Purpose

The COVID-19 pandemic and recent disruptive events are affecting firms’ operations and supply chain networks on a large scale, causing disturbances in supply, demand, production and logistics activities. Although supply chain resilience (SCR) research has received large attention in recent years, the purpose of this paper is to offer an original contribution by exploring how complex configurations and interactions between SCR strategies and capacities can lead to resilience.

Design/methodology/approach

This study investigates the configurations of SCR strategies and capacities using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.

Findings

First, the findings reveal different SCR strategy configurations through the lens of absorptive, reactive and restorative capacities to achieve resilience. Second, this study applies the contingent resource-based view (CRBV) perspective to interpret how organizations can achieve resilience before, during and after a disruptive event. Third, it offers an analysis of different groups of organizations, based on the adoption of different SCR strategies and capacities.

Originality/value

This study identifies a set of equifinal SCR strategies and capacity configurations that can be implemented to cope with a disruptive event and lead to resilience. It also enriches the research addressing the consecutive phases of SCR investments, developing the CRBV perspective. In our results, five solutions describe organizations that invest in absorptive capacities, representing an ex ante readiness.

在颠覆时代实现供应链弹性：能力和战略的配置方法

目的

COVID-19大流行和最近的破坏性事件正在大规模影响企业的运营和供应链网络，造成供应、需求、生产和物流活动的干扰。尽管供应链弹性（SCR）研究近年来受到广泛关注，但本文的目的是通过探索 SCR 策略和能力之间的复杂配置和相互作用如何实现弹性来提供原创性贡献。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究使用模糊集定性比较分析研究了 SCR 策略和容量的配置。

发现

首先，研究结果通过吸收、反应和恢复能力的视角揭示了不同的 SCR 策略配置，以实现恢复力。其次，本研究应用基于偶然资源的观点（CRBV）视角来解释组织如何在破坏性事件之前、期间和之后实现复原力。第三，它根据不同的 SCR 策略和能力的采用，对不同的组织群体进行了分析。

原创性/价值

本研究确定了一套等效的 SCR 策略和容量配置，可用于应对破坏性事件并实现恢复力。它还丰富了针对 SCR 投资连续阶段的研究，发展了 CRBV 视角。在我们的结果中，五个解决方案描述了投资吸收能力的组织，代表了事前准备。
