Understanding Responses to Supply Chain Disruptions: Insights from Information Processing and Resource Dependence Perspectives
运用信息处理与资源依赖视角，识别企业应对供应链中断的策略组合，并构建模型解释不同应对方式的发生机制，发现这些应对受稳定性动机和解释姿态的影响，而后者源于过往经验。
Why, how, and under what conditions do firms respond to supply chain disruptions? These are important questions, given that firms around the world are increasingly exposed to disruptions that impede their supply chain relationships and associated operations. This study applies information processing and resource dependence perspectives to identify the repertoire of strategic responses to supply chain disruptions and to devise and test a model that explains the occurrence of the alternative responses. The findings suggest that these responses are shaped by the “stability motive” and by “interpretative postures,” which evolve from past experiences.
