A path to build supply chain cyber-resilience through absorptive capacity and visibility: Two empirical studies
通过两项实证研究，考察可见性如何影响数据泄露时期的供应链网络韧性，并引入权力和吸收能力两个新前因，发现强大买方和吸收能力通过可见性促进韧性，而占主导地位的供应商不愿分享信息。
Little is known about cyber-resilience in supply chain management . Using two empirical studies, this paper examines how visibility impacts cyber-resilience in times of data breaches. Two new antecedents (power and absorptive capacity) are introduced to see how they impact cyber-resilience through visibility. The social exchange theory provided theoretical explanations for the relationships. Findings in Study-1 revealed that powerful buyers and supply chain absorptive capacity contribute to visibility to create cyber-resilience, while dominant suppliers are reluctant to share information in visibility practice. In a scenario-based experiment on supply chain and operations managers, we scrutinized the role of visibility by manipulating timeliness and accuracy in Study 2. Study 2 revealed that supply chain and operations managers believed that companies and their suppliers could avoid, maintain, and recover from disruption when real-time information is available.
