What is it about?
Supply Chain Resilience (SCRES) is deemed as an essential strategic capability for a firm. However, the current research on SCRES remains fragmented, with too much disparity in the definitions of the concept, inconsistent identification of its constructs and a lack of clarity on the relationships between them. The purpose of this study was to analyse the concept of SCRES within a concept mapping framework to seek conceptual clarity.

Why is it important?
Our comprehensive Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on 103 peer-reviewed journal articles revealed five core SCRES capabilities that can support a firm to build resilience: the ability to anticipate, to adapt, to respond, to recover and to learn. This study, therefore, lays a foundation for future empirical studies to investigate further these capabilities in different industry contexts.
Perspectives
The concept of SCRES is promising, but its understanding and application in SCM domain are still in its infancy. This study sought to address a gap by bringing together fragmented literature from multiple studies to create a solid body of knowledge that addresses the need for conceptual clarity in SCRES literature.
