“…Previous studies have primarily considered and examined digitalization as a unidimensional concept (e.g. Cenamor et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2022;Wei and Sun, 2021). Our study steps further by differentiating two distinct dimensions of digitalization and, therefore, sheds light on the digitalization literature.…”

PurposeThe highly uncertain and turbulent environments nowadays intensify the paradoxical effects of supply base concentration (SBC) on improving cost efficiency while increasing idiosyncratic risk (IR). Digitalization is regarded as a remedy for this paradox, yet digitization's potentially curative effect has not been empirically tested. Leveraging the lenses of paradox theory and information processing theory (IPT), this study explores how two distinct dimensions of digitalization, i.e. digitalization intensity (DI) and digitalization breadth (DB), reconcile the paradoxical effects of SBC.Design/methodology/approachUsing a panel dataset of 1,238 Chinese manufacturing firms in the period of 2012–2020, this study utilizes fixed-effects regression models to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe authors discover that SBC enhances a firm's cost efficiency but induces greater IR. More importantly, there is evidence that DI restrains the amplifying effect of SBC on IR. However, DB weakens the enhancing effect of SBC on cost efficiency and aggravates the SBC's exacerbating effect on IR.Originality/valueThis study advances the understanding of the paradoxical effects of SBC on cost efficiency and IR from a paradox theory perspective. More importantly, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the authors' study is the first to untangle the differential roles of DI and DB in reconciling the paradox of SBC. This study also provides practitioners with nuanced insights into how the practitioners should use appropriate tactics to deploy digital technologies effectively.

“…This could attenuate the cost benefits derived from SBC. In such a situation, firms may also be in a vulnerable position to tackle the supply chain disruption risks induced by a higher level of SBC (Shi et al, 2022), hence aggravating its exacerbating effect on IR. Thus, we hypothesize that:…”

“…Zhou et al [99] found that IT capability was positively correlated with external supply chain resilience and that supply chain collaboration was positively correlated with internal supply chain resilience. Shi et al [75] found that the level of enterprise digitalization has no direct relationship with supply chain resilience, but the level of digitalization has a positive impact on the improvement of supply chain integration.…”

Unfavorable external factors such as COVID-19 and economy recession have affected the abilities of enterprises to continue operating. Among them, capital chain resilience has become a key issue for enterprises. In the new era, artificial intelligence (AI) technology can provide new solutions for avoiding the breakage of the capital chain. Using data from listed companies in China, we find that AI technology can improve capital chain resilience. The main impact mechanism is to reduce the level of corporate financial constraints and improve internal control efficiency, and when corporate governance efficiency and resource acquisition capability are lower, such as poor levels of executive supervision and incentive, governance, executive resource acquisition ability, financial statement tone, business and financing environment, the effect of AI technology on improving capital chain resilience is more obvious. We enrich the research on AI and capital chain resilience, provide references for enterprises to use AI technology to help enterprises obtain more funds, warn of risks, and make correct decisions quickly in a crisis to help enterprises survive the crisis smoothly.

“…Munir et al (2020) emphasized the crucial role of SCI in optimizing the ability to collaborate with SC partners by promoting coordination and sharing of information. While the direct relationship between SCI and SCRE has been deliberated (Shi et al, 2023), the indirect relations are also necessary to be investigated. On the one hand, Munir et al (2020) demonstrated that SCI has a positive impact on SCRM, both through INI -i.e.…”

PurposeThis research examines the relationships between the components of supply chain integration (SCI) (i.e. internal integration (INI), customer integration (CI) and supplier integration (SI)), supply chain risk management (SCRM) and supply chain resilience (SCRE), with disruption impact (DI) as the moderator, among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approach271 useable data were collected from Chinese SMEs to test the research model with two statistical approaches of PLS-SEM and ANN analysis.FindingsResults show that SCI (i.e. INI, CI and SI) positively affects SCRM, and subsequently affects SCRE. Moreover, SCRM has also been found to fully mediate the relationship between INI, CI and SI with SCRE. Additionally, DI was also found to moderate the relationship between SCRM and SCRE.Research limitations/implicationsThis study expands the supply chain management-related knowledge by empirically validating the mediating role of SCRM between the elements of SCI and SCRE, as well as empirically identifying DI as the moderator between SCRM and SCRE.Practical implicationsThe findings offer valuable understanding that can guide SME managers, owners and stakeholders in developing strategies for integrating with customers, suppliers and internal departments, as well as implementing SCRM practices to enhance SCRE performance.Originality/valueThe research expands the existing literature on the elements of SCI and SCRM in maintaining SCRE from an Asian developing country's perspective.
