Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of procurement digitalization in reducing uncertainty in the supply chain (SC) and how it relates to mitigating SC risks and improving SC resilience (SCRES).

Design/methodology/approach

Based on survey data collected from the procurement functions of 147 Finnish firms, this study conceptualizes data analytics, information sharing and procurement process digitalization as drivers of procurement digitalization and investigates their impact on SC risk management and SCRES by using partial least squares path modeling.

Findings

Procurement digitalization through data analytics and digital process maturity requires effective information sharing among SC partners and SC risk management to be able to improve SCRES. Procurement digitalization increases information-processing capacities and reduces uncertainty in the SC.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the understanding on the relationships between procurement digitalization and SCRES.

采购数字化对供应链弹性的影响：来自芬兰的经验证据

目的

本研究的目的是调查采购数字化在减少供应链 (SC) 不确定性方面的作用，以及它与减轻 SC 风险和提高 SC 弹性 (SCRES) 的关系。

设计/方法/途径

基于从 147 家芬兰公司的采购职能部门收集的调查数据，本研究将数据分析、信息共享和采购流程数字化概念化为采购数字化的驱动因素，并通过使用偏最小二乘路径建模调查它们对 SC 风险管理和 SCRES 的影响。

发现

通过数据分析和数字流程成熟度实现的采购数字化需要 SC 合作伙伴和 SC 风险管理之间的有效信息共享，以便能够改进 SCRES。采购数字化提高了信息处理能力并减少了 SC 中的不确定性。

原创性/价值

本研究有助于理解采购数字化与 SCRES 之间的关系。
