Abstract

Navigating the complexities and uncertainties of the modern business landscape requires resilient supply chains to ensure long-term viability and success. Referring to Industry 5.0 principles, Supply Chain Resilience must accommodate the characteristics of adaptability, sustainability, customer centricity, and innovativeness to accommodate the ambidextrous characteristics. The present study aims to address its objectives by examining current trends and themes in Supply Chain Ambidexterity (SCA) and exploring the intricate relationship among Supply Chain Ambidexterity, Resilience, Agility, and Digital Transformation while also identifying possible directions for future research. Through a bibliometric analysis of 290 articles from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases until August 2024, complemented with a systematic literature review of 77 articles, this research proposed an integrated research framework. It reveals a significant relationship between Digital Transformation, Dynamic capabilities, and their role in enhancing SCA, with Digital Transformation as an influencing factor. The research highlights the influence of SCA on resilience and agility empowered by Digital Transformation. This research also proposes ten propositions based on the systematic literature review and identifies research gaps for each proposition. This study is positioned at the nexus of bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review to identify research trends and provide a s an overall comprehensive overview of SCA in the context of Dynamic Capabilities, Digital Transformation, Supply Chain Resilience, and Agility. Its findings present the current state of research in SCA and, therefore, guide future academic endeavors in the dynamic arena. This research serves as a significant resource by pinpointing existing research gaps, delineating future directions, and providing practical recommendations for implementation within the industry.
