The effects of supply chain risk information processing capability and supply chain finance on supply chain resilience: a moderated and mediated model

Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the impact of supply chain risk (SCR) information processing capabilities (e.g. SCR information sharing and SCR information analysis) and supply chain finance (SCF) on supply chain resilience, as well as the moderating effect of environmental uncertainty in the relationship between SCF and supply chain resilience.Design/methodology/approachThis paper proposes a theoretical model grounded on the information processing theory. Data collected from 216 Chinese firms are used to test the theoretical model by employing structural equation modelling.FindingsThe findings reveal that SCR information processing capabilities have a significant impact on both SCF and supply chain resilience. SCF plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between SCR information processing capabilities and supply chain resilience. In addition, environmental uncertainty moderates the relationship between SCF and supply chain resilience.Originality/valueFirst, this paper enriches the knowledge of how information processing capability affects SCF and supply chain resilience as the study considers the more granular SCR information rather than general information that has been discussed in previous studies. Second, this is one of the first papers to establish the relationship between SCF and supply chain resilience in emerging economies. Next, the paper extends the theoretical framework of the antecedents and consequences of SCF. Moreover, the study further facilitates the understanding of the role of the external environment in SCR and SCF management.

Enhancing supply chain resilience with supply chain governance and finance: the enabling role of digital technology adoption

“…Only scholars such as Yuan and Li (2022) have argued that SCF can mitigate potential supply chain liquidity disruptions by optimizing working capital to enhance SCR. This study, based on the research of Yuan and Li (2022), and other scholars, argues that SCF is a capability formed in the survival and development of firms. In particular, this study confirms that SCG can help firms accumulate access to resources and establish productive internal and external relationships, thereby forming SCF capabilities, which enriches the literature on the antecedents of SCF.…”

“…Other context factors that can affect the speed and efficiency of resource orchestration can be considered in future research, such as market share (Han et al. , 2022) and environmental uncertainty (Yuan and Li, 2022), to enrich the theoretical boundaries of existing research.…”

“…, 2022). In addition, SCF, as an effective tool that can be used to solve firms' financing dilemmas (Wang and Li, 2022), is a key capability that will help to enhance SCR (Yuan and Li, 2022); SCF also relies on the collaboration of firms in the supply chain (Lu et al. , 2021; Wang and Li, 2022).…”

“…Finally, this paper adopts DTA as a contextual factor and argues that the level of DTA can enhance the speed and efficiency of resource orchestration. Other context factors that can affect the speed and efficiency of resource orchestration can be considered in future research, such as market share (Han et al, 2022) and environmental uncertainty (Yuan and Li, 2022), to enrich the theoretical boundaries of existing research.…”

Sustainable Performance through Digital Supply Chains in Industry 4.0 Era: Amidst the Pandemic Experience

“…The theory discussed the requirement of information processing and organizational capabilities to obtain the best commercial outcomes [29]. Several areas, such as information systems [78], integration [79], S.C.s [80], and digital technologies [81] have applied this theory in the past. Based on this theory, we propose a theoretical framework that measures DSC's impact on the S.P.…”
