Extending the research agenda for supply chain management in the age of disruption: The multifaceted role and implications of dynamic capabilities

Abstract

Fueled by disruptive occurrences and innovative technologies, the world’s increasing complexity and uncertainty have presented challenges to supply chain management (SCM). To remain competitive and resilient, firms must adopt dynamic capabilities (DCs) that enable quick responses to environmental changes. By reviewing existing research on SCM and DCs, this study aims to explore the relationship between DCs and SCM in the age of disruption from multiple aspects and examine both the moderating and mediating roles of DCs on firm performance. Moreover, we explore the interplay between dynamic and digital capabilities (i.e., disruptions and innovative technologies), including blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), and how they can interactively address SCM challenges. Our findings will not only provide opportunities for further research into the intersection between DCs and the SCM field but also offer practical insights for firms navigating the unpredictable landscape of contemporary business environments.
