Theory Landscape and Research Perspectives in Current Supply Chain Resilience Research

In an era of turbulence and increased volatility, the concept of Supply Chain Resilience is increasingly gaining attention within supply chain and logistics management research. However, both practitioners and scholars are still facing inconsistencies in the describing terminology, and thus anticipate a comprehensive understanding of the nature of Supply Chain Resilience. By conducting a systematic review of existing literature, and applying the conceptual lens of borrowing theories from related scientific disciplines, this research identifies 56 different theories and ten different perspectives within existing Supply Chain Resilience literature. This paper contributes to a better understanding of current Supply Chain Resilience research perspectives, based on theories applied within the field, and helps scholars to better investigate supply chain research activities within the proposed landscape of Supply Chain Resilience.
