Abstract

This research investigates the impact of supply chain characteristic factors on disruption mitigation capabilities. We intend to derive specific supply chain factors that either contribute to or conversely impact a firm's supply chain disruption mitigation capabilities. We find that supply chain geographic dispersion has a negative impact on a firm's disruption mitigation capabilities. Supply chain agility has a positive impact on a firm's disruption recovery capability. Supply chain integration has direct positive impacts on a company's disruption warning capability and recovery capability. And supply chain visibility enhances a company's disruption warning capability. In addition, high level of disruption warning capability enhances a company's disruption recovery capability. The results offer guidelines for supply chain managers to enhance disruption mitigation capabilities through understanding the role of supply chain characteristic factors.
