Relationship between supply chain disruption orientation and firm’s resilience in China: the dynamic capabilities perspective

This study attempts to reveal the relationship between supply chain disruption orientation (SCDO) and firm's resilience in China under the background of the US–China trade war. Furthermore, the paths to build firm's resilience through resource reconfiguration and organizational learning (OL) are explored with dynamic capabilities theory. We adopt mixed-methods research design, collecting survey data from 220 Chinese manufacturing firms to test the conceptual model with partial least squares structural equation modelling and second-hand data from Dow Jones Factiva to conduct theme analysis. The results show that resource reconfiguration and OL have full mediation effect on the relationship between SCDO and firm's resilience, respectively.
