabilities, it enables them to effectively utilize resident firm knowledge and develop supply chain risk resilience capacity. The results further suggest that BDA positively adds to an organization’s existing IT capabilities. The analysis shows that BDA mediates the impact of ITIC on the organization’s ability to develop risk resilience to supply chain disruption events. Originality/value This study is one of the few works that empirically validate the important role that BDA capabilities play in enabling firms develop business risk resilience from supply chain disruption events. The study further provides a counterpoint to the existing perspective within the supply chain risk management literature that institutional experience of managing past supply chain disruption events prepares the organization to deal with future disruption events. This paper adds to our understanding of how, by adopting BDA capabilities, firms can develop supply chain risk resilience from disruption events.

“…Indeed, this particular document collection could have also been analyzed by other means than looking at the full content of each article, e.g., a keyword-based analysis. However, as noted by Moffitt et al [37], keywords often poorly represent the actual document content. Besides, large document collections do usually not feature keywords or similar metadata at all.…”

OverviewThis chapter examines the effects of technical innovations in record keeping on accounting and the nature of accounting work. There is no clear-cut periodisation of the changes in technologies but, for convenience, changes are dealt with in four overlapping eras. The first era covers the period of increasing mechanical aided recordkeeping from the mid-19th century until about 1930. The second period looks at the changes from the Second World War until the early 1970s arising from the early introduction of digital computing into the business sphere. The last three decades of the century, when computing became established as the prime mode of business record keeping and the personal computer (PC) revolution took place, represents the third era. This epoch blends into the final era when the combination of the Internet and highly integrated systems change the nature of business operations as well as the recordkeeping of which accounting is a part.One of the reasons for a lack of clear periodisation is that not all businesses, or all accounting practices, changed at the same rate or in the same ways. There were clear sectorial differences in all periods, in several dimensions, as well as geographical differences in part influenced by levels of economic development. In this context, the periods discussed are mainly from the developed Anglo-Saxon and European perspective. Additionally, various degrees of delay and inertia operated with the result that, even in the later, more technically advanced, periods, some organisations continued to use systems from earlier eras though possibly for good (economic) reasons. Indeed it is likely that even today there are small organisations using little technology, and some not keeping accounting records at all. The chronological study of accounting technologies is then shown to be central to the transformation of the ways in which accounting and accountants operated. Beyond these first order changes, the technological changes have, partly through lowered processing costs and increased process and commination speeds, facilitated growth in the scale of business operations and led to more information for decision making and control. It is clear that the technical changes discussed in this chapter have created opportunities and threats for accounting firms and for accountants, both within public practice and the commercial or public sectors. Some of these changes are explored, including; the effects of lack of 'paper trail' on the audit process; the opportunities for accounting firms to broaden their scope of business consultancy; the separation deskilling and feminisation of bookkeeping; and threats from new technologies.The chapter concludes with a review and reflections on the further development of information systems in accounting and their impact.
