This study aims to investigate the impact of supply chain learning on operational resilience and identifies several moderating variables. The findings indicate that supply chain learning has a positive effect on operational resilience in uncertain supply chain environments. However, digital-technological diversity may weaken the role of supply chain learning, while customer concentration and participating in pilot programs can enhance its effect.
Purpose-Organisational learning plays a critical role for firms to keep abreast of a supply chain environment filled with volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). This study investigates the extent to which supply chain learning (SCL) affects operational resilience under such circumstances.Design/methodology/approach- This study developed a research framework and underlying hypotheses based on SCL and information processing theory (IPT). An empirical test was carried out using secondary data derived from the Supply Chain Policy launched by the Chinese government and two large related conferences. Findings - SCL positively relates to operational resilience, and several moderators influence the relationship between them. The authors argue that digital-technological diversity could weaken the role of SCL in operational resilience, whereas customer concentration, and participating in a pilot programme could enhance the effect of SCL. Practical implications - Firms should embrace the power of SCL in building resilience in the VUCA era. Meanwhile, they should be cautious of a digital-technological diversification strategy, appraise the customer base profile and proactively engage in pilot programmes.Originality/value - This research develops the SCL construct further in the context of China and empirically measures its power on operational resilience using a unique dataset. This contributes to the theorisation of SCL.
