Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of digital transformation on supply chain resilience in the United States.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Digital transformation has significantly impacted supply chain resilience, as evidenced by recent findings. With the integration of digital technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, supply chains have become more agile and adaptable to disruptions. These technologies facilitate real-time monitoring and data analysis, enabling better risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Additionally, digitalization enhances communication and collaboration across the supply chain network, enabling faster responses to disruptions and enabling more efficient decision-making processes. Furthermore, the adoption of digital platforms and cloud-based solutions has enabled greater transparency and visibility throughout the supply chain, allowing businesses to identify vulnerabilities and implement proactive measures to strengthen resilience. Overall, the findings suggest that digital transformation plays a crucial role in enhancing supply chain resilience by enabling greater flexibility, responsiveness, and risk management capabilities.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Resource-based view, dynamic capabilities theory and complex adaptive systems theory may be use to anchor future studies on assessing the effect of digital transformation on supply chain resilience in the United States. Facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration between academia and industry to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Advocate for supportive policy frameworks that incentivize investment in digital infrastructure, skills development, and innovation to enhance supply chain resilience.
