Abstract

In the face of unprecedented global supply chain disruptions, enhancing supply chain resilience (SCR) has become a critical priority. This empirical study examines the crucial role of resource orchestration, encompassing internal reconfiguration and external integration, across the three dynamic capabilities of SCR: readiness, response, and recovery. Additionally, it investigates the moderating effect of AI assimilation on these relationships. Grounded in Resource Orchestration Theory (ROT), this research analyzes data from 388 supply chain executives in China. The findings demonstrate that resource orchestration significantly enhances SCR across most capabilities, with the notable exception of external integration’s effect on the recovery. Interestingly, AI assimilation emerges as a key moderator, strengthening the relationship between internal reconfiguration and the SCR capabilities of readiness and recovery, while exhibiting a negligible effect on the response. This study contributes to the academic discourse by illuminating the complex interactions among ROT, SCR, and AI assimilation, offering valuable guidance for developing effective SCR strategies and highlight the pivotal role of AI assimilation in navigating the complexities of modern global supply chain challenges.
