Overview

Conceptual framework uncovers maladaptation mechanisms in supply chains, suggesting improvements for resilience.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how maladaptation arises within supply chains and to build a conceptual framework to analyze it.
  • Developed a conceptual framework integrating maladaptation theory from climate change with resilience theory from social–ecological systems.
  • Identified mechanisms such as cross-level interaction, delayed feedback, and path dependence in maladaptation emergence.
  • Analyzed supply chain characteristics that influence maladaptation including compressed timeframes and competition.
  • Outlined the dynamic mechanisms that lead to maladaptation in supply chains.
  • Established the role of specific supply chain characteristics in accelerating maladaptation processes.
  • Proposed a framework to improve understanding of when adaptive actions may become maladaptive.
