Purpose

Drawing on panarchy theory and adaptive cycles, this study aims to investigate the role of reorganisation capabilities on firms’ supply chain resilience. The conceptual model underpinned by panarchy theory is tested in the agrifood supply chains disrupted by a geopolitical crisis and faced with material shortage. The study considers circularity as a core reorganisational capability and measures its interplay with two other capabilities: new product development and resource reconfiguration capabilities to achieve supply chain resilience.

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative research design is followed to test the relationships between circularity capabilities, resource reconfiguration capabilities, new product development capabilities and supply chain resilience. A cross-sectional survey is applied to a sample drawn from food manufacturers who are dependent on wheat and sunflower oil as raw material and who are faced with material shortages in the aftermath of a geopolitical crisis. Measurement models and hypotheses are tested with the partial least squared structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) based on 324 responses.

Findings

The results show that new product development and resource reconfiguration capabilities fully mediate the relationship between circularity capabilities and supply chain resilience. In other words, the food producers achieved supply chain resilience in response to agrifood supply chain disruption when they mobilised circularity capabilities in combination with new product development and resource reconfiguration capabilities.

Practical implications

The findings suggest that producers in the agrifood industry and even those in other industries need to develop circularity capabilities in combination with new product development and resource reconfiguration capabilities to tackle supply chain disruptions. In a world that is challenged by geopolitical and climate-related crises, this means leveraging 3R practices as well as resource substitution and reconfiguration in new product development processes.

Originality/value

The study explores the release and reorganisation phases of adaptive cycles in a panarchy by analysing the interplay between different capabilities for building supply chain resilience in response to disruptions challenging supply chains from higher levels of the panarchy. The results extend the theoretical debate between circularity and supply chain resilience to an empirical setting and suggest the introduction of new variables to this relationship.

纵观全政府状态：食品供应链应对地缘政治危机的重组能力

 目的

本研究借鉴泛政府理论和适应性周期，旨在探讨重组能力对公司供应链弹性的作用。以泛政府理论为基础的概念模型在受地缘政治危机扰乱并面临材料短缺的农业食品供应链中得到了检验。该研究将循环性视为一项核心重组能力，并衡量其与其他两种能力的相互作用：新产品开发和资源重新配置能力，以实现供应链弹性。

设计/方法/方法

遵循定量研究设计，以测试循环能力、资源重构能力、新产品开发能力和供应链弹性之间的关系。横断面调查适用于从依赖小麦和葵花籽油作为原材料并且在地缘政治危机后面临材料短缺的食品制造商中提取的样本。测量模型和假设使用基于 324 个响应的偏最小二乘结构方程模型 （PLS-SEM） 进行测试。

 发现

结果表明，新产品开发和资源重构能力完全中介了循环能力与供应链弹性之间的关系。换言之，食品生产商在动员循环能力并结合新产品开发和资源重新配置能力时，实现了应对农业食品供应链中断的供应链弹性。

 实际意义

研究结果表明，农业食品行业的生产商，甚至其他行业的生产商都需要发展循环能力，并结合新产品开发和资源重新配置能力，以应对供应链中断。在一个面临地缘政治和气候相关危机挑战的世界中，这意味着在新产品开发过程中利用 3R 实践以及资源替代和重新配置。

 原创性/价值

该研究通过分析建立供应链弹性以应对来自泛政府更高级别的供应链挑战的中断的不同能力之间的相互作用，探讨了泛政府中适应性周期的释放和重组阶段。研究结果将循环性和供应链弹性之间的理论争论扩展到实证背景，并建议为这种关系引入新的变量。
