Purpose

The COVID-19 pandemic showed that preestablished contingency plans and resilience practices were insufficient to cope with long-term and global disruptions. Companies thus struggled to develop capabilities that ensure their survivability during similar crises. Building on the adaptation-based view (ABV) of supply chain resilience, this study aims to offer an in-depth perspective on survivability in supply chains (SCs).

Design/methodology/approach

The paper empirically tests related relationships between adaptation capabilities and practices that ensure operational continuity. Responses from 252 organisations were collected and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling.

Findings

The results empirically support the ABV’s theoretical propositions and assess the possibilities of intertwining, digitalisation, a circular economy and maturity for the survivability of SCs.

Research limitations/implications

The derived insights are attractive for managers and researchers to foster supply chain survivability and contribute to the increasing efforts of middle-range theorising in logistics and supply chain management research.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first studies to define factors enhancing the survivability of SCs through the lens of the ABV.

长期破坏期间的企业生存能力：基于适应的观点

 目的

COVID-19 大流行表明，预先制定的应急计划和弹性实践不足以应对长期和全球性的干扰。因此，公司努力发展能力以确保其在类似危机中的生存能力。本研究以供应链弹性的基于适应的观点（ABV）为基础，旨在为供应链（SC）的生存能力提供深入的视角。

设计/方法论/途径

本文实证检验了适应能力和确保运营连续性的实践之间的相关关系。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型收集并分析了 252 个组织的回复。

 发现

结果从实证上支持了 ABV 的理论主张，并评估了交织、数字化、循环经济和供应链生存能力成熟度的可能性。

研究局限性/影响

由此得出的见解对于管理者和研究人员来说很有吸引力，可以促进供应链的生存能力，并为物流和供应链管理研究中的中层理论的不断努力做出贡献。

 原创性/价值

据作者所知，这项研究是通过 ABV 的视角定义增强 SC 生存能力的因素的首批研究之一。
