The impact of procurement digitalization on supply chain resilience: empirical evidence from Finland
基于147家芬兰企业的调查数据，研究了采购数字化（数据分析、信息共享和流程数字化）如何通过降低供应链不确定性和加强风险管理来提升供应链韧性。
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of procurement digitalization in reducing uncertainty in the supply chain (SC) and how it relates to mitigating SC risks and improving SC resilience (SCRES). Design/methodology/approach Based on survey data collected from the procurement functions of 147 Finnish firms, this study conceptualizes data analytics, information sharing and procurement process digitalization as drivers of procurement digitalization and investigates their impact on SC risk management and SCRES by using partial least squares path modeling. Findings Procurement digitalization through data analytics and digital process maturity requires effective information sharing among SC partners and SC risk management to be able to improve SCRES. Procurement digitalization increases information-processing capacities and reduces uncertainty in the SC. Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding on the relationships between procurement digitalization and SCRES.
