International Supply Chain Resilience: a Big Data Perspective

摘要: It was not a natural disaster but terrorism (the September 9/11 attacks) that brought into question the transactional orthodoxy guiding post-Cold War design configuration of international supply chains. The US government reaction to put social pressure and introduce trade measures on multi-national enterprises (MNEs) were importing manufactured products based scale economies low factor production costs. They forced self-police their chains implement security measures. If they be able continue have access market. In order reduce risks had become involved in public/private partnerships, CTPAT accreditation, build up buffer “stock” offer financial support domestic manufacturers logistic firms. This perceived as cost rather than source future capability. However poses only one disruption it became evident there many well man-made disasters confronting Therefore, by 2005, work MIT’s Yossi Sheffi with his seminal book “The Resilient Enterprise” scholarly attention need for firms resilient A chain robust enough absorb disruption, keep functioning return back normal activity short time possible. 2015, re-emphasized power resilience through latest Power Resilience: How Best Companies Manage Unexpected.” capability building competitive advantage. Whilst has grown an important field, area overlooked scholars is role played big data technology. this technical viewpoint we explore could play chain, improve its transform operational acknowledges reasons dearth scholarship also looks at “dark side” highlighting contribution such technology might radical revision discourse. Finally, propose initial theoretical framework examples type capabilities bring respect resilience.
